Libertarian's wet dream

Please don't conflate Objectivism and Libertarianism. They're different, and Ayn Rand hated Libertarians. Objectivism is all about selfishness (maximize personal benefit), whereas Libertarianism is all about minimizing harm between people (initiation of force, NAP).

Let's use an example of someone creating a dangerous product and someone gets hurt. An Objectivist would say "oops!" whereas the Libertarian would say the seller should be legally liable for damages and criminally liable if they knew about the danger and didn't properly disclose/prevent it, otherwise it's an initiation of force.

Objectivists believe in maximum freedom. Libertarians believe your freedoms end where mine begin. They're different.
