There is no such thing as a "practicing" Libertarian -- We are
all CORPORATIST(s) in practice.
If you use FRNs or ever-have -- If you voted and lobbied last election -- If you buy goods/services to businesses or corporations that lobby, pay taxes, or use the judicial system -- If you pay taxes or use the judicial system -- If you keep assets in banks or with wall-street -- If you have insurance -- and if you purchase oil or fuel of any kind then YOU ARE a Corporatist (in practice).
Saying you are a philosophical "libertarian" (as a self-given high-five) is a bit bourgeoisie (since corporatism rules the world and we are buying into it the "Marxist" term applies).
The only way to STOP being a corporatist while living under corporatism is to drown in international waters, smile.
Your "consumptive choices" determine the societal-spell you live under.
The 1st Step, might warrant a lapel bragging pin, is to STOP voting and lobbying (abdicating and bribing respectively).
