In a real anarchist society, there can be kibbutzs and there can be shopping districts - without coercive government people can live as they please. What needs to be recognized on the theoretical level though is that for both to exist there must a macro level of private property.

At first glimpse, this may all look to be true. All three of them heavily criticize the government and in some ways want to greatly limit our government. Sadly, with more research, it is easy to see it's not. Ron Paul is a social conservative before anything else. His votes against women's right to abortion, against gay marriage and personally against gay civil unions show this. These are all social conservative views, not a view of a true libertarian of any sort. Secondly, Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky are progressive liberals. They support Unions, which Ron Paul has consistently voted against. They both support universal health-care, Ron Paul does not. They both believe global warming is a huge threat to our survival, Ron Paul does not. Ron Paul wants environmental regulations done on a state level. Of course, his state of Texas is first in air pollution. I apologize if I come off as a bit aggressive, but your analyses of Ron Paul is just plain naive. This is not even mention your over simplified comparison of libertarian socialists vs. libertarian capitalists. Ron Paul is not a true libertarian, so it's not even worth getting in to.

I've managed to turn a number of people on to Ron Paul who would normally default to a democratic president. It's been very helpful to supplement my following of Ron Paul, and arguing in his case, with Chomsky readings. Best post yet.
