Fair critiques. The most plausible path I see for libertarianism is opt-in zones like charter cities. This allows people that are comfortable with status quo to remain so (just don't move), let's true believers and pragmatists opt in, but also provides real world experimentation so the results of libertarian policies can be examples for other polities. Less time spent persuading, more time spent building.
I couldn't disagree more.... if people don't want freedom but want to be "protected" by big brother, ok, it's their business, time will tell... but that's not really the problem with libertarian philosophy... And changing ideas just to make it sexier for the masses? that's not really the way to go.
I talk until I’m blue in the face telling them that until they can elect candidates or put statewide ballot proposals up to make changes it’s a wasted vote. They get mad.

curious Erik are you writing this from a left or right critique? But largely true
