I have to admit, if you look at Libertarianism in pure form, it means no government - and as much as we’re not crazy about government, I have a really tough time figuring out who a society can exist without it - and I certainly cannot think of any examples of such.

In my younger days, I had debates with Libertarians. I asked them how do you build highways withing the government having eminent domain. They said that you have to negotiate with each landowner, and if someone won’t sell, you have to give up or figure out a way around them. And that would be just great, a highway between 2 cities 100 miles apart would have to be 400 miles, due to holdouts.

“I had debates”

Government of a free country is primarily about establishing order. There is no freedom in anarchy.

Watch the first scenes in “Conan the Barbarian” and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Libertarians are more likely to believe the purpose of federal government is to defend the borders, deliver the mail, and leave us otherwise alone. What you describe is anarchism.
