[Peace-discuss] Libertarian/Anarchist

[Bob Illyes]

Libertarians like Wayne (correct me if I'm wrong here, Wayne) are actually 
promoting classical liberal democracy, which is scarcely radical, at least 
not in the US.

Radical Libertarians, on the other hand, claim that any government is bad 
government, so we should just get rid of the stuff. Nice idea, if you want 
to live in a REAL nightmare.

Chomsky knows this, and is playing games with words and painting with too 
broad a brush. But then his specialty IS language.

The connection of all of this with war? I think we're looking under the 
wrong rock. Ask if there is a difference between an authoritarian state and 
a large multi-national corporation, and the cause of war might be clearer. 
Before we consider if government is or is not the problem, or if it even 
makes sense to ask this question, we need a better handle on what can be 
called a government.
