WHY ARE LIBERTARIANS POLITICALLY IRRELEVANT?

Because political systems are constructed by violence. And conservatives are willing to create an order that suppresses consumption in order to construct commons, and progressives are willing to use violence to destruct an order so that they can increase consumption. But libertarians are both small in number and unwilling to use violence.

Violence raises the costs of non-cooperative action, so that cooperation is preferable to non-cooperative action.

Libertines always look for discounts (freebies). There aren’t any. Order is expensive.

For these reasons libertarians will only exist in absurdly wealthy periods of history, made possible by conservatives. Otherwise they will exist only as another rejection-cult, criticizing the fact that they are required to pay costs for norms that do not improve their status – but constrain it.
