| richardhutnik said: Anarchy in this discussion is meant in a genuine political sense, of no government that uses force and coersion to maintain structure and law. It is not the usual meaning people have of, "Oh my guys, there is rioting in the streets, murder and people blowing up buildings". What is meant here by anarchy is what the AO symbol of Anarchy is said to mean, "From anarchy comes order". This order is bottom up, and represents self-organizing by society. Well back to the question at hand here, which I post, because I have seen a number of people on here have Libertarian leanings. To them, and others who might be able to answer is this: Are there any Libertarian arguments against Anarchy? Why wouldn't a Libertarian go one more step and say rather than minimum government, because government is bad, get rid of all government completely? If you are Libertarian, or know any Libertarian arguments against Anarchy, can you please explain why not to go all the way and become Anarchist? |
I call myself a Libertarian, but only because it's easier than saying "well, if you get an encyclopedia, look up the term 'minarchy', and that's more what I am than just straight Libertarian". It's just easier that way.
But I think "minarchist" is a technically more correct term for most people who use the umbrella word 'Libertarian' to describe themselves or others.
