What's more collectivist than a jury trial? Libertarians can't harmonize a "court system" with their views. At best, they like judges who are Philosopher Kings. Think any will get elected if they're honest about that?

We could point out the gaps in any pure ideology for days. Of course, pure Libertarianism has deep conceptual problems. No one in his right mind would argue for it's radical application. When people argue under the banner today they're basically saying "I want the govt gelded and I want it to be shrunk to the size that was contemplated in the Constitution." You could say it's the rabid, socially liberal wing of the GOP that never existed.
