Reddit reviews Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950-1980

This is why people hate libertarians. Why must we always reject society and revel in being outcasts. Why do we allow idiot faux racist and sexist teenagers who browse 4chan and who want to seem edgy and cool represent our movement on youtube and reddit. Even worse, why do serious libertarians always make illogical rights based NAP arguments instead of logical, utilitarian consequentialist arguments.

Libertarians need to clean their house. For one thing, while we should reject the establishment, we should not embrace all anti establishment groups. We need to be populist egalitarians. Objectivist and NAP arguments based on rights and not what would benefit the majority of people should be rejected. Anyone who says that spending is wrong because "taxation is theft" should be dismissed as intellectually lazy. Our opponents are not evil enslavers hell bent on oppressing everybody or idiots we should condescend to (I mean liberals who post on r/politics, not people at the top like Clinton, Obama, and Kissinger), but people who are misguided on how to help society. We have the same goals as them, but different means.

Some good books that provide utilitarian arguments against state intervention.
