Libertardianism has no history. Well, other than Alex Jone$, a senile Ron Paul and cynical rednecks who wave Chinese made America flags at minorities and/or the poor.
Oh, she doesn't have to be. I, however, know very well your statements on the subject. Would you say that not believing in any state is an ideology of any sort? It really isn't. Political ideologies, at least the mainstream kind adopted by philosophers regardless of their leans, tend to have a response for different issues. Conservatives seem to want a government actively involved in dealing with criminals. Liberals want the government to stay out of their bedrooms, but deal with discrimination. Regardless of how they see it, they seem to understand that governments and states need to exist. What do libertarians like yourself want? NO GUB'MINT! NO STATE! That's hardly a response to any issue. It's intellectual laziness.
You're obviously an authority on the subject. Bravo.
Well then, please enlighten me all about the great whale that is Libertardianism. Give me insight into how churches are supposed to pay for outrageous medical bills. How about the Libertardian view on how the homeless are supposed to live with their elderly relatives who can barely afford to eat themselves. I know, what are the Libertardian means of getting to work on roads so badly battered due to wear and tear because they don't believe in paying taxes to fix them?
It's really just intellectually lazy to think the solution to lives problems is force. :shrug:
Notice, also, that southerners are not trying to fly the Confederate national flag, the Stars & Bars; nor is anyone calling the Sars & Bars a symbol of hate. In fact everyone's ignoring all the symbols of the Confederacy, focusing in only on this one temporary flag of a single army of a single state.That's pretty interesting and something I didn't know. I mean I knew it was a battle flag, I just didn't know it was from VA. Seems kind of weird that people would fight for their local government to raise a flag that their ancestors from the state didn't even fight under. I mean, I could understand if people from Virginia were making the argument, but now that I know that the flag is from VA, it seems kind of hollow for all of the non-VA folks to be making the claim too.
Lol, see what I mean? That's not a response to anything at all. It's basically fluff made to sound like you actually have a grasp of what we're discussing here. Political ideologies are about using states and governments for various reasons some of which demand force, others which don't. They all seem to understand that government plays a role in defending the rights of minorities or even majorities from oppression, slavery, etc. If not that, then the opposite but all seem to have an understanding that governments play some roles that simply can't be fulfilled by the individual. Your libertarianism simply says "Nope! Nada! Rien! Nothing!". That's not really a political ideology of any sort.
Saying that, you "don't like any states or government" is an ideology, is like saying that atheism is a religion. Not only will you not convince anybody with even a remote understanding of the words being used, it's just lazy. I mean who goes around saying "Man! Things would be so much greater if government wasn't around at all!"? It's either people who simply can't live within a structured environment, or people who have committed some act which led to the state using force on them.
I won't go into the second one because there is no way I could do it without violating quite a few DP rules. However, the first one is fair game. As I've told you before: If you don't enjoy living within a society structured in many ways through the use of states, and governments, there are quite a few stateless and lawless hellholes around the world to which you can buy a one way ticket to, and test your luck. However, even after all of that, your libertarianism still won't be an ideology of any sort. It will continue to be the intellectual laziness of a person who obviously can't live amongst other human beings but for some reason or another won't leave.
Remember that the US owes it's very existence to treason.Confederates can still fly their secessionist traitor flag of surrender wherever they want. It's just that the state is no longer endorsing it.

Strange.
Churches paying for medical bills??
The homeless living with their elderly relatives?
Roads badly batted due to wear and tear?
The only one there worth responding to is the last one. Roads in a libertarian society would not be under the control of the state.
Wow. Just...wow. You don't even know your own so-called party's rhetoric.
Anyway, in this comical "Libertardian society" under whose direction would the roads be under? Alex Jone$ supporters who buy junk vitamins and water filters?
And the history books claim the last days of Rome were scary.
That's great and all, but believing in a state is not necessary for something to be an ideology.
Party? I'm not a member of any party.
And the history books say we have more in common with Rome today than anything I support.
That's like saying atheism can be a religion even though there is nothing mystical/spiritual/religious about it. Lol, what you have is not a political ideology at all. Political ideologies deal with governance at every level. Simply saying that you don't want any kind of governance at all (you know, that's what states at all levels do) is not a political ideology of any sort.
Again, that's really nice and all, but it's wrong. Anarcho-capitalism or otherwise known as voluntaryism is a political ideology.
Voluntaryism = hipster speak for intellectual and physical laziness. Hardly qualifies as a political ideology. Just empty rhetoric spoken by disillusioned Rethuglicons who seriously believe in nonsense such as not paying taxes gives them some sort of political clout and power. Best of luck with that, Libertardian.
Lmao, you started off your amazing descent into complete intellectual obliteration by pointing out the contradictions of the very real ideology that is liberalism, and yet here you are espousing what is at best a train of though. A train of thought that is inherently contradictory based on even the slightest understanding of human nature and the chaos that would ensue within a system where people are subservient to the whims of private companies.
No, not really. I think anyone honest about it will recognize that classical liberalism unlike liberal socialism does not suffer from such contradictions of very basic principles. As for a liberal talking about human nature, well, yeah, no comment on that.
And yet, liberalism remains a valid ideology regardless of its various incarnations while whatever form of libertarianism you espouse simply remains a train of thought which is quite a few floors bellow an ideology but just defined enough to be considered "a philosophy". One which for some reason, the overwhelming majority of the world has moved away from.
Confederates can still fly their secessionist traitor flag of surrender wherever they want. It's just that the state is no longer endorsing it.
