Author Ellen Willis has written that "the fundamental fallacy of right libertarianism is that the state is the only source of coercive power." They don't recognize "that the corporations that control most economic resources, and therefore most people's access to the necessities of life, have far more power than government to dictate our behavior and the day-to-day terms of our existence."[11]

...now I know what's always made me wary of Libertarians...they SOUND like they're sort of making sense because they stress human liberty...but it's a scam, as this writer shows...it's like Brutus and the conspirators who murdered Caesar being billed as loving "freedom"...what they meant by freedom was THEIR freedom to do whatever they felt like doing, with their private armies and financial crookedness and greed.,,which is a far cry from what we think of as the more noble aspects of Freedom.

Turns out libertarians are nothing more than free-marketeers who only want government dismantled so THEY can have all the freedom from regulation and fredom to engage in shady practices to go their way making all the money they can...screw everything else...government is supposed to see citizenry as an end in itself...not the means to an end...which is exactly what corporations do...they SAY they're here to serve us, but in reality we're here to serve THEM.
