No particular LP stance. Divisive issue, but we're a big tent.
There are those of the libertarian persuasion, including myself, who are
not convinced that soverignity requires territoriality, that is, that
only one governmental system should be granted a monopoly to govern in a
particular geographic location. But that's such an outre idea that it
raises a number of eyebrows so I shan't debate it.
if you're keen on reading about anarcho-capitalistic (franchised out
government) societies, read Across Realtime by Vernor Vinge. Good story
in its own right, and plays with the idea nicely.
Me, I'd rather debate stuff like whether the (E1 SW) Trade Federation
were actually capitalist or not (they aren't), or how to go about
privatizing the Tennesee Valley Authority. (sell it)
Govermental theory is all screwy. And I can live just fine in a
minimalist government society even if they have a territorial power
monopoly.
