    Yup. When you think about it, if you were really libertarian you’d have an electric car and maybe stand up a wind turbine and some solar panels in your yard. That way you wouldn’t be dependent on complex oil refineries and a global oil system, the majority of which is directly owned by foreign governments.

    But how many libertarians actually do this? Really libertarianism is about a vague feeling of distrust in the government and it doesn’t actually go any deeper than that.

      Real libertarians would just be anarcho-communists since you really need some sort of community to cover the gaps in your abilities.

      There’s a reason ancient farming communities almost universally shared food communally. One bad harvest and you’re dead.
