I love how 'people I disagree with' becomes 'people without principles'
While a lot of libertarians end up being conservatives that want to be cool, I've met quite a few who believe strongly in the fundamental principles.
I disagree with them precisely because they are principled. I don't feel the need to deny them their capabilities of believing something.
Is this just you being unable to imagine people who legitimately disagree with you?
Wrong on all counts. The people in the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK, Laos, Venezuela, Nicaragua, or even Belarus, etc. would all be thrown far backward if they dissolved their socialist (or quasi-socialist for Belarus) systems, opening themselves up to imperialist plunder.
You are clearly not capable of objectivity
