The author does not understand the very broad realm of libertarians.

But he does have a forest of straw men to tear apart.

I’m looking down his list and I’m okay with . . . .

# Discuss unconstitutional excessive taxes
# Emphasize natural law
# Explain why inflated government is anti-people

But then he throws in . . . .

# Fight for Social Justice

And he lost me. I’ve never heard libertarians talking about social justice as a goal. They do talk about social injustice perpetuated by those in power but so do we.

I think he conflates anarchists with libertarians.

I’m re-reading the post.

“Without laws, mankind disintegrates. “

Well no duh.

He does conflate anarchists with libertarians. For the record, I’m not Libertarian but I would rather err on the side of too little government rather than too much.
