This is why I eventually abandoned American-style libertarianism. It sounds so great in theory, but in practice everything is very different.
At some point, I just gave up and realized that the theory must be wrong because it can't predict actual outcomes.
Civilized, cultured people need less government proportionately.
Uncivilized, barbaric people, need more government.
So anarchy or libertarianism only works when the people and society as a whole have become sufficiently developed, civilized, cultured. That's the conclusion I've come to
