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?

The thing is most "evil coorporations" (which do exist, but are far and few between) are also dependant on goverment intervention to keep them afloat. Coorporations depend on the perceived benefits of collective ownership, if these benefits become non-existant as the coorporations are forced to compete on a fair basis then major shareholders will get angry and force them to split from downsizing companies so they can evacuate their capital without losing some of their shares in more succesful firms.

Also libertarians are just as keen to ensure justice abroad as democrats, even more so in fact due to their obsessive hatred of tyranny. Any foreign government that supports the exploitation of it's people will be branded a tyranny and lose public support.

It wouldn't take much for libertarians to connect the need to preserve justice with institutional morality and give penalties to governments that do not represent the people they rule.

The wild west was more of a naturally formed society in isolated communities. People embued with the american dream and liberty formed societies based around that and discoverred it's tangible qualities. The devastated paranoid hateful ex-confederates to the east on the other hand had an emotional basis to by-pass the logic of libertarianism and continue to terrorise freed slaves. Liberty would take another 100 years before it began to eliminate this hate, not a good record by any means but liberty was the only positive outcome possible. Many blacks moved from new orleans and became cowboys. They were paid low wages and worked 12 hours a day, which by our standards would have a liberal screaming his head off, but they were treated like any other cowboy.
