It's like no-government libertarians can acknowledge (c), but their brains short-circuit and they go, "AND SO YOU WANT TO PUT SOME OF THESE MORONS IN CHARGE?!?! LOLOLOL"

Whereas a simple analysis (with a glance at history for confirmation) would show them that, alas, some form of government-like structure will inevitably arise. Unless everyone exercises perfect angelic restraint and adopts exactly the same NAP mindset and somehow never gets into tough disputes over contested resources. If not, then groups that employ violent means will crush those that don't, until what's left are a series of more or less well-defended kingdoms-slash-Mafias warily interacting, and from there to modern-day nation states is a path you can diagram in your head, or just pick up a history textbook.

Maybe if you paid a mentally ill man to read a history textbook on camera for a series of like 90 minute long Youtubes you could reach the "libertarian" community. Textbooks? You lost them at the "text" part.

In the end, when your arguments come down to name calling, insults and guilt by association, it's much easier for everyone to see what they're worth.

lol, i think anyone reading this thread not steeped in the religious doctrine of the deity of the free market can see I have been the one putting actual effort into making arguments and posting supporting links and quotes from researchers. While you and sdturner have just been regurgitating free market mythology that most of us have already heard a 1000 times. You even admitted you weren't really putting effort into the debate since you were just looking for the low hanging anti-authoritarian fruit to recruit, not unlike an internet version of those young mormon chaps going to door to door looking for "lost souls".
