O-Land News Junkie Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 If minarchists like Ayn Rand, Ludwig von Mises, and Frédéric Bastiat are libertarians, and they obviously are, than it is possible [...] for a libertarian to believe that a certain amount of state coercion is a necessary and acceptable method for preventing even greater rights violations. [....] Having the state overthrow tyrants abroad, interventionists often argue, is just an extension of having the state stop crimes against life and property at home [...]. But in practice, how likely is it that a libertarian government that repeatedly started aggressive wars to liberate foreign countries would stay libertarian?http://randex.org/index.php/weblog/the_con...nterventionism/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
