In the context of the 'traditional' statists-anti-statists libertarian spectrum, the far left is any totalitarian government (Nazis and Reds) and the Far Right is the anarcho-capitalists.

While you favor a very limited government which puts you on the 'right' on the traditional spectrum, your general belief in the state puts you on the left side of the more narrowly defined libertarian spectrum. Where as tpaine wants to make sure abortionists right to sell their wares and consumer rights to purchase them are enforced (with state aparatus) you believe that the state aparatus should be used to protect the rights of the in ueteros but yet you also favor a state large enough to use coercively obtained revenues to fight wars.

It's just a slight difference, really; in my world view, you both favor very large states and while I agree with you culturally, that abortion is murder, we have very different theories on gubmint.

How do you infer the necessity of a 'very large' state from what I have put forward? Does a state need to be large to defend its people and to make and enforce laws against murder, and other offenses to liberty?
