Arrogance in dealing with lesser mortals, yes. But also, both Liberals and Libertarians seem to think that human nature, in it's raw form, is benevolent. Human nature is flawed. All of society will suffer unless some control is exerted over certain damaging behaviors.

Coercion is not something I like, but a world with no coercion would be an ugly world. "Do as thou wilt" sounds appealing to some but it's a recipe for disaster.

[Publius Valerius]

All of society will suffer unless some control is exerted over certain damaging behaviors.

We (libertarians) don't disagree with this. We support laws that prevent people from taking coercive or forcible action against others.
