Preach. Libertarianism is a mind virus. All viable societies have elements of both individualism and communalism. Maggie Thatcher brightened when an interviewer "got it" saying: So society doesn't really exist? Mags: Yes!

How does society change an invalid's shitty diaper? Society is a concept. An individual has no more of a right to health care than an individual has a right to a blow job. At the bottom of it, you only have individuals. They are either acting in their own self interest in a voluntary relationship, or they are behaving under threat, overt or covert, of violence.
