I think this is a bit of a blind spot for libertarian ideals. One tends to get the impression that people only need to be protected from the government.

I, myself, am quick to point out that the first amendment only applies to the government, but I'm starting to think it might be better if those kinds of protections are broadened.




Far too many so-called libertarians are jealous of the government’s power to oppress people instead of being lovers of liberty.


Yes, I have been wondering for a long time why some libertarians seem to dismiss the issues of monopolies and cartels, even though these too are anti-free market.
