All noble goals, and such, but this is a relatively novel
approach. This has not been tried on a large scale before. Clearly, it
would make sense to try an experiment first, establishing an
artificial Libber state, along the lines of Israel?
It should be very possible to purchase an island or a patch of desert
land from some weak 3rd world goverment for good cash in return for
being granted effective freedom to do whatever you like. These are
harsh conditions, since all the sweet spots are already taken, but the
kibuzzin managed to turn barren desert into high-productivity crops,
surely the Libertarians claiming high efficiency can do as well or
better? Can't claims to apparent superiority wait until proven in
reality? And clearly it is futile trying to establish a pocket of
Libertarianism in the industrialized north (Harry Browne is not even
being ignored), with it's established opposing power infrastructure?
