i view politics as a struggle for two visions— individual rights versus collective responsibilities.
ideally there needs to be a balance between individual rights and collective responsibilities in the social contract as reflected in the various government jurisdictions.
perhaps there will never be an ultimate bright line between the laws reflecting the conflicting principles.
it does not mean imho that we throw out one wholesale in favor of the other.
libertarians favor individual rights. where they go too far may be in addictive drugs and open borders.
communists favor collective rights. they also go too far, but they have a point where national defense and tariffs are concerned.
if one is allowed to control the other then we might be doomed as the roman empire was during its fall.
Ideologues, such as libertarians, are so wed to their ideologies that they value consistency more than practicality and will err on one side or the other.
There are all sorts of people who are "libertarian-ish" nowadays because of how bloated and corrupt our government has become, and I sympathize with them, but I still can't see joining forces with them.
