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...

So you stumped him with the old "BUT ZOMG WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS?" canard?

Rand got a lot more right than she got wrong.  And I love how she is still able to give Marxists painful allergic reactions, causing them to wail upon contact with Objectivism.

Would you want to live in a world where EVERYTHING is public property?

Sorry to kick off the Randian debate again, but I'll bite.

I suppose a world where everything was public property would be a world with no governance, borders, or nation-states? Well then, maybe! See what I did there?  You were going for the Marxist gulag argument, admit it.

I didn't mention anything about roads to the Rand-troll. All I asked him was "How will you travel anywhere, when you'll need permission to cross thousands of individual jurisdictions?"
