Ie instead of a city having a civic government there would be a corporation that privately owns all the property and leases it, a corporation that owns the streets, a corporation that provides police and military services, but only to people who contracts. Many of them don't go that far, but strongly believe that there should be little or no government regulation or interference in the economy. It's a very unrealistic system and non-libertarians, ie almost all Leftists and almost all Democrats, along with a good proportion of Fascists (GOP and their allies) don't take Libertarians seriously. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] silent_water@hexbear.net 6 points 3 years ago also they can't shut the fuck up about age of consent laws so around here "pedos" is pretty much always implied when talking about permalink fedilink source parent
