1998 September 4, T.Asquith, “Re: Booming Corporate Economy Brings Layoffs”, in talk.politics.libertarian[1] (Usenet):
I prefer to keep my feet on the ground and resist any attempt at change by either the libertopians or the utopian socialists.
1999 March 25, John Merrall, “Re: I can't consider anarchism anymore.”, in alt.politics.libertarian[2] (Usenet):
Since it is so meaningless, the Libertopians should all just shut up and try to do something more useful with their time.
2000 August 23, John Merrall, “Re: How a Libertarian Capitalist Became a Libertarian Socialist”, in alt.politics.libertarian[3] (Usenet):
I see. So libertopians are in favour of government passing laws in favour of business. Figgers.
2001 January 28, Scott Weiser, “Re: Tailgaiting - how to combat.”, in talk.politics.libertarian[4] (Usenet):
Thus, objectivists (and libertopians, and anarchists), by attempting to free themselves from the judgement of others in the community by claiming individual sovereignty and freedom of thought and action, also free themselves of any exterior moral constraint which society might impose to say that one or another act is "harmful."
2001 April 21, Scott Weiser, “Re: The GOP's Libertarian Problem”, in talk.politics.libertarian[5] (Usenet):
This tired old canard used ad nauseum[sic] that there is no such thing as"the people" or "the public" or "the public will" or "the public good" ie: the denial of any collective rights or collective powers or collective needs in a community, is merely ignorant denial of facts, usually done because any admission that a large group may have a good reason to impose it's collective will on an individual is anathema to libertopians.
2002 April 14, capricorn-1, “Re: The Draft”, in talk.politics.libertarian[6] (Usenet):
And there we have it the self centered Libertopian defined in one compound sentence. The ultimate narcissists.
Adjective: "(US, politics, derogatory) related to, characteristic of, or espousing (a utopian or critically flawed strain of) libertarianism"
2000 August 27, scat...@my-deja.com, “Re: Do YOU believe in bigger or smaller government?”, in talk.politics.libertarian[7] (Usenet):
Notwithstanding the fact that your wishing to give free rein to big business aligns you with Mussolini-types, I also limit my responses to Libertopian nutcases. :-)
2001 April 21, Scott Weiser, “Re: The GOP's Libertarian Problem”, in talk.politics.libertarian[8] (Usenet):
If they admit for a second that some larger group of people have the right to prevent some malfeasance on the part of an individual, their whole specious house of libertopian cards comes crashing down around their heads, so they just deny, deny, deny...but it just makes them look stupid.
2002 November 3, Jim McCulloch, “Re: # American Free Press is Dead”, in talk.politics.libertarian[9] (Usenet):
Both the libertopian and the Marxist view fall into that category of things that are true because the true believer believes them, but not otherwise, there being not a scintilla of evidence that in an actual world, such a thing would happen.
2004, James Hughes, Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human Future, page xviii:
The present chaos and misery of societies without functioning governments show the absurdity of the libertopian fantasy of freedom from government: We can only be free, prosperous, equal and safe under effective, accountable government.
In U.S. history, 'libertopian' socialist enclaves were founded repeatedly and failed every time. Equity requires abatement of nuisance, and greedy rotten capitalists (working class freemen) will get stuck with the bill for cleaning up ansoc disasters, food and shelter for survivors, environmental reclamation, etc. Pray that ansocs don't experiment with nuclear power. One Chernobyl was enough.
2009 August 9, Topaz, “Re: 10 Greatest Libertarian Science Fiction Stories”, in talk.politics.libertarian[10] (Usenet):
The libertopian alternative would be perhaps a more glittering society, but also a crueler one.
He mentions the libertopian approach of a mass defection from current societal arrangements but considers this highly impractical if not fundamentally flawed.
2017, Ian Stoner, "Humans Should Not Colonize Mars", Journal of the American Philosophical Association, Volume 3, Issue 3, Fall 2017, page 339:
The persistent nonexistence of a long-planned libertarian colony of seasteading rafts (Robinson 2014), to pick one example from the list of unexecuted libertopian schemes, suggests that even among those who aver a Zubrinian obligation to experiment with living that obligation is a weak one.
