Hooray! Using the old Somalia cliche, even though they were a failed Soviet client state and not a voluntary society! Not mentioning they were better off with no government and even started developing an economy without one! Hooray! Hooray!

Hooray, hooray, for the nonexistent Galt's Gulch that has never existed except within your minds! Wait a second: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior certainly must qualify! Certainly Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome! Bartertown! Two men enter, one man leave...two men enter, one man leave...Paradise! Paradise!

I beg to differ. It is manifest that no group of people have a tighter grip on insanity than anarcho-capitalist libertarians. I mean, can't you envision a society totally bereft of any compulsion whatsoever? Everything is "voluntary!"

At least Democracy Now!'s Media Bias Fact Check page (regardless of how one feels about MBFC) is given a higher fact-finding rating than PJ Media. Of course, this is going by MBFC's methodologies.
