Our government regulates the market. Are we 'socialist'? I expect I know what the answer to that would be from a Libertarian. As the author points out, to the Libertarian there is them and everyone else (the socialists/totalitarians).

Once again, Reality: libertarians demand that the individual accept the outcome of market forces

The only logical reading of this statement is that the author feels the government should redistribute wealth. You could argue that I misinterpreted the author's statement, except for the passage where he states, "Redistribution of wealth is inherently good: in fact, it is a moral obligation of the state. Excessive wealth is there to be redistributed: the only issue is what is 'excessive'."
