@jackbenway He breaks the general stuff down in a way that is more compelling that almost any other figure associated with libertarianism in my opinion.
-
Friedman calls it like he sees it.
-
Why do you continue to use Friedman as a spokesperson, when his insistence on monetarist policies undermine his credibility?

those are new words that represent the same sort of govt ... Their nobles are our elites, etc., etc., etc. ... Its all the same essence of oppression and control via laws and claims on resources- water, food, shelter, etc. The difference is our tech allows the elites much greater control and oppression.

@TimeWarp66 That wouldn't be a concern IMO, spontaneous order will allow cooperation on intersections. It's not like the governing forces of road A will require you to drive on the left side and vice versa for B. the only thing that may change is speedlimites realistically. That's a none issue.
It's not too late. It's easy to be pessimistic, but a quick look at the past few years shows that more and more people are coming around to libertarian ideas, and if not supporting people like Ron Paul, then at least leaning toward his position.
Changing people's minds is very difficult, as there is alot of misinformation and deception regarding capitalism and government alike, but it can be done. It's a constant struggle however, and we will have to struggle on to preserve and promote freedom.

@bweazel Private roads existed before the State nationalized them or made them unprofitable by private property rights violation. Private roads exist even today.
I believe that use of violence or coercion is only allowed in self-defence, that is when defending property rights. You're putting the cart before the horse - taxes were first, not State "services."
