Libertarianism as a Programmatically Incoherent Social Philosophy (opens in new tab)

Absolute totalitarianism is probably the only programmatically coherent social philosophy - it puts the "program" into programmatically. That has nothing to do with its appropriateness for the human condition.

>Libertarianism boasts a very tightly reasoned and ostensibly compelling account of how social life should be ordered.

I thought it was the opposite of this. My preconception is reinforced by their description of the importance of the philosophy of self-ownership.

The whole "rectification" argument seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the concept of "justice", which is some kind of dog whistle. The author uses it to justify absurdities, whereas Nozick likely clarified its scope. But I haven't read his book, though I have it on my shelf, and the author deliberately obscures how close their conceptions of justice match, so I'm not sure how far off this is.
