He has no objection to policemen whose function is solely that of
protection. But he resists the supposition that others know better than
he, how much protection he needs or can afford.
He sees in government a tool of man’s devising. He has no objection
to this tool so long as it is totally responsive to the man who hires
the tool and pays for its use. He does object to the employment of
this tool by some against others in an aggressive manner, since he is
primarily concerned with human liberty and the preservation of it for
all individuals.
But it is destructive of libertarian aims and objectives to label a
seeker after total freedom with the opprobrium of “anarchist.”
Economically speaking, all anarchists are, socialists, however they
may coalesce to the political spectrum. Economically speaking,
the libertarian is an individualist, believing in and supporting
the concept of private ownership, individual responsibility and
self-government.
