Libertarians Part DEUX

Name: Anonymous 2007-01-29 17:18

I would like to pose a question: In a truly libertarian society, would it be legal for parents to leave their baby on a sidewalk because they don't feel like taking care of the baby?

Yes, cause the baby has no money and therefore no rights in the libertarian system.

Libertarianism doesn't work, it's fucking stupid, in a pure Libertarian society, the logical conclusion is one where EVERYTHING is turned into a commercial commodity from life to the quality of air and that's perfectly fine for people with money but for those who don't have it (the aforementioned baby) are reduced to wage slavery or being raped.

There's always a need for government and basic human fucking empathy in dealing with certain matters where services and utilities should be run without concern for profits (libraries, health care, emergency agencies) so that people without money are not denied basic human rights. The world pure libertarians imagine is one where people have to pay to use a road someone has built or you can sue people for the noise or pollution their car makes.

'Libertarians' (i.e. ones who think that being libertarian makes them fit outside the 'liberal-conservative' false dichotomy and don't even know what the fuck their proposing)  have try to compartmentalize this into anarcho-capitalism but most libertarians (notice lack of inverted commas, these are true economists and capitalists, not some teenager who has just read Ayn Rand is acting like an asshole to everyone) really desire such a system, 'libertarians' want some kind of middle-of-the-road system still realizing the need for regulation because it's fucking obviously needed and the lack of it is causing major problems (pollution, corruption and government influence, human rights abuses by transnational corporations (in third-world countries so we'll never hear about them (because what if a parent company owns both the abusing company and the 'watchdog' media); hence people can't 'vote with my wallet' like libertarians suggest they should)).

I fucking hate libertarians... still I wish drugs were legal and regulated (yes because we need an FDA-style institution for standard pharmaceuticals) and there was less government intervention in personal matters (two people should be allowed to get married regardless of what a government says and they should be able to choose to end their terminal suffering through euthanasia), but most 'libertarians' don't care about that... they just care about guns and being able to pollute forthwith; fuck the environment and hooray for profits!
