In Rothbard's view of parenthood, "the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights". Thus, Rothbard stated that parents should have the legal right to let any infant die by starvation and should be free to engage in other forms of child neglect. However, according to Rothbard, "the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children". In a fully libertarian society, he wrote, "the existence of a free baby market will bring such 'neglect' down to a minimum".
If you assume that no one ever has any obligation to help each other and that markets always produce the best results, then this is the natural conclusion to that. It's what happens if you shut out all evidence, analysis, emotions, and humanity, in favor of insane dogma about no one having any obligations to each other ever and capitalism always being the most efficient system. That's what libertarians are really talking about when they claim to be "principled." It's a cult.
