Libertarianism is a joke.

It's the 21st century version of laissez-faire. Instead of the government raping our asses, it's the corporations. I'd rather have some form of regulation in capitalism than none. Notice how the areas that resembles libertarianism politics the most are the areas that are leeching federal money and relies heavily on manufacturing jobs. Way to take care of your population.

"the west" isn't a libertarian society.

like what? singapore?
first of all, singapore has been rich ever since it was a colony, a center of trade for the entire region, this of course helped give singapore the resources it takes to get a proper society running. Huge industrialization processes funded by the government. Public housing made affordable for all. Strict regulation of behaviour and dicipline. focus on technological and computer education from the governments side already from 1980.
Singapore may have slack laws regarding trade and taxes and such, but it's DEFINATELY not libertarian.
