He thinks that having private corporations run every highway would be cheaper and wouldn’t lead to a million petty and warring tyrannies.
You think that highway patrol quotas and tolls are bad now…

Libertarians say that when a house burns because the owner didn’t pay a private fire extinguishing company it smells like freedom.

And when their house burns down because they didn’t have fire insurance, it smells like a lawsuit against the fire extinguishing company.
And when their house burns down because their neighbour didn’t have fire insurance, it smells like a lawsuit against both the neighbour and the fire extinguishing company.

in that case it’s lucky there’s a government to provide a legal basis for those lawsuits, courts to hear them, and a means of enforcement.

What’s better is mandatory binding arbitration where the corporation employs the arbitrator versus BEGGING THE STATE AND THE MEN WITH GUNS for the privilege of an honest court.

when private individuals get together to pay for roads, education, police, firemen
Will every single one of those individuals contribute anarchically to this endeavor, or will they nominate a few people to do it in their stead?

And wasn’t “the rich people back in England have all the say because they have all of the money” one of the reasons for the American Revolution?
Well, yeah - and they went in to form an (ugh) government - so that ought to show you how deluded they were in their thinking.

It’s true that Libertarianism is most popular in the US. The ideology appeals to some Americans emotionally since it appeals to the myth of rugged individualism that shaped the American psyche. But it’s really peculiar since the central tenets of every school of the ideology are directly contradictory to both the Constitution and traditional American ideals of governance and economics. Amusingly, in economics, the “American School” which represents traditional American principles of economics is exactly what they most despise (mostly due to being unwitting dupes). They’re also unwitting dupes who are opposed to traditional American models of governance, and ideals of rights, jurisprudence, theories of justice, etc. I think it may be the cognitive dissonance of holding to so many fundamentally anti-American principles that makes them try to pretend they’re strict Constitutionalists.
