Every State Libertarian Party is staffed by the cathedral. Not that it really matters. Libertarian ideas are stronger than libertarian candidates. It is an ideology of less government, after all
It's always been a fantasy party that's been co-opted by the elite and crazies. Scratch 5 libertarians and you will get 7 unworkable policies and 9 insane beliefs.
"I will support smaller government, weed, public nudity and the letter K stricken from the alphabet..."
LP has been fringe for a long time. I think that the libertarian movement's most recent high water mark, so to speak, was Ron Paul's run for president. But the current LP is as obscure as it usually is.
Like I said, it doesnt really matter. More important then libertarian candidates is libertarian ideas spreading among the masses. Can't have people voting against their own interests if they know better.
Some people need to be ruled, sure. I don't think libertarianism is in line with totalitarianism, so any one wishing to not rule themselves should be permitted to live as peasants.
Though I think a larger problem than bad government is that governments are not allowed to fail. A failed government basically means all its citizens die, and that is unacceptable in large scale society. Since failure is not permitted, there's no incentive to fix bad systems or for any new system to be well thought out. So I'd propose a severe de-scaling into citystates that self-govern - many will fail, and death is inevitable, but that's only a problem if you cannot leave a dying society (either as a refugee to another, or as a new settler).
I believe that such a trial by fire is necessary to discover what works and what does not work - and perhaps more importantly provide recordable evidence to outsiders that is convincing enough to influence how they handle their own governance.
Let all the villains and perverts build their own nests. If they survive, then it proves their merit (or that a foreign power has money to burn).
"Libertarian party of Texas" in particular . It was also "Libertarian party of Texas" last time when they were complaining about the idea of making the major sites like Twitter and Facebook actually allow free speech. They arent real libertarians.
I actually like a lot of the core libertarian principles and I generally have similar first principles as the origin of the libertarian views. However.... Big L Libertarians screw those guys man they suck mostly except a few xD. They really take things in a wild direction that doesn't even logically flow. Not saying little l libertarian views are perfect...but still...
Fuck the lolbertarians.
They are spineless cucks.
Stop trying to dissolve my country you fucking Koch Brothers shill.

Koch Brothers have been funding the Libertarian Parties for decades.
You hit the nail on the head.
If you think big business hate regulations you're a bigger tool than I originally thought. Go look up regulatory capture and get back to me.
What we really need is common sense profit control! hahaha. Fucking idiot.

Not every one any more. Kentucky, New Hampshire, and Michigan are the best at the moment, and I hear Colorado is planning some deep based levels.

Does not know the difference between a "national anthem" and a "personal theme song", nor what the purpose of a national anthem is.

Most libertarians are actually just libertines in denial.

LP Texas is in dire need of some MiCauc. Don't worry, it's on the way.
