If Free-Speech falls, we're in trouble

here is a great top comment from the libertarian subreddit, where you can see how libertarians are just commies now lol

It’s true, though. There are a lot of different things people mean by “libertarian”, and I think the most damaging one is that people should all live and act individually in most everything. Humans became the dominant species because of our ability to work collectively and benefit collectively. We absolutely need to protect individual liberty, but collective work, action, and even benefits are not the bogeyman that the right wants libertarians to think it is.

Honestly, serious libertarians have always been for some government protections. Their philosophy is "the government that governs least governs best" ... not "the government which doesn't exist governs best" (that would be the Anarchist philosophy).

Ron Paul (probably the most successful Libertarian politician in recent memory) certainly wasn't trying to tear down the federal government; he was just trying to get it out of doing a lot of what it does ... stuff that he didn't think government should be involved in.

But of course, different Libertarians have different ideas about what to keep and what not, and I think your quote reflects that more.
