Utopia, a poll (with other completely unconnected question)

[andrewducker]

"The Culture" in this case refers to the space-faring civilisation in Iain Banks' awesome series of novels.

I think objections to the Culture on property right terms shows that libertarians not actually care that much about property rights (since they are meaningless in a super-abundant society). Rather it is smoke screen for the fact that what they really want is property inequality.

Perhaps it does. (And it’s always interesting to ask Libertarians how they view Rawls’ veil of uncertainty when thinking about their system – or my personal favourite, to ask them about transaction costs.)

But it might not show this – it might be that Libertarians have a sincere and genuine moral belief in self-autonomy as a good thing in itself.
