I just Google’d “libertarianism for kids” and got 1 result!
Now I guess it’ll be 2 results. I’ve done my part.
fyi - “socialism for kids” has ten results
It’s in the genes!
(Practically) all parents tell their children:
-
not to lie (fraud),
-
not to beat others,
-
not to steal the belongings of others, no matter what the beliefs or handicaps or etnicity of those other individuals are.
Every parent is very well aware of the concept of negative rights, at least instinctively if not consciously, and works hard to educate his/her offspring about them (and thank God, or rather Evolution, for that!)
Shit, all kids are libertarians.
They have not yet absorbed the ad hoc morality required to support the state. They seek patterns and consistency.
contrariwise, in your typical family its 'to each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities"
Someone around here had this pic in their sig. Sums it up nicely:
Even then they know the difference between sharing and stealing.
one hopes, one hopes
