Libertarians work within the current system and generally believe there would be thriving by limiting the state, getting their guy in power and setting guideposts.
The issue that most anarchists have with libertarianism (most come from that path initially) is that you can put up the fences for the state, but eventually there will be politicians removing the fence pole by pole when they need to squeeze through their agendas…and you end up back on the merry go round of limiting controls again.
Also, libertarianism will never capture our current system IMO. All that it’s good for is slow down the creeping of the state. But they will still creep.
Anarchy isn’t likely something I will see in my lifetime, the systems are so intertwined and people have outsourced their responsibility for far too long—people couldn’t bear it. They don’t know how to govern themselves. That disempowerment has been by design.
To me, it’s a multi generational plan to take power back for the people. The establishment works in long cycles to encapsulate humanity through centralization, the only sensible plan would require consistent and compounding moves to decentralize within every institutional framework.
For example, my children will know that while taxes are sometimes used towards good causes, taking ownership of those causes and enacting voluntarism would create efficiencies that the state couldn’t dream of. Anarchy is a way to 10x positive impact and change the world.
If I raise skilled boys in an empathetic home with voluntarism at the heart, they will do so much more than all of our tax dollars would have done combined. The state is inefficient at making meaningful change.
If this way of living leached more and more into mainstream, having people own their family affairs again through homeschooling and self-sufficiency practices, that would compound to heights never seen by humanity when we take tech advancements into account.
I’m not expecting to see an anarchist system, but I will live as close to anarchy as I can. Hopefully that will radiate into influence and create a lasting governance framework for my great grandchildren.
