From reading all this is sounds like a great victory for those Libertarians who desire a Libertarian Political party as opposed to a anarchist 100% solution.

I have been active along with many other libertarians in the USA in attempting to bring the US LP into focusing less on unsellable idealogy such as anarchism and into the practical reasons a political party exists : to get your candidates elected so that they can turn policy into what they desire, in this case, more personal liberty and individual freedom. There is even a organized caucus within the USLP for this. ( The Libertarian Reform Caucus)

If the measure of a so called excellent candidate is the measure of how pure they are, with no other considerations, they probably are a god awful actual candidate in reality. Until the USLP starts playing politics as is actually practiced the libertarian movement wont amount to anything. There's no support for it in the USA. it is better that a 70% libertarian get elected and make Costa Rica 20% more libertarian than it was before in actual practice rather than feild a 100% libertarian who does not get elected.

It sounds like to me the LP in Costa Rica has taken it's first step towards being a real political party with the give and take required. and thats good as far as I am concerned.

Anarchists: if you dont believe in government, why not start a anarchist party? That way you can be true to your principles the way you want. Sounds like a good oppoutunity for you.
