    Bottom line: Non-libertarianism, carried to its conclusion, leads to chaos and anarchy.

    Every day I hear people insist others give them a job. That someone else find a way to make their efforts useful and that same someone then take care of all their needs.

    That's not slavery, which was a brutal and dehumanizing practice. But it seems most don't want freedom and the responsibility inherent in it either.

    Those are examples of Non-libertarianism carried to its conclusion.

    Those aren't libertarian countries, sorry.

    Those yet more examples of non-libertarianism carried to its conclusion: chaos and anarchy. There are not a lot of public social services or regulations in chaos and anarchy.

    What libertarian countries are you talking about?

    I don't know of any 100% libertarian countries, just as I don't know of any 100% crime-free countries. That doesn't mean that I give up on the idea that crime is wrong.

    However, I do know that Non-libertarianism, taken to its conclusion, results in chaos and anarchy.

    Everything taken to its conclusion results in chaos and anarchy. Can you show this is not true for libertarianism?

    If we accept your statement that everything, taken to it's conclusion, results in chaos and anarchy, then that makes libertarianism no different than anything else and nullifies the argument against it on those grounds. That objection could be leveled against libertarianism or anything else, so it's pretty much a vapid argument.

    You made the argument that everything, taken to it's conclusion, results in chaos. I didn't make that argument.

    Yes I did. I said that Non-libertarianism, taken to its conclusion, results in chaos and anarchy.

    I didn't say that EVERYTHING, taken to its conclusion, results in chaos and anarchy. That's what you said.

    Th only reason I keep saying that Non-Libertarianism ultimately leads to chaos and anarchy...

    ...is because Non-Libertarianism ultimately leads to chaos and anarchy.

    Most Non-libertarians seem unable to see that.

    There are no current libertarian countries.

    You may be referring to non-libertarian countries, taken to their conclusion: chaos and anarchy.

    Nope they are current libertarian countries that adopt virtually all of your platform. And when the country becomes more stable they immediately give up that platform

    Current libertarian states? Where?

    Which state has adopted the policy that any person may legally do anything with his body or property as long as it doesn't violate the body or property of anyone else without their permission?

    I'm unaware of any state that has adopted virtually all this platform.
