A more nuanced completely insane view is that Somalia has been awesome-ized by Anarchism, not Libertarianism. http://www.reason.com/blog/show/11751... Fair 'nuff, but as far as we can tell the difference between a Libertarian and an Anarchist usually seems to be a bachelor's degree.
So, it's fun to see folks like Glenn Beck eagerly veering into freaky yee-hah populist Libertarian zone. Go for it, guys. That's rebuilding the ol' brand.

A couple notes on music:
1. The music used in this video isn't Somali, or even close to it. It was, however, free to use. Gotta like that.
2. It's easy to hate on Ted Nugent for participating in Fox News Tea Party promotions, but in all sincerity: "Wango Tango" is a badass song, and it's hard to argue with his solo on "Stranglehold." Ted, we'll still gladly pay to see you at whatever State Fair you're playing next.

The US/UN has been arming warlords there for years. This is a major source of violence. Also, Somalia has a very unusual/unique culture and was anarchic prior to western intervention (clan system). And ... you might want to compare it to its neighbor, Ethiopia, which has a government. It is by many measures suckier than Somalia. I could go on for many pages... This video is ridiculous propaganda. It also is a prime example of post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy. Sad how dumb people are.
how is somalia where there are is no respect for individuality an example of libertarianism? this has got to be one of the most dishonest propaganda pieces i have ever seen! and when the hell did glenn beck beck become a libertarian? THIS IS BULLSHIT!
@liberalcomrade re: this has got to be one of the most dishonest propaganda pieces i have ever seen!
I am so grateful that you pointed this out to me. I feel so stupid... I thought this was a joke, like some kind of hyperbolic statement poking fun at a distinct viewpoint. Apparently, I just didn't get it.
Next they'll be saying things like people with devout libertarian sentiments have no sense of humor. THOSE BASTARDS!
@ tramp, try to understand that libertarianism is not just an economic philosophy but a social one as well. we absolutely do NOT promote anarchy, ever heard of the rule of law? thats what we believe, not the whims of some inbred monarch or a crazed mob as most do.
