Yes-As a US citizen I care about protecting the liberties & advantages
of the “set” known as US Citizens. Nations still exist. That does not mean I
don’t care about the ruthless abuses the global crony capitalist system forces
and/or attempts to force on others. The corrupt politicians in most countries
collude with them under the guise of protection. Peoples must look after
themselves through their own govts. A sound world currency that kept govts
honest would help.
That is what a conservative libertarian would say. ''Protect the liberty of a
certain group of people, for example the american people. This is how the greek
athenian democracy worked as well. It was a democracy for men. But if we start
thinking about liberty to a set of people we end up with the conclusion that
everyone is a libertarian (take as a set only yourself ). That would make the
use of the word libertarian unnecessary (as we all are libertarians). Since the
word is used to differentiate between people, we end up through
Reductio ad absurdum
that your defintion of libertarian is wrong.
We also end up with the
conclusion that you are not a libertarian.
As a personal remark, I would
say that such a wrong definition of libertarian was always used as an excuse to
diminish the liberties of others.
(reading math.. right
now)
