I think the best country I’ve investigated on that is the UAE. Unless you own a foreign bank or an import business, you’re not paying anything except the occasional sales tax…

Very well, but please understand that if your political philosophy openly places low priority on the conditions for my survival and flourishing, then it cannot expect me to place a higher priority on its’ constituencies’ flourishing. If you associate with enemies who can grievously hurt me, then please do not be offended if I associate with enemies who could grieviously hurt you. I don’t like this situation, but I will do what I can with it without further shame. If libertarianism was ever willing to institutionally guarantee (by written or unwritten constitution) the rights of ethnic or cultural minorities de facto as well as de jure, then I would feel differently.

That said, you duel fairly, and I’ll trust that the devil is well represented. What do you wish to know about New Zealand? I’ve not a clue as regards property taxes, as I have difficulty imagining trusting a city enough to become tied to property, and have generally related to landlords as class enemies. You could try writing to the Libertarianz, if you relate well to Objectivists.

It’s true that I don’t think that the issue you mentioned have anything to do with libertarianism as a political philosophy and I think there are a lot of issues int he world that need far more immediate attention by libertarians.

But beyond that, whatever anybody wants to do is fine by me.

My impression was that this state of affairs was not to your liking. If I am wrong in this, then I offer my sincere apology. If you support a society where (noncoercive) social standards promote respectful acceptance of everyone regardless of race, sex, sexuality, bohemian lifestyle, etc., then I’d love to see you here, and be happy to answer any questions you have about this country.

As for the new order:

I would have little trouble finding a friendly lawyer and know individuals with positive personal experiences with the Human Rights Commission. Look upon my works ye mighty and despair.

Of course I would prefer a society in which organised opposition to premodern tribal heirarchies is maintained by libertarian means. But no such society exists at the moment, and no libertarian society exists which doesn’t enable nonstate oppression. And politics exists for human individuals, not human individuals for politics. I’ll defend a world I find worth living in, against libertarians if necessary. And I must say that at this point I’d find a deep personal satisfaction in seeing some paleolibertarian landlord or employer fall under the Commission’s scrutiny. Oh, I’d technically disapprove on principle, but emotionally I’d like to see them given a Palestinian hanging. Or you can do unbearable things to people with nothing but a bare hand.

But then, New Zealand does not practice open torture.
