How do libertarians deal with the fact that civilization and government are synonymous and don't really exist without the other? Like I can see how this might work if we were a group of hunter gatherers with little tangible property and abundant resources but there really doesn't seem to be a concrete way to deal with basic problems in libertopia.

Caros posted:Hey Xylo, any chance of a funny mod challenge for Jrod? Create a DRO thread that decides the fate of Jrod for abandoning his thread. Allow posters to form blocs appealing for his subscription. Jrod must choose one or be subject to mob justice. His chosen DRO will then mete out justice according to the terms of the publicly posted contract.

DrProsek posted:Socrates16 had better come back and explain what his libertarian society would look like, because right now if he agrees 100% with Jrod, then he should probably stop using words like statist negatively because he totally is one. If anything a DRO-state is actually way more authoritarian and prone to abuse than what we have today. Like many bottom-feeder libertarians, Socrates16 seems to have digested the petulant rhetoric but passed over the critical application. I wouldn't count on it.

JawnV6 posted:The framing of corporations existing at the behest of the state is so odd. Like hundreds of thousands of people in a single hierarchy doesn't have inertia, if a document in Delaware gets shredded it all dissipates overnight. It's really convenient rhetorically though, because the state exists and pervades every aspect of our lives so you can blame anything and everything on the state. 'State' is to libertarians as 'Obama' is to teabaggers.

Need to break out the emergency libertarians to yell at before this thread consumes itself.
