Self determination, equal justice, and mutual aid are the core of libertarianism.

  I have an acquaintance who leans hard Libertarian.
  Lots of complaining about the "D" and "R" voters---loves to point out the folly of each political party---and he's not wrong, BUT---
  He never offers a viable solution. I go to the Libertarian site(s) and the same thing.
  If a third or fourth or fifth party is ever going to matter, it's not on the voters to "just not vote D or R."
  It's on those parties to show us they can work, in meaningful ways to dethrone the two powerhouses.

  Right from the site:
  "Libertarians believe that, in politics, liberty is the most important value. Almost everyone wants freedom for themselves, but a libertarian also seeks to protect and expand the freedom of others.
  When people are free, we can create a more just, more prosperous, safer, and better world for everyone."
  Sounds great. But how do we get to that point? Do people believe that humans will do the right thing once everyone is free? People like Donald Trump and all the way down to the guy in the bank, or the used car salesman will always exist and take advantage of anyone else.
  Maybe I need it explained to me in clearer terms. Looks great on paper, but...

  @Sfwmson Let's start with the public library model and expand on that.

    The Spectacular Implosion of the Libertarian Party
    
    from Tim Murphy
    
    Eight years ago, America’s third-largest party had its best-ever showing. Then came the fallout.

  @nsarwark How so? AFAICT:
  A) the poster was the NHLP
  B) you associate with the LP
  C) you support, or have supported, the NHLP/FSP
  Have you recanted your support?
