-- Now you need to work on the irrational, ludicrous view you have about libertarians supporting authoritarian governments.

I could be described as a libertarian (i.e. a classical liberal), and am a supporter of monarchy as the kind of government historically most favorable to liberalism. Technically it collapsed because it was too liberal. Kings can't rule with draconian aplomb of republics, they are theoretically centralized but thats not the same thing as authoritarian.

Nothing you've written refutes my point on libertarian principles.

I suppose not, but still I can see how someone could get the impression that as a libertarian i.e. classical liberal, I support authoritarian government, because I a way I do. I just support a seemingly contradictory limited authoritarian system.
