*May 23, 2022 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Paul C. Jeffries's comment.*

Paul It's not opting out, it's concentrating forces.  If libertarian ideology is to ever have a broader cultural impact, it needs concrete wins.  Most people have the imagination of a brick, and can't picture much beyond the status quo.  I'm constantly challenged to point to an extant libertarian society.  I can point to successful libertarian policies in isolation, but I can't point to a single polity that combines them all in a single region.  I doubt even that is sufficient to win more broadly, but I don't think we stand a chance at all without it.
