A person should wonder why there haven’t been any successful libertarian societies.

Whatever happened to the Free State Project?

"A person should wonder why there haven’t been any successful libertarian societies."

Not everyone, or even a majority, is willing to accept responsibility for their own success and are more than willing to mooch a living if they can.

There are always those that will organize the moochers to loot the treasuries of the producers.

It is left as an exercise for you to determine which people and what organizations are:

A) Producers
B) Moochers
C) Looters

Compassion for our fellow man is largely what prevents us from establishing a truly free society where many would literally starve.

Why no libertarian societies:

1. Libertarianism as a distinct political philosophy named as such has only been around since about the 1950s. It’s also a very American philosophy so its reach is limited.

2. There is more money and power to be had in expanding the scope and reach of government than limiting it.

The Free State Project is alive and well. The move was triggered last year I think?
