I really don't understand how libertarianism doesn't collapse at first contact with actual human beings.

>Libertarianism is about the rights of an individual to engage in transactions they find beneficial.

>Libertarians support individual rights at a vastly greater level than anyone else

And who protects these rights? Who defines them? Is it really possible for everybody's rights to be protected simultaneously (whatever those rights may be)? Who decides ownership? Who guarantees the avenues for beneficial trade?

The rule of law cannot be enforced without an element of coercion. The best we can hope to do is to make it as enlightened as we can.

It's basically a modern version of the divine right of kings.
