> They also discovered what happens in a libertarian world when someone stronger than you wants your stuff.

How is this in any way unique to libertarians?

Maybe take a look at civil forfeiture abuses in the US?

Not to mention other county where the rule of law is more of a polite suggestion.

It's not unique but only apt as libertarianism advocates for dominance of the strongest

[zo1]

No it doesn't. You're projecting your own value, interpretation and criticism of libertarian concepts to make it mean "dominance of the strongest". It's no more the case than with all other forms of government, including the majestic and noble "democracy".

Where?

[anon84873628]

You seem to have conflated libertarianism with some other philosophy like the Ayn Rand stuff

Can I own a town and buy my own police force or not ?

[anon84873628]

Sure, it depends on the disposition of the polities around you and how strong the police/defense force is. You could also run it with any system of government you like, libertarian or otherwise.

A lot of people in this thread are laughing at the Liberland folks for being doomed to fail, not realizing that "might makes right", etc. Well how would we be reacting if they became terrorists instead? Defended the area with homemade bombs? What if Jeff Bezos built a private army and decided to secede from the US?

The morality or intellectual interest of a people's claim to a territory (along with their chosen system of government) is completely orthogonal to their ability to enforce it. For the other end of the spectrum just look at Ukraine, as others here have pointed out.

And btw I'm personally not even a libertarian...
