The problem with libertarianism is that it all too often takes for granted the products of highly sophisticated system of government regulation. The typical young highly privileged person’s libertarianism is an incredibly disgusting sight. I do believe we need more harmonized free trade though. Right now some types of resources (natural resources, the processing of natural resources) is freely traded worldwide, while other type of resources (human labour on-site) is not freely traded, resulting in a situation whereby in the countries with largest per capita resource consumptions (‘developed countries’) it is cheaper to build on-site a poorly thermally insulated shack and put aircon on it, than to build better thermally insulated housing. This is rather bad for environment. Furthermore the taxes go to support the citizens of same country, not those most in need, and a non-nationalistic person can’t really support that either.
