Comment: There are 2 efforts going on here, But one is in name only.

1. Change from within. That is what RP has tried to do for 30+ years, change the party, change the rhetoric.

2. Change the system. That is what most libertarians think they are doing but they are not. The LP party is just another party within the system. It is just an small market sport team playing the same game, it give legitimacy to the league. RP himself tried it, and if he says it will not work why are we going to try to kick this dead dog again? Even if it every became a big market team it would have the same players and become the republicans team. Remember the Whigs?

Now if you want to truly change the system from the outside then you have to really go outside. Form a system like the Amish or something but get out the the system!
