People are waking up to the ideology of Libertarianism

These past few months probably spread Libertarianism faster than any time in history. Whether we gain positive or negative attention does not matter because one day, people will realize there is no left-right paradigm in real life. Government is a quasi-monopoly on violence and force.

The notion that we "need" government to maintain order is absurd. Local villages survive with no government intervention, but rather elders that oversee people and ensure of their well-being peacefully, and free of fraud or coercion. 

Government IS a monopoly on force and coercion designed to protect you from force and coercion. Paradoxical, isn't it?

Libertarians come in many colors, from An-caps to Minarchists. I believe government serves no role in the economy other than the original roles the founders placed upon it: to provide for the common welfare (not food stamps!) and general defense. 

Every time a "terrorist" attack is placed upon the United States, remember that it was the government that put us in the situation in the first place. If you look at the reasons Al-Qaida attacks us, one of the big reasons is our occupation of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War. We tear families apart each day.

How would you feel if a country like China occupied the US, and every so often took a family out of their home, killed the father, and jailed the rest? And for every loyal American going to defend their country, the Chinese shut down? Then, for every person who died, 10 more joined the resistance? Flip that around, and you have the war on terror- an unwinnable war.
