He's also good friends with another dubious "freedom" outfit: the Liberty Radio Network (who have a history of making bizarre mistakes during "liberty" activism, e.g. recently they were excommunicated from a local "liberty" organisation for advocating sex with children)


That's quite a charge. He needs to respond to it.

Entirely true, search "Ian Freeman Free State Project pedophile" and then search "Roger Ver Ian Freeman Free Talk Live", and the evidence will be nice and high in the results.

I'm generally skeptical of Randian libertards, as I have yet to meet one who would actually want to live in the world they argue for. Recently I challenged my local neighborhood libertard in a thought experiment. Since he always says "private property is the foundation of wealth and modern capitalism", I told him that logically he would favor a world where EVERYWHERE is private property. He bit this hook, and hilarity ensued...

I quite like the philosophy, they're essentially coming at political philosophy from the right angle, even if it's extreme to the point of fetishism. It sometimes goes totally bonkers though, like suggesting that babies owe their mothers rent for time spent in the womb, and I'm not entirely convinced that concurrently competing governance within a given area wouldn't end up with a similar outcome to today, but with all the death and theft just meted out in several different ways. But when you consider the escalating trend of technology replacing so much human involvement and decision making (gubermint jobs inclusive), waning government influence seems a natural by-product anyhow. Reality isn't going to take much convincing if it turns out we don't really need these bureaucrats, it will simply happen naturally.
