Abstract

Libertarianism has defects in the principle of transfer, the principle of self ownership, the principle of initial possession of justice, the principle of supremacy of freedom, the theory of mutual benefit and the philosophical basis of libertarianism. Libertarianism ignores equality, ignores others, replaces justice with freedom, and emphasizes absolute property rights. Its theory is based on the atomic individual and extends the priority of free choice from physical to value.

Keywords
