I was agree to some degree with the original video. Libertarians believe there is a need for at least SOME government, while anarchists want none. Because of this, the nature of the debate is different and focus. A major reason for this, is to try to debate whether or not there is a need for any government gets to be pretty lengthy and has more fundamental issues. And here, it doesn't relate to whether or not Libertarians and Conservatives are the same thing. That is why I had been trying to position away. I would say, it is worth discussing, but please start it in another thread. I definitely would like to see a Libertarian debate an Anarchist, which would put the Libertarian in the big government role in comparison. |
The key breach seems to be property. Libertarians believe in private property (whereby any person can own as much property as they can legally obtain), while anarchists believe only in personal property (what you need for your daily life is yours and no more). Anarchists absolutely reject the concept of rents, while libertarians think that rent can be a thing. However, there needs to be a state aparatus to enforce private property contracts, whereas we can see in medieval anarcho-syndicalism that a state apparatus is not needed in, say, a small farmer community where the farmers have their land, their crops, and their tools, and deal them directly to the tradesmen who may make or maintain tools, etc. In a world where you use only what you need, there's no need to have an aparatus to "enforce" the system, only to stop outright theft, which could be enforced through individual and communal action, whereas how could a landlord enforce the rent in an apartment complex without, ultimately, the police to be able to come by and chuck out deadbeat tenants at the end of the day?
