People's owning of inherited property upholds and is in keeping with the wishes of the former owner of the property.

What about inherited property? Most property is inherited.

BRAVO! Excellent video! I liked the whole thing, but the part about the "marketplace of values" is something that I've always said and ditto at "intellectual sloth". :)

I've noticed so often that when I talk to Libertarians, I find that I have reached the same conclusions as them but in isolation from them. Does it make me a narcissistic, self-right prick to say "great minds think alike"? It probably does, but it's probably also true...

One thing that I am rather disappointed with, though, is the apparent abundance of libertarians who are also insane conspiritards. I'm sick of people assuming I'm either a right-wing nutjob or a conspiracy theorist lunatic when I say that I'm a Libertarian. So to all you conspiritard libertarians: STOP AGREEING WITH ME.

I feel this way too. I'm a libertarian. I'm not a "truther" or a Paulbot or a pothead or anything else that has spoiled libertarian philosophy. I tire of people who call themselves libertarians just because they want to smoke pot legally without knowing anything about what liberty really is.

There are a lot of cooks and conspiritards who call themselves libertarians and I hate it. I simply believe that people should live their lives doing whatever they want as long as they don't keep others from doing the same (libertarianism in a nutshell). I don't see how this idea has anything to do with wacky conspiracy theories and paranoid delusions, but in so many peoples minds, they're apparently linked. It pisses me off like very few other things do.

in my first post I made a typo. I meant to say "self-righteous" rather than "self-right". I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Interest, rent, and dividends are incentives to invest capital so that others may use them to increase their own (and everyone's) well-being. If there was no government to lobby for special favors, then this would be much clearer.

i know what they're for but I don't agree that the market always provides the best incentives, I think what is incentivised and what is decentivised should be decided by those affected by it to the extent that they are affected by it, not necessarily the market, i wouldn't go as far to say i'm a market abolishionist but if you look what it does to things like art and architecture you see some of it's pitfalls,
i don't see why old aged pensioners should have to pay to take the bus etc.
