Re: Public education is political indoctrination paid for by theft

The same way that socialists believe it. I don't know.

And to clarify, "Libertarian" includes a range of beliefs based on the same basic premise. What I've described is what montecristo holds to, which is the anarchic end of the range. Rasilio and I are on the minarchist part of the scale, which is that we acknowledge that not all people are good, so that there needs to be some kind of gov't and rules, but that it needs to be as small as possible and only doing things to protect individual rights and freedoms.

there are many who are so selfish that they would dominate the weaker within a short time.

There are no weaker. Everyone has exactly identical amount of power. Someone is only "stronger" because others are loaning them their power and because the "weaker" don't think they have the power they do have.
