Libertarians are why the Tragedy of the Commons exists. Well, at least theoretically. Because every successful commons has be heaviy regulated to prevent over use and rent-seeking bahavior of lib bros.

Libertarian ideologues of the ilk of the Vienna School view the Free Market as some mystical natural state of being that humanity must strive to achieve, a sort of economic ecotope in which Government Tampering is tantamount the Original Sin, setting us all on the Road to Serfdom.

Which is of course horseshit. The Market is a human institution that is supposed to function for the benefit of all, not just the investors.
