Agreed, and ** all ** libertarianism falls before the argument that 
any group, or sub-group, of people has the liberty to form a 
socialist community. (Unless the libertarians want dictatorial 
libertarianism, militarily enforced -- "Live Free or we'll make sure 
you die!") 

I still see A,S, and U praised by, e.g., Quine, and at least Nozick 
tried to go beyond Randian rhetoric. I was unaware that he had 
Repented. 

Regards,

Charlie
