The destruction of government secrecy is the Holy Grail of libertarianism. It would be a death blow to governmental power and a mighty step toward the real objective of the libertarian movement: A kind of modern feudalism; hereditary privilege as the primary determinant in human affairs, with unfettered corporate power as its primary instrument.

Libertarians are modern day wannabe robber barons. They refuse to admit, however, that if their ideal world came to pass, they’d all be expendable and working in the fields for their actual feudal overlords.
