The Libertarian message needs to fail. It's pure ideology, without so much as a scintilla of practical experience as leavening. Like Communism, Libertarianism is based on how people should behave, rather than how they do behave. Never works.

Communists think people can work together in a commune and their honest caring government will be left alone by bad actors because well wouldn't it be nice if Mao didn't just declare you an enemy of the state and culturally enrich you.
Libertarians think people can work together in a territory and they will be left alone by bad actors because well wouldn't it be nice if Soros didn't import a million rapefugees to culturally enrich you.
Libertarian useful idiots should be put in the same gas chambers as Marxist uis. Run them round the clock.
