The article is basically pointless. He makes no real critique of libertarianism except to say the obvious: that as a political theory it doesn't deal with all human behavior.

If he is coming from a conservative or liberal position then he should have made some more specific comments about what policies he believes that governments should follow that would be opposed by libertarians.

Does he believe in the use of eminent domain? Does he believe in protecting the borders? Does he believe in some social safety net? Does he believe in organizations like the FDA, CDC, OSHA, EPA, etc. that supposedly protect citizens from the excesses of the free market?

The essay is silent on these issues.

“The article is basically pointless.”

As are most of the comments.
