It wasn't libertarian politics I praised, just the inclinations that give rise to them. I don't think "I want to acquire stuff by my preferred means and then be left alone with my stuff" is the core there, it's "I don't want to have obligations I didn't opt in to forced upon me."

I find Libertarian politics frustrating, but mostly because they're the only sort of antiauthoritarian politics with any kind of momentum in America and they're the party of let the capitalists have their way with all of us, so not really antiauthoritarian at all.
