That's about all Libertarians stand for that actually distinguishes them from other peeps, and it is not a winsome politic.

Perhaps they stay in power because they're the majority.
I don't identify with either party. What I'd like to see happen is repeal of federal laws starting with the latest first and going back to and including the National Firearms Act of 1934. Government reduction would follow. You can't just whack the Dept of Education in half, if there is going to be a functioning DOEd.

What the hell does "sector 2814 via the ring" mean? Does that refer to one of those decoder toys in a cereal box?
Probably the first thing to clear up is the difference between Libertarian and libertarian. Libertarian is a political party. A libertarian is one who holds to libertarian ideas. I once belonged to the Libertarian Party, when it was state-based, yes, it would have a convention to nominate a candidate for president, but it was organized at the state level. As such you heard more about state politics, Texas had a great newletter, and you weren't innundated for requestions for donations. When it went national, I dropped out.
Anyway, I consider myself a libertarian...sort of less lately, but still. And to be clear, I consider myself a libertarian anarchist, an anarcho-capitalist or, better, a free-market anarchist. Ask me anything.

I doubt I am a libertarian. I don't have a problem with government . I have a problem with how we use government. I think everything government needs to do should be done as locally as possible.
War is a federal job. Treaties and tariffs as well.
Major highways and protection of unincorporated area is state jobs.
Local police, welfare, subsidized housing or anything like that should be decided by city, town or county government

That bottom-up organization of society seems to me preferrable to the top-down, centrally planned government we now have.
In order to get people involved I would start at the level of the neighborhood, with those forming associations and sending representatives to the next level of town or section of a city, on up through county, state, federal.
