America in 1830 is precisely what you would call Libertarian, and yet the people were tremendously civic minded and constantly forming associations where each citizen would work voluntarily to further the public good.

Also had child labor and no worker safety laws and slavery....

more marxist idiocy

You claimed that without society without government is impossible. That without the beneficent hand of government hovering over us we would be unable to form any sort of collective action and would be reduced to living in trees murdering each other.

I proved you wrong by counterexample.

That will be all.

Fun fact....did you know you can have different forms of government? -gasp gasp-

Including large councils made up of populations!!! In small groups it works, but fitting 300 million peple into a room is hard.

Dat is why we elect representatives to go into a room instade herpa derpa. So we can use smallar ruumes.

Totes. Really, if you think about it, modern day is way worse than 1830.... things were so much simpler back then!!! I mean, I watched little house on the prairie and everyone seemed really happy!!! I get my view of history from TV too.
