Incidentally, it's pertinent to note that Ayn Rand-style free market libertarianism is hardly the only philosophy that calls itself such. I feel more at home among libertarian socialists like Pierre Joseph-Prodhoun than among Objectivists. Indeed, until about forty years ago, libertarianism was a decidedly left-wing phenomenon. I consider its recent incarnation an intentional perversion to neuter the movement of its potential to threaten the status-quo. Paulite libertarians are less than useless; they play directly into the hands of the corporatists who encourage the growth of the State so that they can "partner with" (i.e. control) it.
That pretty much describes me.
