I think the biggest mistake libertarians ever made was to think "anti-statism" was the way to go instead of "anti-authoritarianism." The state is how liberty is ESTABLISHED, and how rights are brought from the imagination into reality. To date, there is no other way to do that. The abuse of such is authoritarianism, and yes is also potentially the greatest threat to liberty and human rights.
However, before the state brought rights into reality, there was nothing more than claims and wars over those claims.
No state, no liberty. No liberty, no libertarianism.
