# Issac Trotts I don't think libertarians can get rid of the gangsters...

*February 3, 2025 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Issac Trotts's comment.*

Issac Trotts I don't think libertarians can get rid of the gangsters any time soon.  At < 5% of the population, we're far too few to win against the authoritarians on the left and the right. I think the best we can do is concentrate enough of us in a small defensible region such that the expected gains of attacking us are not worth the costs.  We can also tell the truth, and apply the same ethical standards.
