My summation:
The radical liberal project was about human flourishing through individual freedom and social cooperation. The right to be a nonviolent ogre was merely a logical, uninteresting implication.

Is someone finding his way towards the anti-capitalism way of supporting freed markets?
Great essay. The piece is bound to go over the heads of the "brutalists". For some of our number, the idea that libertarianism should be more than just a commitment to the NAP is tantamount to declaring that there should be legislation against odious speech. Any society is going to be largely governed by norms, to argue that libertarianism should have nothing to say about what those norms are seems patently ridiculous. In fact, I'd argue that even those libertarians who most loudly proclaim thinness make proclamations about preferred norms.
