Name calling. You cannot refute the facts and issues I have raised. Issues which expose the weakness of your Libertarian religion. You cover your insecurity with name calling because you cannot respond to and refute the issues I have raised. You lose the contest of ideas by failing to even engage with the ideas resented to you.

You again resort to crude troll response rather than responding to the actual issues raised.

statist
Is that what you are referring to? Always cracks me up when people consider this a slur. You say we need a state but don't like statist?
Then you call Libertarianism a religion. I assume you mean that as an insult.

without the protection of the state you would be in a sorry state yourself. Have you ever lived where the state is truly failed? Go to Somalia or Afghanistan and see how you like it.

The state in Somalia and Afghanistan has not failed. What has failed is the population. The state cannot be bigger in those countries, controlling everything including free speech, religion, and property.

Wrong. You clearly do not understand the system in those countries as they do not have a strong central government- governance is largely managed by district. This is what naturally happens when the central government fails- the role of governance devolves to regional level. Governance is a natural and unavoidable function of ANY organised group of humans.

Switzerland has cantons and is subdivided into small regions and has virtually no central government. Furthermore, the state is smaller than the rest of the countries, which is why they are better off.

Excellent example and yes I agree that is an amazing system- however is it only able to exist because Switzerland has for centuries been the designated neutral 'vault' for Europes warring nations?
It seems like Switzerlands unique and beautiful system is perhaps only viable because they have acted in that role of agreed neutral 'store of value'.
Switzerland is the exception that proves the rule...because Switzeraland has avoided the need to compete militarily with its neighbours, that has saved huge centralised investment and thereby enabled considerable private wealth and freedoms not ordinarily possible in most nation states.
