are quoting does indeed advocate governments when it literally says "Governments should exist to protect rights"?


If you are going to cherry pick a libertarian view and twist it out of context then don't post the entire quote.


Boaz and many other libertarians believe there should be a government. You do not. That is fine but those two differences are not subtle and one is not a waypoint to the other.


To insinuate one is a lesser formed version of the other is dismissive on your part. They are distinct in their conclusions.
