More broadly, libertarians fail to grapple with the reality that, for most individuals in an advanced society, the most coercive force in day-to-day life isn’t the state, but the boss.


What a hit piece. In this instance, if you don’t like your boss, you leave. He can’t arrest you and throw you in jail. Whom you work for is your choice. Anyone who equates your boss with the state is a far cry for being a libertarian.

This is an intellectually lazy article. False arguments and straw men set up and supposedly defeated by far fetched logic; all based on wrong/false arguments proclaimed by lazy thinking author.

Exactly.

Equating the enforcement of property rights to theft or murder is bizarre, but completely leftist.

Live cannot exist without property. Life can easily exist without murder or theft.

It is a complete alternate image of reality, where the basic premises of existence are false.

People are tied to their jobs in a serf like manner in many ways, including “golden handcuffs.”
