Well, THAT really stunned me.
I had seen this spoof video before, but only embedded on some webpage so I din't see the companion links to this Mises-Institute piece and another article at Reason magazine that are posted on the youtube page.
Therefore I wasn't aware that it was a response to an ACTUAL article promoting this kind of nonsense.
I thought it was just a an apt caricature of the the general nonsense coming from the more extreme libertarians. I really didn't think it possible that anyone would actually go so far as to hail the general anarchy and violence of Somalia as a positive model for a society without central government.
This is completely and utterly insane.
