Zuckerberg going Libertarian?

[ZenMode]

How does libertarianism propose to run the country at all? You still haven't (that I have seen) proposed a way to balance the rights of one group against the rights of others because there is ALWAYS a conflict.

You say "you have the right to live your life as you see fit as long as that doesn't infringe on my rights" but plenty of people see it as their right to dictate how others live their life. How does one balance that without infringement on what one group sees as their rights?

Give me an example....

I suggest Zen read altoheel’s comment detailing the New Hampshire town’s utopian libertarian experiment. Read the article as well Zen.

Now imagine a country as large as the U.S. trying that idiocy.

There is a reason why dozens and dozens of Democracies around the globe - of all stripes - have not engaged with the libertarian mindset as a primary source of government, or lack thereof.

There also a reason the other main third party we have here out performs the libertarian party in elections. Doesn’t the Green Party actually get a higher % of votes, small as it is?

It originated in the mid 1800’s as a left-wing anti authoritarian movement.
The right-wing has taken it over in the U.S.

Libertarian capitalism would be a nightmare.

Give me an example....

Ralph sees it as his right to carry firearms on his person at all times yet those in public are threatened and fearful of him doing so, particularly in situations involving large crowds, etc.

Yeah, it’s “generally pretty basic” because it’s a bunk ideology that was invented by right-wing economists to convince rubes like you that you’re supporting freedom by letting billionaires and corporations run our country.

...and giving them a bong hit to make it all go down nice and easy. Plus Doritos and Classic Rock!!!!
