> Corruption can happen anywhere but libertarian governments would be among the last to have it.

which, as pointed out, is completely hypothetical and additionally defies common sense. burden is on libertarians to prove this extraordinary claim. unfortunately, most non-libertarians don't know/care enough about the whole issue to even demand such proof which is why we are stuck with all this "soft" libertarianism roaming about causing great damage.

My claim is: highly objective criminal-code/constitution ==> low corruption. Do you disagree with this ? Any couter examples.

Note: "jailtime += 20yrs if skin_color==black" is objective but not libertarian.
