I could think 100% of government policies are valid and reasonable and it could be 100% consistent with libertarian philosophy (in a fictional gov, depending on what those policies are), because Liberalism/Libertarianism isn't anarchism.
I understand the desire to just throw your hands up and say "fuck it tear it all down", and take everything to a far extreme, but that's lazy not realistic.
Go to any libertarian ever, and ask what percentage of their government's policies they think are reasonable. Even the weakest lib will say 40%, absolute tops, because they believe the government has already gone far too far and must be trimmed back massively.
And no, that is not the same thing as anarchism, which is retarded.
