Right libertarianism is based on a negative view of freedom, as presented in this video. That rejection of self-ownership implies that someone else has ownership over you is a false dichotomy, and uses fallacious reasoning. This view, of freedom in the negative, fails to view the world as interconnected, and people as interdependent, which they are. There is an alternative: Positive freedom: "Having the power and resources to fulfill one's own potential." Google 'Libertarian Socialism.'

Not quite true. It is possible to claim that only God has a higher claim over a person than that person does over himself. God's personhood is debatable, or whether the term "person" even applies to one such as him.

Many people mistakenly use the phrases "capitalism" and "free market" interchangeably.
Capitalism incorporates state interference in the market to create and maintain monopolies that could not occur in a true free market.
Intellectual property, royalties, taxes, zoning, licensing, coding, and permits are such things that are make a market NOT FREE.
Capitalism="privatization" (government enforced monopoly)=tyranny
Ron Paul all the way......!
