I am a Jamaican and also a libertarian, and for most of my life those two things sat together comfortably. Clear the field, get the state out of the way, and let people rise or fall on their own talent and effort. That was the whole of my creed on this subject, and I held it for years without much testing. Growing up somewhere opportunity really was scarce, and where the state really did get in the way, made the theory feel obvious rather than naive. I no longer hold it, at least not in the form most conservatives and libertarians still do, and I think it is worth saying why.
