Voluntarism is something you could look into as well.

True libertarians are hard to come by so we all kind of get lumped into one group of similar ish viewpoints.

...and you didn't highlight the last part, but it was still there.

In no way did Pierre address the topic, he just showed up to bitch, and you're busy white knighting for him when I dished it back. FOH



I generally consider myself a minarchist.

The thing about most of these philosophies is they end up resulting in a state that looks almost exactly like what we have now when you look at increasingly complicated systems.

No aggression.
But who decides whats aggression? Like what if I commit environmental terrorism by damming up a river to drive farms out of business then buy the farms for cheap and undam the river?
Well obviously that's aggression.
but who decides?
The community?
So the community would have a court?
Sure.
The community can't really vote for every single law, so they would need representatives to decide.
Okay.
and laws have to be enforced which needs taxes.

etc. etc.

You end up with a situation where once you get past like 1000 people it's just a normal country.

Don't we have only 2 self-identified libertarians in PaRD?

i didn't have to highlight the last part in order to point out the irony of your 'learn to read' line. you failed and now you're trying to move the goal post. pathetic.

FOH white knight

why are you always so mad, kid? you really think you can tell anyone what to do or where to go? has that ever actually worked for you, or is that just your way of venting after being embarrassed through your own fault? maybe think about this thread next time you want to tell someone to 'learn to read', lol.

I think you would be surprised at how many people would
#1 volunteer to investigate and prosecute child sex criminals
#2 If they don't volunteer I also think you would be surprised The amount of donations by the wealthy to fund courts which protect communities (but mostly themselves) from those with mal intent.
#3 Once your tax rate gets slashed to either %0 or single digits from 25%+ it's easy to have extra money left over to do things like donate to causes you believe in.

On a grand scale the only things a pro libertarian Government would handle are incredibly small compared to what our current government handles


Just a few examples of things that would get the snip:


Road building
Drug arrests and prosecution
Public works projects
Parking tickets
Traffic violations
A tremendous amount of military and military spending. (Again, non aggression not our job to be world police anymore)
likely 90% of the federal prison system (Again, mostly just murders, rapists and child abusers) and those prisons left would likely be private and for profit.

the list goes on, so No i'd disagree it's not necessitated that it becomes a society like the USA once it moves beyond 1000 people.

Why do you always paddle upstream in your douche canoe? I mean, you have a serious character defect, and it leeches into every interaction you have with virtually every regular on the forum. Don't go mistaking my utter disdain for you with being generally mad. The common denominator in all of your failed interactions with the people here is you.

imagine being so triggered over getting called out for a hypocritical personal attack that you have to engage in cringy kitchen sink psychology to distract from it, lol. if you had the slightest bit of sense or decency in you, you would admitted that was a bit of a fail, and laughed about it - but you're so incredibly insecure (fragile egos is the actual common denominator amongst my fans) and mad, that the reasonable solution probably didn't even occur to you until you read this. it's as pathetic as it is hilarious...
