most high-minded intellectual libertarian idealists have hypothesized that the best pragmatic implementation of the political-philosophy would be some variant of anarcho-syndicalism...

Then I suppose I should say, limited government =/= no government, because most Libertarians understand the need for government.

Minarchism.

If you're talking about people like Walter Block, then yes.

anarcho-capitalism and minarchism are slightly different to the other, more left-leaning, post-marxist libertarian ideals...

anarcho-syndicalism. errm some cliche names being chomsky, bakunin, tolstoy... that i know of from my readings, anyway.

The reason there are so many types of libertarians is that they sit in the large swath just above anarchy on the political compass. There's no set economic belief (though most understand that freedom must extend to people in business as well as in social settings in order to remain consistent), it's simply Not-Authoritarian.

You weren't even debating anything in the first place, just empty generalizations about libertarians. The problem with Libertarians is derp derp derp. Wrong. Your argument? Your source is crap. I'm sure you didn't even read it since apparently it's all lies and propaganda. Gullible little ol' me couldn't tell the difference.

You are just as set in your beliefs as I am, so quit with the retarded religion analogies already.

Yes, I did read it, but the tone was so editorial that I decided not to dignify it with a response. Mises is like Fox News for libertarians.

...which brings me back to why debating this with you is futile. It's not dogma to assume that some governmental intervention is needed, but it is dogma to assume the market can fix everything.
