REVOLUTION

A freind of mine comments
that libertarians are too
individualistic to organize
a revolution of any sort.
They all insist on going 
their own way. 
               
My first thought:
"A libertarian revolution          Thinking about Heinlein's
would look like a social           _I Will Fear No Evil_:
collapse."                         A throw away detail about
                                   lawless zones that the
                                   government has official
                                   renounced any control
                                   over.  People go there
                                   to gamble, watch risque
                                   night club acts, and so    HEINLEIN
                                   on.                        COVENTRY
               
                                   Another connection: _How I
                                   found freedom in an unfree
                                   world_...  living as an
                                   anarchist in a world that         ANARCHY
                                   doesn't believe in
                                   anarchy.
               
                                   And isn't that the theme of
                                   much of Heinlein?
               
                                   Alternately you might think
                                   about the ending of
                                   Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_.      RAND
