BH, I'm trying to understand the rejection of collectivism by those of the libertarian persuasion. Isn't society itself a collective to some degree? I'm not talking about absolute collectivism (or Marxism as it's described by most libertarians.)
I've read a bit about libertarianism and some of it isn't too, too crazy but I see a bent towards absolutism in most libertarians that pisses me off. Not to mention a wacked idea that the world is going to descend into barbarism through totalitarianism. Isn't some sort of rational amalgamation of these differing philosophical concepts possible?
BTW I'm all ism'd out and the Young Turks is on. Watching ol' shifty eyed Ayn Rand has me feeling like I need a shower.
Did you watch that interview BH?
