There's a couple data points for libertardians that need to be pointed out repeatedly.
First, and largest, libertarian is too simple to have never been tried even before someone coined the term.
Where is this vast, successful, society living in accordance with the non-aggression principle? Did you realize that a feudal system can be created within the libertarian framework?
The next largest problem is actually the same problem that socialism has; it doesn't scale.
At the monkey level both socialism and libertarianism work. Once you don't know everyone personally, they fall apart.
I mean, if it's so obviously easy and simple, why isn't the Free State Project a shining beacon of freedom and liberty?
I, too, want to live in utopia. Sadly, it doesn't exist and cannot be created.
The best we can hope for is maximizing liberty and pushing for the ideal can get us more of it; but way too many libertardians are absolutists.
When you go "all-or-nothing" you get nothing. Every. Single. Time.
PS: For the Rands: You really want me to respect you? Stop running as Republicans.
