I agree, except for the choice of the word Libertarian.

One can be against authoritarianism but also against (what can be argued to be) anarchy and/or hedonism.

Ill be the first person to dismiss someone for engaging in unnecessary semantics - but in this case, I think; as metallica once said "Words do matter".

The voluntary interaction in libertarianism is decent - but the unruled masses are not like you or I. They will turn it into (or be tricked into) a world of "do what thou will" - and we all know who wants that stuff.

Now that I think about it more - I had to touch it up a bit.

In Europe "libertarian" means socialist-anarchist.

The New Deal was a socialists idea that was borrowed by FDR.
