Simple, the non-libertarians will live in an absolutist or communist system instead of our individualist system
What is in place to prevent the sheep mind virus from spreading in the individualist system?
What's to stop the leaches now??? Leaches sounds more accurate than sheep. I like to think individualist ideology will lead to fractured societies that will be difficult to unite. Also, does it matter? I'd argue that the founding of the US was a big leap forward even if it has been warped.
Agree, it was a big leap forward for individualists, but it fell apart when bankers screwed everyone.
It fell apart because people think power can be used safely. This includes the public. Obviously, crooks make things worse, but their power would be far more limited if people realized that power cannot be used for good without creating bad. The fall seems to me (with the luxury of hindsight) to be inevitable.
