CHICKEN LOVERS

I don't think a better critique of Libertarianism exists than the South Park episode "Chicken Fucker". It is pretty clear that libertarians prefer morons running around committing carnal acts with poultry is preferable to such evil collective acts as taxation.  So, don't read this, watch Chickenlover instead! I honestly don't know if political libertarianism can be taken seriously. Anything one can come up with would be instantly derided. It's as if libertarianism is it's own critique. For example, libertarians argue that TAXATION IS THEFT but there has been support for conscription (Friedrich F.

Before that they were the (allegedly) Revolutionary Communist Party. Now they have embraced a strange but unfortunately fashionable cult called "libertarian anarcho-capitalism". Some of these people call themselves Ancaps, but really their ideology states that democracy is equal to Fascism and that the ideal government is a military dictatorship styled on the former Pinochet regime in Chile. Freedom of speech for them means that all forms of pornography-even animal or child abuse-should be legalised, seemingly regardless of the tragic consequences. I am not making this up! This is a stated goal of the Von Mises Institute and Claire Fox, of Spiked/Sp!ked, has in the past defended poss...
