I’ve often felt Sen Rand was more like an Anarchist than a Libertarian.
A well-spoken Anarchist; an Anarchist, just the same.
Maybe anarcho-capitalist, which I have some sympathy for. The problem taking anarcho-capitalism to an extreme, we would disband all police forces, and everyone would hire private contractors to protect themselves. There IS a place for government, which I think even 1800s classical liberals who agree with.
