Those points have yet to be refuted, except for someone to say "he's a commie!". That is not an argument.

Commies have no standing to make arguments against freedom for the same reason al-Qaeda apologists have no standing to make arguments against Israel.

Steve, his statements about Libertarianism don't have anything to do with Communism! You're trying to make a connection that just isn't there.

Steve, let me post this one more time.. and I request that you rebut each point, point for point.. okay? or find someone who can.. nobody's even tried yet..

libertarian image libertarian reality
Image: non-coercion, no initiation of force Reality: libertarians legitimise economic injustice, by refusing to define it as coercion or initiated force
Image: moral autonomy of the individual Reality: libertarians demand that the individual accept the outcome of market forces
Image: political freedom Reality: some form of libertarian government, imposing libertarian policies on non-libertarians
Image: libertarians condemn existing states as oppressive Reality: libertarians use the political process in existing states to implement their policies
Image: benefits of libertarianism Reality: libertarians claim the right to decide for others, what constitutes a 'benefit'
