Lest we be accused of misrepresenting their views, actual Libertarians have been kicking around this take on Somalia with a straight face for some time now. No shit: http://mises.org/story/2066

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.

As a libertarian myself, this video is pretty funny. I enjoyed the made up bullshit.

Proof that the government does everything wrong:

Somalia (pre 1991 totalitarian communist state which was worst in world now it is like 15th worst), Eritrea, North Korea, Russia, France (bankruptcy/eminent market collapse), Greece, Spain, Almost all of Africa, Sri Lanka, and Phillipenes.

Proof That the Unregulated Free Market with only private property rights and no welfare Does EVERYTHING right:

Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Switzerland, and Sweden (pre 1980s).

>> Its like the government making it mandatory for you to buy water but you get to choose where to buy it from, and the government wont give you any money for the water either.

>> The money is handled privately, the government makes sure you spend it on certain things.

The bottom 1% are usually given free service by private insurances I was actually wrong about that, nobody gets free service in singapore from the government.

Singapore is a 10% tax, no welfare, laissez faire free market..

"None of it is socialized. It is all based on compulsory savings and spending"

~How can something be central planned, and not central planned? Who collects the money? Who gives free services to the bottom 1% and who do they pay back with income mobilization? Sounds like it would be central planners... it doesn't sound private like you have a choice (since it is compulsory). What happens if you don't do what they say? Sounds like socialism/management of the economy/central planning to me...

For those who care about things like facts concerning Somalia...

Semantics much? Germany and Singapore have mandatory government healthcare. Yes, the Germans are technically multi-payer, with private sick funds, but even France and Italy have similar things.

I can't claim to be very familiar with Singapore, but fortunately wikipedia exists. Because now I can educate you, by saying Singapore has universal coverage mandated by the ministry of health.

I know you mentioned the no free care thing, but that is a fail-safe to make sure no exploits the system.

[Bruce Wayne]

> Reality check: Neither germany, singapore are single payer.

> You lost already by saying they were.

> All three adhere to mandatory savings out of your paycheck so you put a certain amount to social security and for medical insurance, the medical insurances and healthcare systems in all of these nations are privatized (germany, swiss etc. none of it has government clinics).

Now its obvious you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. France is single payer, NHS is. Nobody else is.

[poopisnotpoop]

You mean when I win the argument?

The most effective and cheapest healthcare is national, public, single payer. That is true in East Asia and Europe.

America is run by multinational corporations, so it's a lot harder to get done because it means health insurance will actually be force to compete instead of rigging the system.

[Bruce Wayne]

So when you lose your argument, you dodge the point and now switch to rhetorics?

Are you leftists designed to ignore facts and respond with moralfag bullshit like this?

[poopisnotpoop]

No has to be forced to have healthcare.

The reason why libertarians will never understand how the real world works is because they somehow have the idea that there are people who "chose" to not have human rights.

No, they are forced to not have them because of oppression from rulers. Rulers who are multinational corporations in the "industrialized world", just as they are warlords and dictators in the "third world"
