Gaining Consent, Part 3

Libertarians want smaller government. Minarchists want a government so small, “it barely escapes being no government at all.” And for anarchists, even that much is too much.

We debate and squabble a fair amount in the libertarian camp, even though we generally share the same core principles and presuppositions. Sometimes the argument is about the precise pathway we used to arrive at those principles, or the degree to which we are willing to see them carried to their logical conclusions.

Sometimes, it is about doctrinaire details that no one outside of the movement would recognize as anything other than a distinction without a difference!

As I have made clear in the past, I am generally opposed to internecine, People’s Front of Judea-type squabbling. And yet, I am about to introduce a critique that could end up giving us something else to squabble about.

Oh well. It must be done.
