The libertarian philosophy carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction. It is NOT the opposite of Marxism, but a more subtle means of disseminating the goals of Cultural Marxism and leftist ideology.

If you think that these acts should be criminalized without injury, then point me to a passage that spells out what their punishment should be.
