What are your thoughts on evictionism? It's a proposal to solve the abortion debate from a libertarian perspective. It basically goes like this: since you are the owner of yourself, and you have full autonomy over your property, a woman has full autonomy over her body. Just like how you have the right to evict anyone you don't like out of your house for whatever reason, a woman has the right to evict her baby from her body whenever she wants to for whatever reason. In other words, the act of evicting a fetus itself doesn't violate the NAP, so it shouldn't be illegal to do so. But of course, we all know what happens to a fetus after it gets aborted, it dies. That's the part where you could argue, although the first act doesn't violate the NAP, the second one does, so you could say it still violates the NAP. The problem with that logic, however, is that that would be like saying that kicking out someone out of your property because they haven't paid their rent, and they end up dying of hyperthermia on the streets a few days afterwords, then that means you broke the NAP because your first action resulted in that person dying. I'm sure most people here would agree that you didn't break the NAP just for kicking that person out, even if they did end up dying afterwards. Either way, evictionism tries to solve this by saying we should be looking into ways to save a fetus after it gets aborted. Currently, it isn't possible for a woman who evicts her fetus to give that fetus to another woman who wants it, but if it were possible, it would basically be the equivalent of the fetus being evicted from its previous home and moving in to a new home.

Libertarians are eternal losers.

I am not asking the prescriptive question of "Should we offer free helicopter rides to communists," but the historical descriptive question of, "Did Pinochet's regime's policy of execution/arrest of communists result in a more economically liberal society?"

As of this message, Julay world will be undergoing a rebuild in 88 day's time, after which "core" boards will be the only ones present on Julay. I don't anticipate /liberty/ being one of these core boards, so we'll be moving to a site of our own to prepare for the change. I'll be active both here and on the new site until the Julay board goes down.

Is Animal Crossing an ancap game?

Maybe somebody's made a thread already but I can't find it so fuck you.

Some would say that this is a big nothingburger and it'll blow over in a few weeks. Others would call it the next 9/11. Judging by how Costco's been recently, normalfags are panicking, but not enough to consider buying the premium reverse osmosis purified electrolyte-enhanced alkaline smart water. I'll give my take:

Post content (memes, cartoons, etc.) relating to all aspects of libertarianism, whether it be history or economics or foreign policy or anything else. Sharing others' is fine, but anything original is greatly encouraged!

I've been hearing a lot of bad shit about the upcoming election in November. Mail-in fraud, rumors about Mattis leading a coup d'etat, Pelosi stating that Trump should be forced out of the office, arsonists starting wildfires on the West Coast, and of course all of the BLM rioters in major cities across the U.S.. What do you think is going to happen in November? How should I prepare (other than "SKS inna woods"). Also, if any of you can help me gather sources for what I said, I'd appreciate it, because every search engine immediately places MSM sources at the top all with the exact same articles trying to refute every single item in my list. It's all just so goddam Orwellian.

>it's been statistically proven multiple times that the countries with the freest markets are the most environmentally friendly >yet most libertarians and other free market activists rather stick with climate denial Why is it this way? We could get more people on our side if we point this out.

Supposing that capital punishment is valid for sufficient crimes, where does the right to execute lie? I'd like to specifically think about the crime of murder.

Murray Rothbard wrote the following:

we need a doctrine for war libertarianism. There are libertarians, even Kinsella, who complain about Florida laws against proof of vaccination because it stops small business from doing something. They don't understand that it's a necessary act to impede the federal government who could otherwise use federal funding or just the law to mandate proof of vaccination. This is because many libertarian autists don't understand that in war time you are allowed to fight and it's not a violation of the NAP. At the same time, it's not like everything is allowed just because we are at war so we need a doctrine for libertarianism in time of war like the one we are living right now.

Sometimes when I go to sleep at night, I imagine California seceding from the U.S.. At least in my mind it sounds like such a good deal. That humongous electoral block that almost decides every single goddam election being gone. San Francisco and Los Angeles being truly California's problem. All the Hollywood celebrities not being part of the U.S..

How would a libertarian society deal with unions especially teachers unions?

Brother MFC-2700DW. This is what made me stop being a libertarian after listening to the Tom Woods Show daily for 5 years, reading Rothbard, Hoppe and all the misesian crew. A fucking multi-purpose printer. Why? Because I just found out that the scanning function doesn't work if the printer runs out of ink. A feature completely separated from the other doesn't work because of some jewish software trickery. This is not something that can be solved using the free market because it's such a specific nuisance that it will never be adressed. I mean, would a court defend me? Instead the State would be a lot more efficient. One law to stop hardware being stopped by software and the problem is solved and justice is served.
