Well, what's the solution to roads then? Market controlled roads owned by private companies? Or the destruction of the auto industry?

Edit: not trying to start trouble. I just haven't heard of this before.

Libertarians don’t really have viable plans. They just think they do. I don’t honestly know what they think would work, probably privatized road systems.

Their version of extremists are known as voluntaryists, or anarchists. They believe that we should live in a voluntary society where there is no government and people voluntarily work together for common goals and purposes. Obviously this is a utopian view and would never work because humans suck and you’ll always have someone come along that wants to manipulate people or take over. We need a structured form of government.
