Marxists and libertarians share a similar conceit in that purists in both camps are convinced that government is evil and unnecessary.
The greatest difference is, marxists had almost a full century to test their foolishness to abject failure, and libertarians are still looking for the opportunity.
Conservative Republicans, on the other hand, have a wiser, more healthy and realistic understanding of the limited strengths and pervasive limitations of government.
It is liberals and progressives who believe government is the source of all rights and the healer of all ills. Not quite as foolish as unbridled libertarianism or pure marxism, but quite foolish enough.
Wrong. Just plain simply wrong.

Sounds like you've got the conceits that you accuse others of having. And a buttload of hypocracy to go with it.
Congratulations -- you've somehow surpassed the idiocy threshhold already established on this thread by Howie66... no small accomplishment.
Libertarians, like most of the Founders, believe government is a necessary evil, and its powers should be kept to a minimum. They know a government needs to exist. This is different from anarchy or socialism.

You're confusing anarchists with libertarians. Libertarians want limited government. Anarchists want no government. Distinguish their philosophies more carefully next time.
