About the statement from the opening paragraph: "as if libertarians object to the state enforcing property rights" - why do libertarians accept state monopoly over the property rights industry, but disapprove of other state industries? If the basis of libertarianism is a moral one (such as the oft-cited non-aggression principle), isn't this an outright moral failing on the part of libertarians? Shouldn't they disapprove of all infringements upon property rights (taxation)?
