Is Libertarianism Nihilistic?

IOW the elections are rigged very well.

The irony of this post is blowing me away.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore

Singapore is a parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government representing constituencies. Its constitution establishes representative democracy as its political system.[6] Freedom House ranks Singapore as "partly free" in its Freedom in the World report,[28] and The Economist ranks Singapore as a "hybrid regime", the third rank out of four, in its "Democracy Index".[29] Singapore is consistently rated one of the least corrupt countries in the world by Transparency International.[30]
Executive power rests with the Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister, and the President.[22] The president is elected through popular vote, and has some veto powers for a few key decisions such as the use of the national reserves and the appointment of judges, but otherwise occupies a ceremonial post.[31]
The Parliament serves as the legislative branch of government.[22] Members of Parliament (MPs) consist of elected, non-constituency and nominated members. Elected MPs are voted into parliament on a "first-past-the-post" (plurality) basis and represent either single-member or group-representation constituencies.[32] The People's Action Party has won control of Parliament with large majorities in every election since self-governance was secured in 1959.[28] However, in the most recent parliamentary elections in 2011, the opposition, led by the Workers' Party, made significant gains and increased its representation in the House to 6 elected MPs.[33]

America saved Eduardo Saverin — and he won’t repay the favor.
When he was 13, Saverin was named on a gangster’s list of potential kidnapping targets. His family fled Brazil to Miami for his safety.

Saverin thrived, attending a fancy prep school. He became a citizen in 1998, and made his way to Harvard, where he became pals with Mark Zuckerberg and the other founders of Facebook.

Now he’s shunning the United States — the place that gave him personal safety, along with immense opportunity and wealth — by stiffing us for a possible $600 million in taxes.

He’s renouncing his US citizenship in favor of Singapore, the Southeast Asian city-state that has no capital-gains tax, where he has lived like royalty since 2009.

The move already has saved him about $288 million in taxes, and will save him much more if he chooses to sell his $4 billion personal stake in Facebook, which goes public next week.

No loyalty when the US just becomes a place to suck the locals dry for education and make money, a colonial outpost for the world's cultural groups.

The dissolution of a country via open borders, diversity promotion, multiculturalism, moral and cultural relativism (value and culture neutral state).

libertarianism = anarchism

mises? :cmonson:

that said i will read later.

but mises?

What is it with you and attacking the source website people link to? You don't like mises.org for some reason? I'm linking to a summary on a book by an Austrian economist and you don't think mises would be appropriate?

Okay, how about http://www.lewrockwell.com/hoppe/hoppe4.html
Maybe Forbes is more to your liking http://www.forbes.com/sites/jerry...at-failed/

it's not mises in and of itself, but austrian economics that is the problem.

I'm not surprised you seem to have issues grasping austrian economic theory.
