No more so than your shit-4-braincell left-wing sentiments. However, the 
libertarian ideal is good — it is the very embodiment of liberty and virtue. 
Your ideals have been demonstrated time and again to lead to mass murder, 
starvation and the annihilation of liberty. Your ideals are completely 
antithetical to human liberty. Humans want and deserve liberty, and they are 
endowed with rights that are only respected in a regime that protects that 
liberty. What you propose is the trampling of liberty. You want people to be 
slaves to the state.
