The longer I think about it (and speak to some slightly more hardcore
libertarians over on other places), the harder it gets for me to
distinguish (hardcore) libertarianism from anarchism.
The only difference that matters, as far as I can see, is that
libertarianism is allegedly based on rights, whereas anarchy is based
on chaos. The implementation, however, is virtually the same -
hardcore libertarians feel that doing without government and police is
The Way to do it. Without government, there are no laws. Therefore,
all three legs of the tripod are missing. All that you're left with is
anarchy, or, in other words, whoever has the most potential to keep
the people around him happy (usually money)(and to get those people to
protect him from everyone else), essentially rules.
See: Robber Barons, "I owe my soul to the company store", etc.
Note that I do know you've stated you're not that hardcore, but let's
keep this impersonal for now.
