Lest anyone think that's an exaggeration...

> the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights. The parent therefore may not murder or mutilate his child, and the law properly outlaws a parent from doing so. But the parent should have the legal right not to feed the child, i.e., to allow it to die.
> Regardless of his age, we must grant to every child the absolute right to run away and to find new foster parents who will voluntarily adopt him, or to try to exist on his own.
> Now if a parent may own his child, then he may also transfer that ownership to someone else. He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children.

I don't think so. I'd call myself a libertarian, but I don't believe in any of that shit. All the political groups encompass a spectrum, in multiple dimensions, and shifting over time.

Libertarianism imo is the idea that people should mind their own business, and that the domestic side of the government should be small and stay out of peoples affairs.
I generally like that idea, but of course I draw the line somewhere as almost all libertarians do.
I don't see why a libertarian can't be racist. Freedom means you can think whatever you want about another person, or group of people. You can also defend yourself (or your race) when attacked. And we are *certainly* being attacked.
To take your angle, if jews were just existing somewhere and not harming anyone, yes I would want to leave them alone. But of course they're doing the opposite of that.
There is a large difference between the American libertarianism of today and *libertinism* which is what I would call this quoted stance.
Libertarianism says we agree on a few set ground rules so the system works(definition of property, definition of harm, definition of adult, definition of consent) and then use that to determine issue.

Then you’re not one. Hooray! Libertarians believe race is a matter of economic viability. You don’t.

"That's none of your business"
"Where did your baby go?"
"That's none of your business"
"Dave says he bought this baby from you"
"That's none of your business"

What you're quoting is a pedophile libertine
