Has the ‘Libertarian Moment’ Finally Arrived?

The moment that Libertarianism becomes a viable political movement is the day they decide on what it is that they stand for. And when I say "political movement", I mean Party. As it stands, they're far too spread out in their ideologies that it's hard to get behind any one candidate or group.

Personally, I'm of the mindset that government performs best when promoting and enforcing an even playing field for its citizens. Too often lately, we see two separate sets of "rules" between the 1% and the rest of us 99%, such as prison sentences and having a voice in governance. I'd like my government to provide universal healthcare and promote good stewardship towards both the environment and our communities. There's far too much greed and apathy towards one another for my taste, and no one is courageous enough to try and tackle these issues.

I don't think so. The Libertarians are too "hands off" for my liking. In my lifetime I would like to see:

- Universal, socialised medicine - Universal, Scandinavian-style free secondary education - Mandatory military or social service for two years to mature people and get them to see life in a different way - A radical shift towards solving human problems instead of pursuing greed
