I'll leave it to you to figure out the amazing contradictions in your arguments. If libertarianism has an enforcement mechanism, then it must have some way for power to be exerted over others.

Apparently you do not recognize that contracts, voluntary associations, and established mediation or prearranged judiciary have a place in a civilized society. If you do not understand these things then I cannot continue to rationally discuss politics with you...you obviously prefer the force of government and the tyranny of the majority. Good luck with that approach in trying to build a better society.

Man, you’ve really drunk the libertarian Kool-Aid! Well, I’m finished with the discussion, too. But I’ll be happy to return to it if you can cite an example of a country becoming less centralized, regulated, and socialistic after becoming socially liberal.
