[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you ask a libertarian how their society is supposed to work and not self-destruct, they point to a Nonaggression Principle where supposedly most of society "agrees" to not commit violence or fraud. Yet they mock the idea of the social contract and say "I didn't sign anything." But isn't this nonaggression principle also a social contract? [/quote] I don't think that's the libertarian mindset. I would say they generally disagree with a lot of drug laws and many if not most laws regulating professions and a lot of environmental, health, and safety regulations, and laws restricting, say, land use, but definitely support the concept of law enforcement for criminals. Think Ayn Rand. [/quote]
