I respect your right to your views and to express them. The only trouble I have with your comment is that it mixes two things:

1. Explaining Libertarianism and the relationship between my words and its ideals, and

2. Professing the truth of Libertarianism.

I like the parts where you explain what Libertarians believe. I don’t believe those same things, mind you.

I didn't read nirvana's comment as conflating your views and Libertarianism. Where is this happening?

Try the very first sentence on for size: "This sounds like libertarianism to me, not socialism (small S or not.)"

I didn't mean to characterize you, but your thesis. I apologize to the extent that I did this.
