Libertarians use the law to control the working class?
" Libertarian \Lib`er*ta"ri*an\ (-t[=a]"r[i^]*an), a. [See
Liberty.]
Pertaining to liberty, or to the doctrine of free will, as
opposed to the doctrine of necessity."
I'm not libertarian (yet)but I wasn't sure you actually knew what the word meant the way you used it. I've met quite a few libertarians on this board and they are far from anarchists.

Libertarians use the law to control the working class? Anarchists do; anarchists have discovered that law is an excellent way to get the social change and control of gov't that they want, and anarchists do indeed want control. Libertarians use the more powerful constraints of peer pressure more directly, but there are very few actual libertarians so their effect is close to zero. The idea is that anarchists and libertarians end up as the most totalitarian of all through peer pressure, or its modern equivalent--smoking and sunburn laws.
