So... how libertarian are you... really? Libertarian Purity Test! ***

104. I may become more extreme as time goes on. Many of those questions in the 3rd section may seem outrageous to a first-timer, because they have not read more about the concepts. Murray Rothbard is probably the very best source for simple arguments for anarcho-capitalistic concepts such as private roads, police, courts, law, etc. That said, I have read those arguments in detail, and still do not agree with all of them. I am mostly held back by my lack of faith in human action and evolutionary social order. I think a powerful, obtrusive government (whether there is competition or not) is inevitable, so we might as well start one and have it as limited as possible. The constitution wasn't perfect, but it certainly was a great start.

Over time your Stockholm Syndrome to the State will wither away. Like it did for most of us. Just give it time

I got 131, almost a perfect libertarian/

The questions are too open to interpretation for some people. They may give a "no" answer for elimination of a government program without knowing there could be a private alternative or an orderly transition to a private alternative.

Where I do not think it can eliminated immediately I interpret it as transitioned to a private solution. I scored 140 but if I compromise on few things like immigration and public lands I get a perfect score.

Interesting quiz, I scored a 43, so I guess this makes me a socialist around here.

relatively speaking, yes.

But that shouldn’t stop us from working together to abolish the bourgeois ideals of protectionism, prohibition and price controls, right comrade?

I got 120. Things I answered no to were, private law, private courts, anarcho-capitalist, etc. I could see how a society would work with everything privatized. I don't know if it would work for the better though.

Read 'For a New Liberty' by Murray Rothbard. 'nuff said!
