Skip to comments.Why Is Libertarianism Wrong?

Yep! I was wondering myself if this was one of those randomly generated essays. It makes no sense. I can't believe that we are actually wasting our time telling this guy its nonsense.
They have to do with the premises from which he is examining libertarianism.
For example, when he says that libertarians wish to force their ideology upon non-libertarians, that may make you stand up and cheer, until you realize that what he means is simply that libertarians are not willing to be forced at gunpoint to pay for the leftist social experiments his "non-libertarians" are intent upon.
You see? Taking his argument out of its socialistic context and putting it in one that is more familiar to you makes it evaporate and drift away on the wind. Because he believes that it is socially unjust when people attempt to maintain control over the fruits of their labor, he sees it as coercion against the people who would otherwise benefit from the redistribution of those fruits. But that view is only possible in that context. If you are a supporter of property rights, then you cannot argue that libertarians wish to coerce non-libertarians into anything.
Another example is his oft-repeated "bad truck" analogy. He's talking about a situation where market forces led to people not buying a poorly-designed and -built product, meaning that its manufacturer went out of business. He sees this as a bad thing, because of his socialist context. What that must unavoidably mean is that he believes that somehow people should have been coerced to buy this inferior product in order to keep its incompetent manufacturer in business. Is that what you believe? If not, then all the attacks he mounts with this "bad-truck" analogy similarly evaporate and float away.
That's what people on this thread mean when they say that this writer's prejudices invalidate his points. They mean that all his attacks on libertarianism are founded upon the premise that his socialism leads him to hold different objective standards of good and bad than most Americans would. That means that any defense of libertarianism aimed at this article would perforce turn into an attack on socialism: and probably most of the people on this thread already agree that socialism is bad. Therefore, such an argument is a pointless waste of time.
If you disagree with me, please pick out what you think is his absolute best criticism of libertarians, and I'll have it out with you, and you'll see what I mean.
As soon as you all(Libertarians) disagree with the ACLU.
Good news---you'll qualify, Mr DU disruptor.
Oh, come on! Even conservatives and honest leftists will tell you that there was nothing libertarian about the California "deregulation" of the electric companies. To even call it "deregulation" was a horribly Clintonian murdering of the word's definition.
Damn, and this is coming from a 21 year old; this joker is probably about 5 years my senior...
One central belief of libertarianism seems to be that consenting adults have a "right" to do whatever they want to do. Clearly, God doesn't give anyone a right to do something that is evil.
Whether or not specific immoral acts should be illegal is a matter or prudential judgement. Aquinas' principle in outlawing vice was pretty simple. Is the amount of vice reduced by criminalization greater than the amount of vice caused by criminalization (corruption)?
Seriously, most of the members I have met, whether in person or during the course of my centuries of internet dwelling, have been poor ambassadors for their organisation. I didn't say you were silly, pretentious and risible ... I said that of the organisation. I'd much rather hang out with the rednecks at the rifle range. (AB pulls his collar aside and checks: Yup! It's still red.) I've found that IQ (however defined) is a poor predictor of whether I will enjoy a person's company.
The author CHOOSES to use collectivist values, definitions and worldview in his misguided attempt to debunk Libertarian thought (both large and small 'L'). His whole arguement begins with the presumption that a ruling elite has the authority to direct the resources of society. In the end he concludes that libertarian ideals don't really get perfectly inplemented, and therefore ta-ta-rahhhh we need to have a government that micromanages everyone's lives.
He dismisses the issues discussed in voluminous writings by Classical Liberal authors such as Hayek, Friedman and Von Mises with a wave of his hand, calmly setting up straw-man arguments and briskly knocking them down without addressing the actual issues that have ben widely debated for hundreds of years.
I am hesitant to spend much effort to cite rank and file examples simply because I believe it would do no good. If you truly cared for such you'd read the Road to Serfdom, Capitalism and Freedom, or Human Action yourself and critique them accordingly.
Many here are frustrated with this article because they see the individual as owning themselves and as a consequence of that, owning the fruits of their labor. This is axiomatic to them. A large part of the frustration that we have with you is you are strolling in with an argument that a ruling elite can kill and destroy in order to buy themselves power and create a social picture that they find more pleasing. And that somehow to say otherwise is self contradictory because voluntary co-operation will result in a picture that someone else finds pleasing.
Don't flatter yourself. You "found his points" illumninating only because he attacked libertarianism, not because He had anything worthwhile to say.
You are perfectly happy to throw in with a Commmunist, because you are more concerned with being "anti-libertarian" than with the criminal ideological mental sickness of anyone who would excuse the crimes of the Christian-killing Communists... which now includes you.
You and your friends have yet to refute ANY of his points about Libertarians. You point to his political ideology and then mention other things he says unrelated to Libertarianism. What are you afraid of??
At this point, you might expect a definition of libertarianism. However, most definitions of libertarianism are written by libertarians themselves, and they are extremely propagandistic. "Libertarianism is freedom!' is a slogan, not a definition. Most other definitions of libertarianism borrow from those self-definitions, so I have avoided them. Instead, the values, claims, and effects listed below describe the reality of libertarianism.
By not defining Libertarianism by its self-professed creeds, the author herein arrogates to himself the privilege of defining Libertarianism however he sees fit.
But while he has a First Amendment Right to engage in this kind of deceitful sophistry, no CHRISTIAN can endorse this slanderous tactic. "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor".
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
values ~~ The values of libertarianism can not be rationally grounded. It is a system of belief, a 'worldview'. If you are a libertarian, then there is no point in reading any further. There is no attempt here to convert you: your belief is simply rejected. The rejection is comprehensive, meaning that all the starting points of libertarian argument (premises) are also rejected. There is no shared ground from which to conduct an argument.
Smear tactic. The fact of the matter is, I would submit that the author simply rejects libertarianism out-of-hand because he is afraid of having his logic savaged... I personally suspect that he has debated libertarians before, and knows he can't win.
So, if you can't win an argument... smear. But while he has a First Amendment Right to engage in this kind of deceitful sophistry, no CHRISTIAN can endorse this slanderous tactic. "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor".
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
The libertarian belief system includes the values listed in this section, which are affirmed by most libertarians. Certainly, no libertarian rejects them all...
HILARIOUSLY stupid statement of deceptive illogic (though I'm not surprised that you "found it illuminating"). Why, by including "Conservatives practice Sodomy" and "Conservatives breathe Air" in the same group of points, the author could likewise say, the sodomizing Conservative belief system includes the values listed in this section, which are affirmed by most Conservatives. "Certainly, no Conservative rejects them all..."
But while he has a First Amendment Right to engage in this kind of deceitful sophistry, no CHRISTIAN can endorse this slanderous tactic. "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor".
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
"process legitimises outcome" -- ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS must likewise believe that "Process legitimizes Outcome"; Christian Ethics are as rigidly deontological (that is, anti-Consequentialist) as any Libertarian's.
Non-Consequentialist Deontological Ethics (the above Communistic attack on which you find so illuminating) are fundamental to the Christian Faith. This Communist opposes Deontological Ethics.
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
revealing of order / perfection -- Also fundamental to Christian Ethics. Believing as we do that perfection is literally contained in Scripture, we believe that Presbyters and Magistrates who adhere to God's Law will thereby reveal the perfect purity of God's Law unto an imperfect world. "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it".
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
world of emergence -- The value attached to the outcome of process, is so central to libertarianism, that it defines the ideal libertarian world.... Inherently, it must then defend this world's existence. And if the absolute free-market had totally unexpected effects (such as a Bolshevik world government), then most libertarians would interfere with its workings, to reinstate their intended ideal world.
False. Libertarians would have no objection to the emergence of a Communal society, provided that it was a purely-voluntary Community... No Force, No Fruad.
Again, this mirrors Christian Ethics. In those areas where Christians have seen fit to establish certain holdings and economic activities in common, it has been a voluntary communalism: No Force, No Fraud.
Ergo, the Communist author of the above is just spitting lies.
This does not occur to Exnihilo, for he is far more Anti-Libertarian, then he is Christian in any possible sense of the term.
I could go on... and on... and on...
This entire piece is a pig-swill of vomitous illogic, which is ""illuminating" only to fools.
But when I am done, if you are STILL going to just stand there and drool, "but libertarianism is bad", and defend the Christianity-killing Lies of the blasphemous Social Gospel... why should I bother?
The point was that someone wrote an article whose basis is that one cannot both comprehend the article's definitions and libertarianism. Now, I'm supposed to read an article written by someone who thinks I'm Satan incarnate, with an open mind, and logically refute his "you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong" rantings.
(Truthfully, I do intend to read the article, but I am starting with as closed a mind as the author's. If I chose to refute any of his rant, you'll be the first to know.)
Sigh... see my #169. I decided to take the time to point that out.
Now, let's see whether or not "Exnihilo" is able to realize, for one fleeting second, "Oh, dear me, I've accidentally gone and posted a complete pile of Communist crap, which I mistakenly thought was 'illuminating'. Silly me.".
Why these rants against the libertarians today, somebody lose your welfare check?
Your hostility to American principles of governance is obvious.
Either that, or you are too dim to understand the consequences of your inchoate views.
I will hunt you down, and smoke you out, disruptor.
take my advice, don't provoke OWK, he'll take you to school and back.
Or is that 'disgust' of the article?
You continue to steadfastly ignore this post. Are you afraid to lay out any of your beliefs? Your behavior is approaching that of a disrupter, if you cannot add anything other than communist articles to this forum.
Fourth, and most important politically: the moral basis of social security payments should be redefined. Payment to the unemployed should be defined as compensation, for injustice and discrimination. In principle, an employer who refuses a job applicant, should compensate the applicant for loss of wages. The State can then take over this obligation, in the form of a fund for unemployment -open to anyone who has ever been refused a job.
True, this is a redefinition of the existing system. But it removes the pseudo-ethical claim, that the unemployed have an obligation to the employed. It is the other way round: those with jobs are guilty - guilty of competition for jobs. The free labour market is not a voluntary competition, like a marathon race. It is a race, created by the winners, to provide an opportunity to win. Any free market system is only morally acceptable, if participants can withdraw: and in reality they never can withdraw.
At this point, he reaches the level of obfuscation where even the individual words don't mean anything, or at least they don't mean what he thinks they mean. Thus, I am forced to throw up my hands and quit.
Indeed, that line appears to have been lifted from 'Babblefish', or some other computer generated gibberish site.
I was merely pointing out that you could not claim to be a Christian -- or a religiously-devout Jew, for that matter.
You could in no sense claim to be an adherent of any aspect of Mosaic Law whatsoever if you prefer the arguments of a Communist to those of Libertarians.
Now, if you are just a Totalitarian atheist... well, I did say that I felt that your sympathies lie with the Communists, didnt I?
"The values of libertarianism can not be rationally grounded."Is there a political philosophy whose values and/or premises can be rationally grounded?
Erm... no....
People keep telling me that I should.
I retail mutual funds for a living. (OP sheepishly turns head away from FR and gets back to work...)...
I thought you said you're against all redistribution of wealth. How can you agree with the table? By the way, when will you be adding to the forum instead of posting communist articles?
"The values of libertarianism can not be rationally grounded."
Is there a political philosophy whose values and/or premises can be rationally grounded?
The (welfare) nation state is in its dying stage, and you are lashing out, at the perceived threats you see for the state you are trying to 'conserve.'

Once the idea that rights(responsibility) are absolute---invioiable...
wouldn't the lack/abuse of responsibility/rights be criminal--tyranny?
I have said from the beginning...means--methodology--behavior--action--example is critical(determines results)---
. . . . ends/philosophy/ideology/words ultimately are drivel-irrelevant!
...the only argument left is the degree of enslavement.
...the only argument left is the degree of responsibility--reality--freedom(sobriety) vs. rhetoric(lies-bias-pretense)!
The "means(sincerity)" predetermine the ends(Truth-love)---
everything else is smoke--mirrors--hype--hypocrisy(slobovia--lower)!
You agree with his "image/reality" table?
The short bus is to your left. Be good.

Do you have some UK partners yet? all on the Certified partner list appear to be overseas companies.
As a blogger I wanted to seriously pursue the Google Adsense as a partner who can really be trusted.

I hope henceforth reasons will be furnished if and when sites are disapproved for adsense. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sense at all. Forget Adsense. ;-)
I guess this is why Google now has Certified Partners - maybe contact one of them and ask for assistance in getting set up?

you banned me for no reason .... on a corporate account in Google Apps that have not yet had never used Google AdSense just because with my "Webmaster Tools" i've been monitoring a site developed by me for the other person?? that politics is this?? MAFIOSI
Pourquoi désactivez vous les comptes adsense avant paiement ? Je vous ai envoyé plus de 6 mails sans réponses de votre part !
Is "Brand Rep" a certified partner? They misrepresented themselves as a salesman from Google and although I listened to the sales pitch I did not authorize anything but now have email saying Welcome new customer!! The email wants me to click on a link (will not).

Cautious approach taken by companies in recruitment owing to economic downturn is adversely affecting campus placements this year in major technical institutes in the state.
Faculties in-charge of placement and training in these institutions say there has been at least a 40 per cent drop in the number of B.Tech candidates being recruited by the companies that visited their campuses during the current academic session.
The campus placement at the state's oldest technical institute LD College of Engineering (LDCE) seems to be among the most pitiable. Against 900 candidates, a little over 200 have got placements so far. Many candidates are being advised to join smaller companies because of cap on recruitment by top companies.
The major recruiter in LDCE this year was Tata Consultancy Services, recruiting 74 candidates at an average annual package of Rs 3.16 lakh, followed by Cybage, which recruited 25 candidates with an average package of Rs 3.8 lakh. Public Sector Undertakings also recruited from LDCE.
The scene at the campus of Faculty of Technology and Engineering, M S University seems to be no better. "Out of 400 candidates, 160 have so far got placements ," said S N Soman, dean of the faculty while pointing to the economic slowdown for the poor response from recruiters.
The situation was not good at BVM College of Engineering at Vallabh Vidyanagar. According to its placement officer P M Aggarwal, only 110 candidate got placements till now against 250 placements done last year.
Similarly, out of 500 eligible candidates at Marwari College of Engineering in Rajkot, 230 got placements. However, they were offered low salaries from maximum of Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh per annum.
Some companies are also reported to have deferred the recruitment, waiting for the political changes after the 2014 general elections as they are not sure of the same policies continuing after the polls.

MANY MILITARY graves in Huntingdon Valley's Forest Hills Cemetery were insultingly without traditional American flags on Memorial Day, a day devoted to those who gave their all.
Playing out against the backdrop of the Veterans Administration scandal, it makes you wonder if Americans just give lip service to those who gave real service.
Until last year, Montgomery County commissioners supplied about 1,800 American flags to be placed on the graves of veterans at Forest Hills, according to Jimmy Kane. Last year the number of flags was cut to 600, says Kane, 65, quartermaster of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1711 in Jenkintown. He's the guy in charge of placing the flags on veterans' graves.

Spotted a "Prototype"
Spotted a "Prototype"
Pics or it didn't happen
I saw a black prototype at the Gilroy Superchargers about a month ago. It was a standard MS, but all the chrome was painted black. In talking to the Tesla employee, it was a one-off trying out ideas. I didn't get the impression it was something that was going to be offered.
There were a number of Tesla prototype vehicles at REFUEL 2013 this past Sunday. So many, in fact, they created a new "Tesla Employee" class... Though they didn't look any different to my untrained eye.
could be testing new batteries for 2016?
Yeah, what are all the possible things that could be "Proto" in a Model S? The bind moggles.
Did it drive itself? :)
Did it have sensors? When I picked up my car in Fremont early May, they were moving around some chassis that clearly had proximity sensors
Could the cars with proximity sensors been destined for EU?
@wimcoekaerts - Come to think of it, yes, some did have those ugly body color circles on the rear bumper. I sure hope Tesla can come up with something nicer looking for the final. Why do parking sensors have to be like that anyway?
@GeekEV: After reading this
it seems that ultrasonic parking sensors have to look like that, otherwise they just wouldn't work. That's why they all look the same (pretty ugly IMHO).
Conversely, electromagnetic parking sensors can be completely hidden behind a flat plastic bumper, but then they have other issues, e.g. they may not work well when it's raining heavily, according to some Amazon.com reviews.
Once I realized that the bumper was visible, I decided that I like the way the HD backup camera works (day or night). Adding guide lines to the display will make it even better. I just wish there was a second camera in front.
@Bob W - Yeah, I sincerely hope they're working on the guide lines. I've grown addicted to them on my Nissan LEAF. As for the famera (like frunk, but for a camera, get it?), I'd even go so far as to say it'd be really nice to have a full 360 view like a number of cars have these days.
Not 'framera'? ;p
I think I might print up a "PROTOTYPE" vinyl sticker, slap it on my car, and see what kind of reaction/questions I get. ;)

Dubai mall aquarium leaks on shoppers
- From: AFP
- February 26, 2010
SHOPPERS were quickly evacuated from Dubai's mega mall after water began gushing out of the shark-filled aquarium.
The perimeter of the aquarium, which holds sand tiger sharks and 40 smaller reef sharks, was cordoned off and shops around it closed.
Pictures: Inside the Burj Dubai Mall
Amateur video footage posted on the Web site of Dubai newspaper Gulf News showed what appeared to be hundreds of gallons of water showering down on the polished tiled floor of the Dubai Mall, which sits in the shadow of the world's tallest tower.
Dubai Mall, which contains a whopping 1200 stores, is the largest mall in the Middle East. It is located at the foot of Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world.

Andy Gold: Andy Gold lives in Utah and writes and tells damn good jokes. He does some other stuff, like hanging out in parks and bullying his roommate, but that's not important. The winner of the Salt Lake Comedy Festival, Andy has also been featured in festivals and competitions all over the country, including the Boston Comedy Festival, Ventura Comedy Festival, Rocky Mountain Laugh Off, and Idaho Laugh Fest. His damn good jokes have also appeared on Comedy Time TV, Hulu, and Nick Mom (which is impressive since Andy is definitely not a mom). A prolific writer, Andy's material runs the gamut from talking about being a recovering addict to working at his dad's produce stand, and it's all tied together by one thing, and one thing only: really big laughs. If you don't book Andy, he'll be ok, but your audience will lie awake at night, wondering if they could have enjoyed the show more and laughed harder. Don't do that to your audience.

Since then, he's popped the team's postseason bubble.
Crawford shot 1-for-15, committed a costly late turnover, and Northwestern lost to Minnesota 54-48 at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
"We're going to ride him whether he shoots 1-of-15 or 1-of-15," Tre Demps said.
With that, the same problems emerged in NU's third straight loss. The Wildcats (12-14, 5-8 Big Ten) failed to score from the 7:10 mark to the 0:15 mark of the second half. They also shot 30 percent to Minnesota's 46 percent, which counterbalanced the Gophers' 17 turnovers.
"Our offense is what it is," Chris Collins said. "That's who we've been the whole year. At times, it's looked really good. Your defense can only hold up so long."
This loss kills the Wildcats' NIT hopes. After a brief winning streak, and an upcoming three-game stretch against Nebraska, Michigan State and Minnesota, they were poised to make a run. Instead, they lost all three games, looking more like the NU team from nonconference play.
Much of their success obviously hinged on Crawford, who tore up the nation as NU raced to 5-5 in conference play. The senior went 4-of-13 against Nebraska, and in the next home game, followed with the worst game of his storied career.
"I've got to get him in positions where he can get fouled," Collins said. "Both Drew and Tre had no free-throw attempts. When it's not going, that's how you manufacture points."
Jershon Cobb was the only reliable offensive threat for NU, scoring 23 points—including a 5-of-7 clip from behind the arc. Alex Olah had 10 before leaving with an apparent ankle injury and Tre Demps added 9.
It was an especially disappointing loss for the Wildcats given that they played their best first half of the season. The ball movement was crisp, Sanjay Lumpkin held up defensively, and they entered the locker room leading 28-25.
Minnesota guard Deandre Mathieu gave his team a long-awaited offensive spark out of the break, though, scoring 10 points in the opening eight minutes of the second half.
But when both offenses stalled, it became a battle of attrition. Cobb went almost six minutes without shooting late in the game—shortly after picking up his fourth foul. ("I blame myself," Cobb said.) With Crawford and Demps (4-of-13) struggling, there were simply no other options.
The key play came with NU down 46-44. Alex Olah went down with an apparent ankle injury on the offensive end, and the officials refused to blow the play dead. Andre Hollins—injured in the teams' first matchup—hit a triple that put Minnesota up by five with 3:09 remaining.
Collins said his understanding of the rule is that the refs try to avoid keeping the opposing team from a breakaway. The head coach added that he "thought it was close."
"In a normal situation, you'd just take a foul," Collins said. "But we were over the limit."
With the score stuck at 49-44, Lumpkin missed two free throws and Kale Abrahamson fanned on a front end. That, finally, did them in.
"In a tight game, every little play matters," Collins said. "We missed some critical free throws, missed a couple of layups, and then, the play when Alex gets hurt, it's just an unlucky break."

Deron Williams will be matched up with Kyle Lowry in a tremendous head-to-head battle.Credit: Getty Images
The Nets tanked their way to the No. 6 seed over the course of the final few games of the season — resting all five starters on Wednesday night in a loss to Cleveland.
The result is a first-round matchup with No. 3 seed Toronto — the last team the Nets beat in a playoff series back in 2007.
The Raptors were a surprise top-4 seed, especially after dealing leading scorer Rudy Gay midway through the season. But they've been led by the tremendous play of guard Kyle Lowry and forward DeMar DeRozen. And while they may not have the playoff pedigree of the Bulls — who the Nets avoided by dropping to sixth — they will still be a tough matchup.
The two teams split a four-game series during the regular season. The Nets won on the road Nov. 26, lost Jan. 11 at Toronto and Jan. 27 in Brooklyn and closed out the series with a March 10 win at home.
Nets-Raptors schedule ...
Game 1: Saturday, April 19 — Brooklyn at Toronto, 12:30 p.m., YES Network/ESPNGame 2: Tuesday, April 22 — Brooklyn at Toronto, 8 p.m, YES Network/NBA TVGame 3: Friday, April 25 — Toronto at Brooklyn, 7 p.m., ESPN2Game 4: Sunday, April 27 — Toronto at Brooklyn, 7 p.m., YES Network/TNTGame 5*: Wednesday, April 30 — Brooklyn at Toronto, TBD, TBDGame 6*: Friday, May 2 — Toronto at Brooklyn, TBD, TBDGame 7*: Sunday, May 4 — Brooklyn at Toronto, TBD, TBD

Hurricane Katrina, a category 5 tropical storm with wind speeds near its centre exceeding 170mph, struck the coast of Louisiana at 6.10 am on August 29th 2005 causing massage damage to buildings in the area of Gulfport, Biloxi and New Orleans.
