RE: Is this the libertarian utopia some Steemers dream of?

in #news7 years ago

The difference is government has force behind it. If a community is peacefully and voluntarily organizing, then it's not government. Libertarianism is anything but "utopian". Thinking a few elected officials in Washington wielding the immense power of government, and the incredible incentives of lobbyists will ever do anything but line their pockets is utopian to me.

Sort:  

Well, I meant to use the word utopian for its traditional meaning really.

Utopian.- A Utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens

So in reality I'm not in disagreement with your statement one bit.
