There’s a book “a libertarian walks into a bear” that examines a real life attempt to do libertarianism. It ends badly, with bears and fires, and the town does markedly worse than the neighboring town that did normal government stuff.
Also, someone pitching “smaller government” is going to need to define what they actually mean and why that’s a good thing. Gutting public education, for example, I think would be a very bad thing that someone might pursue in the interest of “smaller government”
Hey can you explain this? I was recently looking into libertarian they seem to want a smaller gov. Does it just not at all shake out like that?

Thanks for the explanation!
