    Stoves are a great example of why the richest among us want to push libertarianism. You see the freedom to buy a gas stove. They see the freedom to make products that are one penny cheaper but kill their users.

    Libertarianism and anarchism in general fail to account for sociopaths who are willing to make others suffer for their own gain.

      Anarchism accounts for them just fine. The solution is to kick them out of society.

      It’s just a damn shame that we’ve all proven to be cowards and unwilling to do it.

        I mean, how is that any qualitatively different than people enforcing stove regulations themselves? They could do it themselves, with enough motivation.
