Will Libertarianism ever leave meme status?

no
it's retarded
No. Trump or Clinton didn't make an obese man strip at the Libertarian national convention.
Trump or Clinton didn't boo Austin Peterson for saying you shouldn't be able to sell heroin to five year olds.

The libertarian party is a fucking joke.
However, There are a 1000 different brands for libertarianism, despite it being one of the most straightforward political ideologies.Milton Friedman/CATO types have already had a fair influence on beltway politics. Rothbardians have influenced the electorate.

My friend maintains the party is fractured into three distinct groups that all hate eachother: classical liberal, minarchists, and ancaps.
Is this accurate?

Not sure- I never bothered with the party. I don't *hate* moderate libertarians, but Gary Johnson was an unprincipled, poorly-mannered candidate. Minarchist-Anarchist feuds are nothing but bickering. Even as an ancap, i'm willing to concede that for circumstantial/cultural reasons, abolishing the state entirely is usually not political viable.

Does this not make you a (begrudging) minarchist?
>>140150760
I literally don't care about the libertarians, the market is a way of thinking for me
Step up your game

not really. I don't believe in political authority, therefore I consider myself anarchist.
I'm for eliminating state power to the maximum extent possible. I think police and national defense could be done without taxes, except during crisis situations such as war or natural disaster.
