I had a phone call from my friend Ed Joyce this morning & one of the things he said to me is that he reckoned the internet gives a misrepresentation of libertarianism.
I said that it felt as if the anarcho-capitalism strain of libertarianism had become the far more dominant strain of libertarianism & he said that that might be the case online but not elsewhere.
He actually challenged me as to when had a last met up with a group of libertarians & I said I couldn’t remember & I can’t remember the last time I met up with a group of libertarians.
Obviously Ed being a georgist is going to favour there still being government & so might very well say that the small government strain is more dominant when it comes to the world offline.

I thought I’d ask folk here what they thought.
