libertarians are extremely naive (hell, they make Utopian Socialist seem practical)
Posted: 2015/02/03 by Punkonomics (@dearbalak) in Links/Articles/Videohaha. But it IS true in that libertarians are extremely naive. In 1 sentence: you would need to have initial conditions of perfect equality for libertarianism to deliver the utopia it promises… and even then it cannot work as power, even if gained competitively, will generate monopolies and corruption if left unchecked. To be taken seriously, libertarians need to focus on how they would run the government in detail (like syndico-anarchist have attempted to do for a century).
