libertarianism can't stop degeneracy, usury, and , and mass immigration to their own land....
Cucked ideology

Is it the purpose of politics to promote virtue or to protect liberty?
The moral issues are addressed by the faithful preaching of the gospel. Otherwise, you're talking about morality-at-the-point-of-a-sword (theocracy).
The others are addressed with robust private property laws and the right of self-defense.
We all support morality at the point of a sword to one extent or another. All OT civil laws were exactly that. The question is how much of the moral law ought to be codified into civil law for the restraint of sin that the gospel may go forth?
It's much less than most "conservatives" would have us believe, IMO.
Unless you are a full anarcho-capitalist that wants the state abolished entirely, then you are theonomic to some extent. It's merely a question of where you draw the line.
this is a little dense, your brain is overheating.
every law is moral. including zoning laws.
It’s to stack fiat

No.
the civil magistrate is to REWARD the good as well as punish evil
what do you think that means? doesn't sound like protecting much of anything.
No ideology can stop those things by fiat. That's why I am a libertarian. I understand the futility of politics to do any good. Limitations on power, free speech, private property, and hard money allow people the freedom to flourish. Then the best cultures will be able to win.
If you value those things you are concerned about, you can pursue them. Hans-Hermann Hoppe answers the question of immigration of people who you, and others in your group with which you would freely associate, would prefer to keep out. It's called physical removal. Entire fliurishing counties and other areas on which you associate could be free from them, and you can prevent them from aggressing against you via means described by many an Austrian or Chicago school economist. It is practical because it doesn't pretend to have all the answers through government policy.
