I believe a working form of libertarianism already existed for centuries. It was called feudalism.
I think most libertarians would be shocked to find on which side of the spectrum they'd find themselves were it to ever be enacted as a form of government.
Dexter, I'm with dc_dux: I want to see some kind of model. Rather than respond to you point by point (which would be a challenge in itself for all the misconceptions I see), I think it would be more constructive for you to put forth your idea of how society should handle things. What would happen to the most destitute? You cannot assume people will be charitable to help them out, especially not at the level at which they are helped presently.
Do you support fiefdom?
I cannot see how your perception of society would work. Can you paint me a picture?
