Libertarianism is a joke.

It's the 21st century version of laissez-faire. Instead of the government raping our asses, it's the corporations. I'd rather have some form of regulation in capitalism than none. Notice how the areas that resembles libertarianism politics the most are the areas that are leeching federal money and relies heavily on manufacturing jobs. Way to take care of your population.

You keep on attacking libertarianism by endlessly repeating the usual socialist rhetoric about evil coorporations and the like and I am merely arguing the fact that libertarianism is nothing like the strawman of capitalism that Marx envisaged.

Statism isn't a strawman. There are plenty of political groups and politicians who believe they can make the world a better place using "significant state intervention in personal, social or economic matters", whiny emo kids who worship some unrealistic utopia they want to force apon everyone else included.

Note how the definition of statism does not include state intervention in justice. Libertarianism is about liberty, thus justice must be preserved. If an evil coorporation starts throwing orphans out into the snow so they can knock it down to build a polluting mercury processing plant, then under libertarianism they are given a fair trial, found guilty and go to prison. If anyone attempts to corrupt the justice system most likely they will be killed by one of the many libertarians who vow to start a war if anyone comes to take their guns. Fine fellows and dame they are.
