Did you murder anyone today or steal from them?
Discussion
nope...
Good job. You accidentally furthered my goal. Just because you don't personally see how a process works, doesn't mean it does not exist. Not every single person in the universe needs to respect people in order to have a libertarian society. And not even the majority of people need to understand the theory, either. There are things which operate all the time which contribute to the workings of the market that no one sees. Yet they are indispensable. Reality is more than what you see.
whats your goal again?
To reduce harm in the world, and within that to create wealth and options for people and a plethora of interesting discussions. You've furthered my libertarian goal of reducing harm by continuing about peacefully and following your values, doing noncoercive actions.
i just cant help but think that MS-13 African Juntas have the same definition pf "respect" that you might...
perhaps libertarianism could work in a european society that maintains 85% demographic dominance...
dont see it working out in South Africa or New America...
You're on the right track. It doesn't even need that much doninance (of people who are totally 100% libertarians) for anarchy to work. But yes culture is the most important ingredient. The culture needs to be compatible with libertarianism, and provided there are options on the market, the anarchy becomes self-sustaining.
uh, ok...
whats it gonna take for this dream to shatter so we can get work preserving an actual society for the children because while you're conjuring utopias in your mind , the places wherein your preferred modality might have been possible are being invaded at a harrowing rate and we got little while girls being raped and gutted by said invaders...
in three years the major cities in america will be owned by MS-13...
wut then with libertarianism?
Libertarianism is NOT about imaginary societal ideals that can never be attained. It is about imaginary society ideals that have already been attained and can be applied to right here and right now. The ends ARE the means. I am not a Marxist utopian. I do not pretend that we need to convince some giant cohort of the population to have a revolution to seize control of the government, peacefully by voting or otherwise, to make liberty reign ad desgroy the state or let it "whither away." I am not a utopian.
The ends I describe are not some lofty goal. I practice it every fucking day. It is called be humble, be kind, don't be arrogant, have discussions, learn about reality, recognize your own error. When you start to believe that you can work toward a peaceful society by doing ANYTHING other than peaceful action, stopping to assess and understand stuff, or retribution to stop an aggressor, then you have become a utopian. A fool. A nincompoop.
