Libertarianism is a brand of utopianism and not in accordance with Biblical truths. We are not perfect and as such will never act in ways of perfection. When given the opportunity, usually, one human being will act in a way which will benefit himself the most. And sometimes, it will be in a way which is harmful to another which is why libertarianism is not workable just the same as communism is not workable.

I disagree, a lot of the libertarian philosophy is based on the fact that humans cannot be trusted to rule over other humans BECAUSE they are flawed, thus keeping government small and limited in it’s reach is paramount if you want to keep the citizen free of tyranny.

However sometimes Libertarians act like they wanna return to the Articles of Confederation which was very flawed. I think we need to De-centralize a LOT of our government except for the parts defined in the constitution such as National Defense.

One can be a Fiscal Conservative, Social libertarian, and Hawkish on National Defense. But Paul is just off his rocker.
