"whats called libertarian in the United States, which is a special U. S. phenomenon, it doesnt really exist anywhere else a little bit in England permits a very high level of authority and domination but in the hands of private power: so private power should be unleashed to do whatever it likes. The assumption is that by some kind of magic, concentrated private power will lead to a more free and just society...
just a call for some of the worst kinds of tyranny, namely unaccountable private tyranny."

Why America's obsession with libertarianism?!
While the conservative political movement has many brilliant thinkers, the Left has only one - Noam Chomsky. For this reason the article is worth reading. He is rather boring, though. Nim Chimsky I prefer.
