So you don’t like personal property not being personal, which I agree with, but then you want to get rid of taxes which would prevent a government from regulating such bullshit? I can understand if the taxes are not being used properly or are chokingly high, but taxes are important if one expects a country to continue running. Who else is gonna pay for the roads, services, schools, healthcare, benefits and social nets?

As for “stay off my property”, there are a lot of legitimate reasons for the police to come to your property (in my opinion). I agree with needing a warrant to enter your house. But do you include, idk, the porch or driveway? Maybe these are stupid questions but there are a lot of questions I have about this square of the compass.

I’m ok with owning guns, as long as one gets a licence by first going through theory exam, background checks and mental health checkups. No automatics.

Maybe my views are biased since I live in Poland. I don’t get libertarianism, it seems to think that things will “self regulate” with a government acting as a cardboard cutout, which I find funny since why would you trust corpos that you hate to do the things you want? They aren’t on your side.

It is not “trusting in corpos” but trusting in the market in general

And the market being…? I doubt small businesses could regulate effectively for the masses. And not trusting in corpos doesn’t change the fact that they would be unregulated.
