The Libertarian Trap

As far as I can tell, the Libertarian Party is actually a very cleverly designed intellectual trap.

Some people are close to coming to the conclusion that government itself is the problem. The Libertarian Party holds out the false hope that, via voting, the government will voluntarily decrease its own size. However, you cannot achieve meaningful reforms by voting. All voting activists are merely slaves petitioning their masters to be less cruel.

The Libertarian Party is designed to waste the time of people frustrated with big government. People are tricked into voting and campaigning for the Libertarian party rather than doing something productive and useful. Government itself is the problem. Government must be eliminated. You can't lobby the government to solve the problems created by government. It's like solving your problems with a bully by politely asking him to stop beating you.

The only reform that has a nonzero chance of succeeding is an agorist revolution.
