Most reporters don't understand or report libertarian views. Libertarians are frozen out of most political debates. For most people, libertarian goals are well kept secrets. Libertarians seek to advance their causes by persuasion. Libertarians believe that most of the problems we seek to correct with force are caused by misuse of force by government and its cohorts.
Libertarians seek to eliminate the misused force, rather than trying to balance it with more force.
If a balance beam is out of balance, it can be as easily balanced by removing weight from the heavy end as by adding weight to the light end. Also, the added weight might break the beam. It takes new resources to add weight. Removed weights can be put to other uses. Libertarians appear to be revolutionary because force and coercion by government are so much a part of our lives that restoring freedom would be revolutionary.
