[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3479560, member: 63706"] Again, the issue becomes a lack of agreement, or understanding, between us as to what libertarianism is. Some people who call themselves libertarian are actually closer to anarchists, which I agree is an extreme that has historically proven to lead to despotism, which is a localized version of totalitarianism, which is an extreme I disagree with. Others think of libertarians as objectivists like Ayn Rand, whose views seem to favor the Robber Barons like Rockefeller and JP Morgan. The modern version of which would be corporatism. While I agree with some of Rands views, I don't agree that corporatism is healthy for society in general. Perhaps my own understanding of libertarianism is flawed, though from what I do understand about it, it seems to match most closely with my own views. If my own views don't match closely enough to what libertarianism actually is, then perhaps I'm not libertarian. Not a big fan of labels anyway. [/QUOTE]
