This is why libertarians stop being libertarians. At some point, they realize that it's futile and impractical. Someone is going to be in charge, and that person is going to make the rules. Authority is an inevitability. Libertarianism and Marxism are two sides of the same coin: theoretical utopias, if we can just get everyone to agree to play nice! Well, in the real world where humans compete for resources to survive, people don't play nice. That's a hard biological fact, and no amount of indoctrination or force is going to be able to remove those hard-coded instincts for self-preservation, so it's best to adopt a system that is at least somewhat compatible with it. That can take a while to fully internalize, which explains why so many young idealists adopt Libertarian and/or Marxist positions for a few years before they end up moving on.
