How hypocritical then, that libertarians have formed a political party and take an active role in matters of the state.
Libertarians are not anarchists. Minarchists, perhaps. Libertarian ideology leaves a role for the state, albeit a greatly reduced one (and I am not certain that even this should exist).
It only seems hypocritical to someone uninformed, like yourself.

But it is wrong to think that Libertarians would run much of anything .
They often live in the delusion they run themselves.

So has anyone ever published a relatively-agreed-upon positive vision of what-should-be under a libertarian vision of society? A roadmap for getting there?
Have libertarians ever tried to buy an Island somewhere, and put their ideas into practice?

Libertarianism is a broad umbrella. Do you mean Minarchism? Objectivism? Libertarian socialism?
This is the basics:

Only imperfectly. Have you read the US constitution?
Did you watch the presentation?

Perhaps YOU might define what YOU mean by 'Libertarian' as Six was merely responding to YOUR initial use of the term Libertarian.
Typical example of your muddle-head in action Burn.
