Everyone doesn’t have to get on board. Libertarian philosophy, in general, is rather easy to understand. I would pare it down to two basic ideas.
- Everyone owns their body
- The initiation of force is unethical
From these uncontroversial ideas one can extrapolate further ethical rules. This is seemingly what many people fail to understand. People who follow the libertarian philosophy need to discuss first principles more often.
Additionally, what many libertarians want, IMO, is for people to a the very least own what they advocate. If the means are unethical admit it for Odin’s sake.
This may be true. Of course it could be false or somewhere in between. Each situation will be different. My question is this: why would a libertarian society, where power is distributed, be more susceptible to the aims of bad actors then a large central government where a monopoly on power has already been created?
