I find this libertarian stuff to be quite interesting. But questions do arise.

First, the free market. How does it differ from the “free” market that we have today?

I mean, sure we can blame our government, but in most cases they are duped by interest groups. Which are also representing the market.

The issues as i see it are that the corporations don’t have an interest in sustaining nature. But rather in keeping and getting more share holders. And share holders main interest is getting paid now.

Do you truly believe that this would change in a libertarian society?

This as i see it is the same issue as with the anarchist society. We want to believe that people would arise to the freedom. But in reality will probably just be oppression of the weak, as the human nature is more about exploiting the environment than to help it thrive.

And as a bottom note, about your statement about sweden a couple podcast ago. Sweden is not a free country. As for gun license, its hard to get. And for getting a rifle you will need to have two separated and approved safes. One for the rifle and one for the ammo. So using a legal firearm in a defense situation is almost impossible. Also defending your family in your home might get you in jail if they think you used more force than required.

If your caught with illegal drugs you might get forced into treatment or jailed.

We also had a case with a lady slightly over middle age with MS being put to jail without medication for successfully growing and medicating her self with cannabis (after realizing that what the medical industry could offer didn’t help or gave her way to much side effects).

the swedish government always have the right to buy your property for the price it sees fit.

As for being a democratic country is also up for questioning as we got a somewhat racist party voted in the latest election. And its not they who are undemocratic, as all the rest of the parties pretend that it didn’t happen, wont listen to what they say. And bullies them in every way possible.

And were also turning more and more into a police state.

I guess i could go on forever, but thats at least a taste of sweden for you.
