If libertarians get their wishes then the US will become a feudal society with many warlords and fiefdoms. Since the government will be too small* to actually protect people's rights, the rich will hire their own military force and the poor will have to either work for the rich as pseudo-slaves or risk getting killed.
Humans started off as libertarians. The hunter-gatherer societies started off without civilian rulers and military forces. Yet, why did people submit themselves to governments? Because they wanted to protect themselves from the strong, and the only way to do that is to work for the strong.
Libertarians want to cherry-pick their rights but that's just arbitrary. Why do corporations have rights but not the environment? A government small enough to appease the libertarians will be one that's too small to do anything at all.
Best I can tell we have full blown corporate fascism. Which is basically the same thing as feudalism.
Nobody really owns anything and they are all are debt slaves.

It's crazy to think private security doesn't work as well as government security.
Look at Detroit. These guys make so much money off paying customers they provide protection to poor people for free. And much better than the city police. Probably why the city is now sending the cops here for training.

Our constitution provides all the governments powers in detail.
Politicians bastardized the constitution through the SC.
