libertarianism has some good traits like ending the drug war, respect for individual rights, and capitalism. Their approach swings to far in the other direction and believe that pure capitalism, a very sue happy populace, and minimal policing to protect property rights and individual rights is enough. They don't believe in regulations for the most part and only a very minimal military. Problems with this include minimal military->your country is over run within a generation or two, unlimited capitalism->money always flows up and the big guys don't give a damn about your rights and have the money to buy off the police. Very active judiciary to allow suing for infringement on property and individual rights --> the judiciary will be bought by the monopoly companies. It does not account sufficiently for all the money eventually working it's way up to the 1% and they essentially control everything and everyone else is a wage slave fighting over the crumbs of the 1% of wealth/pay left.
