Realistically speaking, perhaps the function of the LP is to steal votes from the RP to make them adopt more libertarian policy. As far as I see it, libertarianism still has a long way to go, if at all, until it becomes a mainstream ideology.
The main function of the LP was supposed to be selling libertarian books, driving traffic to libertarian sites, etc. Ron Paul did that much better from GOP than the LP did. The real hope was in minority initiatives like the Free State Project, but that's been a massive disappointment...
It's nice to have some leverage over the GOP, especially in the primaries, but only to a point.
Helping commies win is a very bad thing... ?
Sorry for engaging in AnCap treason. I hope my thoughts did not violate the 'Non-Helping Commies Principle'. Frankly I'm just a minarchist with AnCap interests trying to see what it is all about.
Just remember that the two are not in conflict. Anarcho-Capitalism / NAP is the operation system and Minarchism is an app to run on top of it. People should be free to create all sorts of voluntary societies under NAP, but Minarchist ones are most likely to attract the top brains & capital, proliferate, and be most successful.
As in minarchists themselves are more successful or minarchism running over the ancap model will draw more successful people towards the government? If it's the latter, I really am not seeing the best in government. Usually the successful are in the market working, right?
