What would be really interesting is to learn how exactly all of those autonomous states (counties, towns, etc.) in your libertarian paradise would pay for things like roads, schools, "militias," etc.

So you're taking the stance that all forms of taxation are theft.

Translation: anarchy.

And yes they are self made,yeah your parents raised you but they didn't give anything you worked for to you. You bust your butt and get it.
Are you a troll? Your parents didn't give you anything? I'm sorry you had such a miserable upbringing.

What's hilarious is that you probably drive on government funded roads every day that you paid only a tiny, miniscule fraction of.

Perhaps you'd like to tell the benefactors of the polio vaccine that they are only alive thanks to government theft?

I'll bet some warlords in sub-Saharan Africa call themselves voluntary guards and militiamen as well. These ideas are like theoretical communism....to some it sounds nice on paper but in reality it's a nightmare

Do your research. In addition to receiving the benefit of public education, these individuals all received nontrivial amounts of government mandated funding.

In a libertarian society, scientific advancement would come to a virtual standstill. Nearly 50% of conservatives have professed to not "believing" in science - they will doubtlessly raise their children (in this new homeschooling/local schooling system) in a similar manner.
