I appreciate you calling out the need to read the classics. It was actually reading Plato's Republic that put the death nail in any attraction Libertarianism had for me.
My Hudson Valley WASP family was totally taken in by this slop. Reading the New York Times on the shitter in the morning for their daily instructions and the New Yorker during the weekends. Just pathetic. These nerds control us like no group has ever controlled another before in all of history, and I include the Helots. The Helots rebelled.
One of the very few examples of anarcho-capitalism that wasn't geographically isolated was Israel during the time of the Judges. Heinlein got a lot of his libertarian ideas from the Bible. Lots of Bible quotes in Starship Troopers.
As for non-Jewish libertarians who did things, where was Heinlein, Lysander Spooner, Rose Wilder Lane, and the Koch Brothers. Pretty much every libertarian organization in the 70sand 80s was Koch funded. Reason magazine was an exception, as they got kind of Nazi adjacent in the 80s, so the Kochs launched "inquiry" magazine.
The thing few libertarians own up to properly is that defense is a public good. Offense, on the other hand, can be for profit.
All imported foods we get from the US is garbage...processed chicken, potatos, sodas, cookies, crackers...burger patties, cheese, and on and on. Locals are so hooked on those enslopified foods.

Interesting topic. About the same when I was younger. Can’t stand libertarians anymore.

You're conflating libertarianism with neo-liberalism. Also, Dave Smith is a praggot, not a libertarian.
Looking forward to this one. Thanks Kulak.
Halfway through. Already better than hoped for.

Better late then never. But let me say: told you so back then, gal.
