An Edifying Anarchist Essay

Ricardo sends shares this link:
Similarly, a freed society and freed market don’t guarantee that nothing bad would ever occur. Non-libertarians often ask libertarians what would happen with neglected and abused children or mistreated animals—the list of possible abhorrent acts is endless. Our interlocutors are unfazed by the fact that all societies have such problems, even those with the most activist governments. It’s always possible for unfortunate people to fall into the cracks, so it is no blemish on the libertarian philosophy that it can’t offer an ironclad guarantee against such things. All it can assure is that wrongdoing won’t be paid for by taxpayers (because no one will be a taxpayer). We anarchists can also assure that, for obvious reasons, no abuse will be committed by government officials.
Sounds like me I am told, and Reason magazine is fairly mainstream.  Good tos ee ideas making it forward.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
