I think it’s important to point out that locking people up for using drugs is not a libertarian position; it’s a conservative position.
Yeh but paying for the police to lock up drug users with private money is libertarian
How is that libertarian?
I think the idea/joke is that the police are effectively privatized by being privately funded and carring out the rules of their funders.
I think the idea is that libertarianism is basically a milder form of anarcho capitalism, and ancaps believe in a world without any government. The only “police” would be private armed guards who go entirely unchecked—except by other private armed guards. Locking up “undesirables” is totally something that would happen in ancapistan.
