Ex Post Facto Assumptions
Rob Sandwell at The Libertarian Enterprise - why do governments do what they do? Because they are evil. Another good method, besides Neil's vulcan mind meld (see right column), to tell a statist from a libertarian. Ask them why there are public schools and public roads and public anything. [tle]
But the libertarian understands the true nature of statism. The state is a cancer. It begins small and seemingly weak, but it always spreads and corrupts healthy tissue until all of society has become diseased. It then overpowers the immune system of the society contained within whatever semblance of free markets and personal property rights the society observes, and causes complete social collapse. This process is both demonstrable in history, and inevitable in the future.
