It's sad that libertarians / ancaps are bullied out of the real world to do their experiment. These kind of experiments should be done on land.

What? No one has "bullied" libertarians and ancaps out of anywhere, the choice to construct this settlement as it is and to move there is entirely voluntary.

Uhuh. Though they just call that "thinking".

There is no "real world" form of utopianism. It's a dangerous adolescent form of thinking which requires purifying one's environment until it is All Good according to a single set of criteria.

All society-level attempts at this measure their results in millions of deaths.

By that standard we should have stuck with absolute monarchy. (you might want to think it over. I 'm sure the ancient romans said the same things, as did imperial russia)

Yeah, nothing worse than believers of "greed is good" who literally have no concern for society at large being told that their ideas are bad and that we don't care much for them.
