I'd say the same thing about socialism or fascism: "Wouldn't it be nice if
human nature were different than it is,  then this would work."

The trouble is  it isn't and isn't changeable either.

Libertarianism is like Leninism: a fascinating, internally consistent
political theory with some good underlying points that, regrettably, makes
prescriptions about how to run human society that can only work if we
replace real messy human beings with frictionless spherical humanoids of
uniform density (because it relies on simplifying assumptions about human
behaviour which are unfortunately wrong).
