About

A libertarian utopia or libertarian paradise is either of the following:

  1. a hypothetical society in which marketist (i.e. US libertarian) ideas are taken to their logical conclusion
  2. any actual society or group which has substantially adopted (or was founded upon) such principles

The second definition tends to be sarcastic, since such societies invariably degenerate into corrupt hell-holes – despite frequent marketist claims that such principles will inevitably lead to a happier, more egalitarian and economically just society.
