Libertarian Party, why do you FAIL?

[Ivory]

Libertarians are the party of "fuck you, I got mine". The more extreme they are, the more and more it becomes about rejecting the concept of a society all together. It is just laughably crazy.

Rejecting government is not the same as rejecting society at all and the only reason I can imagine you think they are equivalent is the Marxist brainwashing you must have received in what we call our educational system.

That being said, the problem with Libertarianism is that you have to have a society that is actually capable of it, i.e. one that is both sufficiently versed in Austrian economics to reject the temptation of more and more government at the voting booth and sufficiently altruistic to maintain a solid sense of community and (voluntary) charities and committees and so on. America actually checked these boxes for most of the 1800s I believe, but no longer.

Libertarianism involves rejecting government. When you conflate that with rejecting society, it means you are the one confusing the two.

Herpa derpa, apparently you think a society and country (let alone city or anything else) doesn't need any cooperative elements? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Just "everyone, do whatever you want".

We shall all live naked in the forests!! Singing songs with one another!!! Will be a glorious society!! Who needs roads or anything else which coming together and deciding stuff as a group brings?! Overrated!

Wait...you want to make it a rule no murdering? But....how and where will you decide such a thing? For if you do that....you have formed a government (a body to govern).

Herpa derpa derpa.

Libertarians are laughably naive :P Like I said, the party of "fuck you, I got mine" :P
