that made no sense at all. Libertarians don’t win because they present an unpopular vision of politics. How can you possibly be elected if you are saying that you aren’t going to give people things? Liberty doesn’t sell. Many Republicans shout about limited government, but can’t spit out a coherent sentence about why it should be limited. It’s really pretty simple on one level: the government should do those things it can do more efficiently than the market, and leave everything else alone. The parallel to Marxism doesn’t exist.
That is perfectly in line with Adam Smith's view in The Wealth of Nations of the proper functions of government in a capitalist society.
Unfortunately, over the past couple of decades, the RINOs have sold their economic souls to the ghosts of David Ricardo, the hypocrite who preached Free Trade, all the while manipulating markets to enrich himself and buy himself a seat in Parliament. His policies devastated the British economy for much of the 1800s, and now the US economy is plunging toward the abyss for exactly the same reasons.
