RE: Libertarianism 101
The whole thing makes perfect sense except for two problems: people are not always rational and do not always follow the pricipal of no force or fraud. The mutually consented exchange of goods can hurt people, and people can act in manners not in their self interest. Because of this, a poor class is created, who are weaker than all others. Because of this, the need for a government to step in is needed, if people do not wish for mass famine amongst the poor. People who use force and fraud, in a libertarian system, have no strong opposition. The government is needed here becuase they are a collective force of society to stop these problems. Without law enforcement, there surely would be much more murder, slavery, and theft.
