[[Category:What Is Wrong With Libertarianism|300]]

{{DES | des = Libertarians use freedom as a [[glittering generality]] of [[propaganda]].  A freedom consists of an ability to do something without a human or natural obstacle.  Libertarians redefine freedom as being unobstructed by humans.  Either definition of freedom prohibits obstructions by humans.  If a freedom is enforced, it is a right (otherwise it is merely a claim) and the prohibition of human obstruction is an enforced involuntary duty.  Every enforced freedom creates these unfreedoms.  A capability is a freedom where the ability is also a right: there is an enforced involuntary duty to enable in addition to the duty not to obstruct.}}
