I’m always struck by the Libertarian inability to make the crucial distinction between rights and power.

At its core, libertarianism to rooted in selfishness and the total rejection of authority, this is why libertarianism will ALWAYS result in anarchy if it is allowed. Libertarians have convinced themselves that a desire is the same thing as a right.
