It must suck to be a libertarian. If you wanted to live in a country with lots and lots of government, at least in theory, you could emigrate to China or North Korea (or on a relative basis, Massachusetts or California). If you wanted to live in a place with government, but with a more isolated local flavor, you could move to Paraguay or Khazakistan, or again on a relative scale, Texas. But if you believe in laissez faire economics and the invisible hand, there’s nowhere for you to go. Some states may be more pro-business than others and some may be less, but there’s nowhere to escape a significant level of government.

Rand and Paul and Rand Paul may be full of shit, but we will never really know, because what they propose has never been tried.

      Not to belabor a point, especially since I think the lib ideas are utter idiocy myself, by "the anarchist territories during the Spanish Revolution[16] and the Free Territory during the Russian Revolution" are hardly analogous to what the writer is talking about here, which is major modern developed states.
