At face value, Libertarianism is an appealing philosophy. However, in its current (American) incarnation Libertarian thought drowns in its own contradictions. 

Modern Libertarianism is increasingly synonymous with a winner-takes-all mentality that has the potential to erode the social edifice upon which our economic prosperity is built. Far from giving everyone their even choice in life, this ideology is actually a smokescreen for the world's biggest "smash and grab" burglary. It's a screen behind which some of are free to extract limitless profits from society without contributing their fair share in return.
