I understand the appeal of libertarian ideas for the autistic anti-authoritatian types but ultimately think that they are impractical, juvenile, miss the bigger picture and will never reach broad acceptance. Wordcels like Rand, Hoppe, Rothbard, Huerta de Soto and Miguel Anxo Bastos embody this contradiction by preaching rugged individualism from the comfort of state-subsidized systems they condemn. Societies built upon these principles have turned out to be a failure except for the elite.

I recently came across an open-source book project called Plurality that critiques both libertarianism and technocracy—not just in terms of who holds power, but in how they imagine society. Both reduce the world to isolated individuals (atoms) and a collective system (whether centrally planned or ...
