Libertarianism: The Impossible Ideal

Libertarianism is possible only for the gods; if not the gods, then for the beings of an angelic intelligence. It is an impossible ideal for a non-divine intelligence (normal human beings). For normal human beings, time moves from the past to the future by way of the present, but the libertarians believe in the primacy of the future. Disinterested in the past and dissatisfied with the present, they pole-vault directly into the future when their ideal free society is destined to be realized. The libertarian future is perpetually in the future; it has no potential for becoming the present or the past.
