“Libertarianism” is one of those red flag weasel-nouns like “people’s republic” or “democratic republic” which indicates that whatever entity it is printed on is the exact opposite of the label on the can.”

Lots of personal freedom and responsibility, so it’s hard not to like it. At least, until I realized a few things.
