No waiting for the library or having to read a book the filthy poors have touched - I’m buying a pristine new copy! (I keep favorite books and series to foist on my friends, sort of a lending library.)

Or you know because the only people who would invade are the same colonial powers who you can’t outspend in the first place.

I have already pre-ordered it. I used to get a lot of books from the library, but unfortunately my current schedule has me working the entire time it is open.

One person’s utopia is another’s idea of hell, and this sounds like my idea of hell.

“Libertarian community” is pretty much a contradiction of terms.

These days I mostly download ebooks from the library—any time 24/7 and if I run out of reading material in, say, Nunavut I can browse the Toronto Public Library.
In this particular case, though, I love using the library because the whole concept of a public library is anathema to these idiot techbros.

It’s at least a century older than the fucked up American version of libertarianism, but the American libertarians decided to take the word “because nobody else was using it” (not true, and I don’t think that would apply to their idea of property rights, for some reason).
It also points out why the American libertarians are doomed to failure, they couldn’t have a functioning community if their lives depended on it.

There have been a few others, like the Free Territories in Ukraine and the Korean Peoples Association in Manchura.
Current libertarian socialist areas are FEJUVE in Bolivia, AANES in Syria and the Zapatista Municipalities in Mexico, although not all of them will call themselves libertarian socialist (mostly because they see it as a label coming from outside the movement).
