    And the knowledge of rights is a prerequisite to having a Libertarian society? You can't be Libertarian by accident, in that you do not believe in rights, or are aware of rights, but you do not infringe upon others?

    • no, Libertarian is first and foremost a pov on the world, and on society.

          pov-point of view. and if animals had rights, they'd certainly infringe each other rights, all the time. But this is silly, really. there are no natural rights. There is society and the there are the best ways to govern it to the benefit of all of it's humans, those best ways vary in different sircumstances.

          I am not a utilitarian as well, I am a quasi-utilitarian humanist. that is, I care only about the success of the human race and the happiness of humans. utilitarians care about animals.

          • Hmmm, OK then, I concede. If that really is what Libertarianism is, I am no Libertarian.
            Well, that's all I wanted to hear. It just kinda bugs me when people claim to be Libertarians but in reality aren't anything like a Libertarian. Thanks to Azazel for the backup while I was away, regardless of whether or not we agree

            And with that, I will waste no more time responding to the posts on here, for the time being

                31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on.

                    GP, either you know the answer to that question, and are asking it in order to get a laugh out of it, or you don't know the answer, in which case you should be able to figure it out. Either way, I'm not going into it.

                      It wasn't for a laugh. Curious how hardcore you are.

                        • So here is a more interesting question.

                          To what extent do you care about varying degrees of libertarianism in your life? Sure your philosophy is purist to the extent of not wanting any taxes...but in daily life, do you care about half a loaf?
