What are the faults of libertarianism?

NO government on earth grants me my damm rights! I was given these rights from birth from God. He made and created me free and with free will.

neocomp, are you a religious libertarian?

I am not a religious.But i trust that all citizens have a duty to the country.Thousands of years traditional values teach us,individual is insignificant compare to country,if country at stake,everybody should give out all they own,even life.for the country,everybody must put down their private things,such as family,lover..etc

yea, i dont know how you would deal with neighbors in a lib society..

yea thanks alot for the recomendation, I will check it out.. right now im just reading the republic, communist manifesto and STM's Utopia lol.. but, what i ment was, if a country decides to attack this libertarian society, i dont think "voluntary taxes" would really cover the cost of the war.. and what about policing? everything else, like roads and transportation etc i understand, its the idea of "whos going to take care of national security" that gets me questioning this form of gov. and what about capitalism, isnt that all about "making more money"? how are they going to help the environment if everyone is competing for the gold? sorry for the questions but, yea, i guess these 2 things boggle my mind about this system. thanks

You would deal with your neighbors the same way that you deal with them now. Most people already deal with their neighbors on a Libertarian basis. For some reason, people seem to have a gap in their logic and don't realize that the same way we deal with people in our every day lives is the same way that we should want our government to deal with us. Check out the book Healing Our World in an Age of Aggression. It might just change your life. I'd like to see anyone make a case against Libertarianism after reading that book. I doubt anyone could.

like what? can you give an example?

i agree and would go further by arguing Bush baby has erroded the freedom of the world to such an extent in the name of security? that we can niether have freedom nor security ever again. From one with such controling ideas isd it too much to ask, if 9/11 had not happened, would bush have had to invent it?

Well he did always have the plan to attack Saddam Hussein's Iraq. So I wonder how he would have spun it into a 'legitimate' war if it 9/11 hadn't happened.

I can't vote for someone who prefers religious dogma to established scientific fact (evolution), so no Ron Paul vote from me. By the way, the quote is closer to "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither" and it was written by Ben Franklin.

hey, thanks alot for your input.. i also asked these questions to slapithigh and i want to see both your responses to it.. "but, what i ment was, if a country decides to attack this libertarian society, i dont think "voluntary taxes" would really cover the cost of the war.. and what about policing? everything else, like roads and transportation etc i understand, its the idea of "whos going to take care of national security" that gets me questioning this form of gov. and what about capitalism, isnt that all about "making more money"? how are they going to help the environment if everyone is competing for the gold? sorry for the questions but, yea, i guess these 2 things boggle my mind about this system." so yea, if you could help me understand these things, it would clear my views on libertarianism, thanks

That's always the problem people come across. "What about money" I hate money, myself. Humanity's dependance on something which is truly worthless...it's pathetic in my mind. But I can't choose how the world is so... Well, income tax doesn't pay for anything. There are other taxes which we do pay, and are alot easier to pay...which cover plenty. The problem is, our money in this country's being mismanaged. If we could manage that money, then we'd be in alot better shape. We do not need to pay for a million dollar toilet seat in the white house, okay? Secondly, this current war conflicts with lots of technicalities a few of which could send our current president to jail. Technically, it's illegal. More and more people believe its immoral. With the funds and resources our government already has, they should be able to easily defend this country without even being over there. They've dozens of even more less pleasant ast resorts they have. Our government's got both firepower and manpower. They can always bring up rather flattering campaigns to get more of both. There isn't a major problem here, other than them mismanaging their money. Oh..and the problem with our money's value slowly shrinking. We need to fix that too. But there is no reason that freedom should conflict with the subject of money. None at all. And personally, I don't think money's more important than freedom. Sure, right now it's necessary for our society to function...but unless I can have all my rights intact, and I'm a free girl..I don't care. Screw it. Maybe that's selfish, but that used to be how almost everyone used to think. It's part of why the world gave America respect. Because we were the most powerful, yet we cared more about freedom than anything else. It's sad, that some people want to lose that for good, that the country has lost that. Money's one of the simplest problems on our government's plate. If they focused less on their greed, and more on a solution they'd probably have solved it already. That's the only explanation to why things aren't fixed already. If they're as mighty as they claim..it should be no problem. But if that isn't the case, then why do they get angry when we claim otherwise? I don't get it.
