Could it be possible I'm a libertarian?
No, none of that has anything to do with regulations! You can buy, sell and consume anything at all you want for any price you are willing to pay with anybody who is willing to trade, so long as everyone consents and everyone is fully informed. Regulations attempt to restrict this framework.
I see what you mean, forgive me Void as this is a learning experience for me. The role of the government in your Utopia is to maintain some kind of order, correct? I would associate that with regulation.
Your mistake was relatively common, it's the fact that you've assimilated the new definitions quickly that is impressive.
I refuse to propose a Utopia and will not work towards a society confined by my individual values, I have no desire to drive other individuals towards my ideal city of glass, steel and trees where there is music being played by speakers on public streets, where everyone is fit and healthy and where everyone values reason and science etc, all I propose is that everyone should be free to pursue their own values so long as they force nobody else to act against their will in the process - If this involves people building ugly brick buildings in the middle of a city square or refusing to play music from their premises or eating too much and being fat and ugly then so be it, it's none of my business to tell them otherwise.
