I for instance "enlisted" in a libertarian political force and gave everything I had for 3 years to make it work. The very first step is to understand that to get there, the effort is such that it will be almost physically painful, and if it's not, be sure as hell that you are not doing enough. And once it's painful, you need to yet again rise your head, take a deep breath and look 3 years head in the distance, 3 years of walking in the dessert following a vision that at times seems to exist in your mind only. That's how we achieved a libertarian government here in Argentina.

After that psychological barrier is unblocked in just enough people, changes start to take place. To get that level of conviction you need to be nearly religious about what you are fighting for. A zealot of sorts.

To help that process, I'm working on a "libertarian manifest", to distill and unify core principles that permit the clarity of mind needed to focus on the objective.
