Don't bother.

Sorry but I took your suggestion, Googled "libertarian police" and that was the first article that came up.

How silly it sounds to have a libertarian police force.

It is very predictable what you get under a libertarian administration: local warlords.

People need protection, so they turn to whomever is closest and strongest. That person demands support and allegiance in return, and voila! You have the Hatfields and the McCoys.

It's absolutely inevitable, but David Friedman will write long books about why it will all be JUST F ...[text shortened]... also have to be no natural disasters or significant outside threats.

It's not a robust solution.

The only way to maintain the type of order that wajoma is dreaming about would require a government police force more powerful than the warlords but that's not possible since it requires taxes and what not.

The answer is minarchy, as you already laid out.

Libertarians I think eventually admit they're Anarchists. Sometimes that realization takes time.

I'll take fiscal conservatism for a start. The only problem is I can't find one.

"Putting a hand out is not peaceful?"

You want to play the semantics game, I get it. You know what it means, but to dumb it all the way down for you, knowingly receiving stolen property is not peaceful.

"Regardless, none of that free stuff exists in libertarian society."

Correct, it exists in a social welfare society and that's why free and open immigrat ...[text shortened]... those that wish to get their hands on someone elses property through force, people such as yourself.

There is no coherent way to fund a standing police presence in a libertarian government.

Mainstream media is the term you're looking for.

Lock her up.

Libertarian immigration policy: Let peaceful people cross borders freely.

An example of not a peaceful person: Crosses the border then puts their hand out for free education, healthcare, social welfare benefit, accommodation to be supplied by reluctant citizens threatened with goobermint force to do so.

Putting a hand out is not peaceful?

Regardless, none of that free stuff exists in libertarian society.

Government justice - what does that mean to a libertarian?

@averagejoe1 said
Could you be specific and show any thing I have typed as qualifying as ‘wrong’? Not opinions, as does Sonhouse, but facts misrepresented.

You've written multiple times that trump had the border under control.

You've defended Trump's expansion of federal handouts as necessary for the economy on a thread about how bad handouts are.

Probably there are other examples...

Again with the killed police officers nonsense.
NO police officer was killed on Jan 6.
The rest is just as dishonest but I'm not going to bother.

Who's dishonest? Trumps own lawyer already went to prison for this and it's not disputed that trump ordered him to do it.

@wajoma said
In the context of "Police, Justice, Defense" Justice means a system of courts, judges, legal proceedings.

You're not understanding the assignment. In a libertarian government, what would justice look like?

@mott-the-hoople said
did she commit felonies when she destroyed phones and c]hard drives that were under congressional subpoena?

I don't know.

"Lock her up!" was coming from the campaign rallies of her political opponent, not the legal system.

so many lies so little time right?

Oops, that should have read, $33.19...

It's up because Trump's been "truthing"

@averagejoe1 said
Sonhouse writes this drivel after I have asked where I (AvJoe) have been wrong. He writes about Trump. Jesus, you really need to see somebody. After Trump is elected, I will be reading all of your posts to my coffee group. And like me now, they will be saying ENOUGH!!!! We Cant Take It Anymore!!

You are wrong about trump.

@averagejoe1 said
So you say that that phrase, for eons, deserves no merit. What would you replace it with? Say 1000 people living on an island together, decide to dump the logic of that statement, or its meaning or whatever, and replace it with........what? Has to be a one-liner that can be understood by anyone, even the students at Columbia.

The Golden rule is great! Whatchyou talking about?
