The reason libertarianism is a consistent political failure is that the advocates all seem to have stupid spots in their brains, which light up at exactly the wrong times.

This is one of those times.

The reason libertarianism is a political failure is because the main motivation for the “movement” is “I want what I want, and I want everyone to leave me alone”.

Political movements are built by selfless true believers who are willing to sacrifice to see it through. If the only reason you’re part of a movement is self-interest, the minute you face difficult opposition that requires much work to over come, the inconvenience of it offsets what you hoped to gain and you give up.
