Libertarians’ motto — business deals can solve all problems.

It is only the matter of settling on the right price which will solve all human conflicts. Single-track individuals quite good in some narrow field of interest, but have the unfortunate tendency to apply it to every field as a panacea.

While I am Libretarian Leaning, I do understand the need of government in limited manners, like with Slavery the Government should be limited so it cannot enforce a contract of slavery.

There’s a saying: “War is a failure of trade.” And that’s generally true, but not always. Capitalism might eventually have fixed the problem (though not by purchasing individuals), but had I been living then, whether slave, or slave owner, soldier or priest or Quaker schoolmarm, I would not have wanted to wait. Without a war, who knows but that the slave owners would now be using slave labor for manufacturing widgets and Walmart merchandise, and tomorrow be providing human organs for harvest. Hmm...
