what kind of government would exist in a libertarian system? What power would it have?

Question

but what does that mean specifically "minimum and efficient" that is just like a slogan, not an answer. What kind of power would it have? I am trying to understand the specific differences between libertarianinsm and anarchy.

Answer 1

Much like the current regime under George Bush. A bunch of hustlers who steal the recognizable elements and spin from Pure Capitalism, Leo Straussian NeoCon inspired nonsense, minimalist desert rat survivalists with rapture waiting as a hobby.

Libertarians have a modern self image as Cowboy revisionists who romanticize and combine loner-ism as a new American philosophy with a rugged hero existence.

Answer 2

I'm Libertarian. To explain this would be pretty involved, so I"ll just give you the short answer from the Website.

"Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."

The way I see it is... Do all the drugs you want, just leave my money alone.

Answer 3

Minimal and efficient.

A libertarian model calls for the minimum government necessary to provide for essential structure and functioning. That includes homeland defense (not occupation of other countries), infrastructure, and similar essential services.

The main purpose of the libertarian government is to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals, and preserve those rights against physical or ideological attack from others.

It would have the power necessary to enforce the guarantees of civil liberties, and to defend against both foreign attack and domestic coercion.

Think freedom. Vote Libertarian.

Answer 4

Think of it as our current government system. About half of the offices being held by Democrats, the other half being held by Republicans. But instead of bitching and blindly opposing each other, they WORK TOGETHER. And the government is smaller. As someone else said, smaller and more EFFICIENT. If libertarians were in control, it wouldn't be much different. More social freedoms, more economic freedoms, much less tax.

Answer 5

all i know is drugs rule society in america.
grand ideas are treated harsh and inventions are treated with open arms along with test tube babies that are less suseptable to the new diseases and disorders in our world. you give a drug addict drugs u numb them from reality and there children become problems later in society. Its all about are past. One of bush's daughters was going through a ruff time but he has made sure they are not on the pedestal of judgment.

Answer 6

a libertarian government would exist in a libertarium system. it would have raw nasty power and everyone would want to do it all the time
