Arguments Against Libertarianism

In modern day western culture, it has become uncool to use the word “evil” to the point that it has actually become trendy to say that it is intolerant to have objective moral standards. The word evil therefore becomes a term that no one wants to define or use often because they are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. Do you not like the idea of killing babies through surgical abortions? Don’t be intolerant. Do you think that the states do not have a right to restrict gun ownership? How intolerant of you. Do you think that libertarians have objective morals that restrict who can be called a libertarian? You are an intolerant idiot. This sort of moral relativism is exactly what an evil person would try to spread far and wide. Though the definition

Only the most primitive life struggles with anything outside of a “zero-sum game” and usually this is restricted to reptiles and other ancient species of life and as already stated, even viscious apex predetors like polar bears will avoid conflict whenever possible. Animals with the capacity for higher neocortex activity are able to reason that conflict is not prefearable except in the most dire of circumstances.

No matter how many apologists protest that Hitler misinterpreted Nietzsche, it is really no surprise that this philosopher, which deemed any individual’s desire for power to be relevant, lead to so much evil. Another philosopher often parodied by those with evil intent was Thomas Hobbes. He was a man that believed that rights only stemmed from the power of authority. Evil people will often argue as Hobbes did, that in a state of nature, only struggle exists and therefore people should be grateful for whatever they
