First, let me just say that I do not officially affiliate myself with the Libertarian Party, but I do agree with Libertarianism as a political philosophy, and with many of its tenets, and central ideas about deregulation, smaller Government, a strict adherence to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers of this Country, and individual, as well as proprietorial rights. 

 

Prudence tells me that the reason why this project failed was not due to a Libertarian system, but because of the egos and schemes that were involved. Nothing at all to do with Conservatism, Libertarianism, Socialism, and Capitalism. Just good ol' fashioned Human greed and selfishness.

 

 

People who try to compare Anarchism with Libertarianism, remind me of an episode of South Park where Trey Parker and Matt Stone made fun of people trying to compare Goth culture to that of Emo and Vampire subcultures. Anarchists would hate a Libertarian system because of its stricter sense of both moral and legal law, as well as upholding the established role of Government. While Libertarians would hate an Anarchist system because of its absence of a civil authority to at least carry out civil law and order, and deal with disputes. Anarchists and Libertarians were on opposing sides when it came to the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011-2012.

 

 

The funny thing is though, is that if people actually studied US History from a non-biased, non-partisan perspective, and what the Founding Fathers were actually like, and what they each believed in, and what the Constitution really says word for word, almost everyone would come out of it saying that they are Libertarians.
