Why is libertarianism so infallible?

It is due to it being the application of political science. It does not permit failed policies to be continued fruitlessly year after year with idealistic fervour, it is next to impossible for anyone surrounded by fierce libertarian critics to continue clinging on to lies. It is a purely functional machine, lubricated with justice and fueled by free speech.

By your logic, if it wasn't for taxes (which I assume are the problem, as opposed to government spending itself), I'd automatically become a "job owner". Cool, can we all be job owners? What about the people who do actual work? It seems like the "market forces" you worship would make it so that somebody has to do the actual work.

That's for the good jobs, though. What about the people who don't have the talent or education (good luck getting that in Libertaria) to get good jobs? I guess they can just live without Medicaid for a while (for some, a very short while). Besides, they should be able to get private health insurance on minimum wage (oh, but you'll get rid of that, too).

Here's what I'm a fucking idiot and have no idea what I'm talking about: if there is absolutely no safety net for anyone, people will starve to death once they get too old to work, people without good jobs will be forced into a life of crime, and people will die of easily treatable diseases and conditions. Here's where you pop in and say that libertarianism isn't about creating an unrealistic utopia ANYWAYS, or else some "survival of the fittest" quip, or else some "market forces" absurdity about people hiring bodyguards so they won't get robbed.
