This one was always adequate about capitalism. It's the rest that is problem. Do remember that libertarians are completely delusional in that they criticize capitalism but see even more capitalism as a cure.

Yes. Many years ago, I had a hot summer affair with Ayn Rand. Moaning with pleasure, I read "Atlas Shrugged" through (including 181-pages long programmatic monologue of John Galt). When I finished reading, I looked around, and said to myself, "No f... way!"

Historically, that was my turning point towards anarchism.
