What about Independents that don't follow any of those three fucked up parties...lame.
libertarians probably consider themselves independents, but they obviously follow an extremist/ideological script.
What's extremist about it?
they have a one-size-fits-all approach. from my experience, they think the world would be almost utopian if we removed government. it's as simple as that. then again, maybe i am conflating anarchism with libertarianism.
How about you discuss the content of libertarianism, rather than simply classifying it as "one size fits all" as if that's a disproof.
An anarchist argument is quite simple:
In every sphere of activity, giving some group the authority to take the money of another group and enforce their will on them will likely have bad consequences. I say "likely" because I'm open to the possibility that certain laws may do some good. However, I also recognize that the types of laws that a real government will provide aren't necessarily the good ones--in other words, there's no plausible way to construct a government such that it only does
good things.
Is that "one size fits all"? Sure, in some respects. But I can equally argue that a statist position imposes "one size fits all" rules on its citizens. So let's argue content, rather than exchanging stupid platitudes.
