    What is a libertarian? Is it liberation from shared community with others?

    Thus no regulation of the landlord, or the activities of the corporation, domestic or foreign as to the public commons.

    Is it making the ownership of wealth sovereign and ending any tax on wealth and capital gain?

    The no society with others would mean any government which acts in defence of the commons becomes a crime against private wealth (for which it must make compensation to its sovereign, the investing corporation). For organised capital is the libertarian God.

    And this religion rules over nations and provides those with no public commons a master to rule over them.

    To understand, what libertarian identity means, allows the cynicism in this column to be understood.

    It says because the Maori defend their treaty claims, then there can be no public commons, no nation state and thus the libertarian must be allowed to rule – they have only their class and origin. And this is their land because there is no CG, no estate tax (the only one of its type in the OECD) and from it they extract wealth for them and theirs and no one else, only so many can be rich and sorted at a time.

    It also means those who serve the cult of mammon, form a temporary alliance with majoritarian settler privilege against the protection of the land and its indigenous peoples rights.

    Exploiting their voting power for profit to the few. And if the common settler realises that, they can go live in Oz for better pay for all the libertarian cares. And that applies to the migrant worker all the same.

      A Libertarian is primarily a hypocrite.

      Examples. They are big on "Property rights". Once they have stolen something from the commons they get to keep it. "Small Government", so long as it supplies police, military and Union busters to protect them and their "property", and regulation to support the same.

      In other words the same as someone said about economists. "Constructing a (seemingly) moral justification for greed.
