Their party is where libertarians have to actually put their fantasies and theories into political language and positions.

In real life, it really does look silly, no wonder it embarasses you guys.

“Their party is where libertarians have to actually put their fantasies and theories into political language and positions.”

So, if I create a party called the “Conservative Party”, then create a platform that espouses positions that conservatives don’t actually all agree on, I can go around saying that “conservatism” is defined by the platform I made, rather than the pre-existing definition of the word?

That’s pretty much what you are saying, right?

“In real life, it really does look silly, no wonder it embarasses you guys.”

I’ll say it again, I’m not a libertarian. No matter how many times you folks try to pretend that I am one, it will not magically transform me into one.
