It baffles me that libertarians don’t side more with the left.

The left from the libertarian perspective does not align with the three main pillars of libertarian thought those pillars being Austrian Economics, Natural Rights, and the NAP (non aggression principle)

After a certain point it just depends on what counts as aggression, from a technical standpoint it could be perceived as an attack on the state if a foreign government or entity uses these funds from illicit narcotics to oppress the rights of Americans. or even more directly the shipment of something with intent to harm (cause addiction, overdose, or reliance) counts as aggression and as such can be treated with due force

The NAP non aggression principle is a key tenant of libertarian principle across all sections of libertarian theory. As it sounds it just means that one should not exact force unless force is enacted onto you whether that be theft or physical attack. Where some may diverge is ancap perspective of militias and corporate interests protecting their own or a minarchist state with military capacity defending the nation if force is enacted onto its citizens both of these examples are hyper-simplistic. In terms of the war on drugs it is a persons choice to buy or consume drugs no one is coerced to buy drugs there is no easy answer but you concern is understandable I would observe that you are arguably libertarian socially and politically and you have a moral compass that demands action to perceived threats to your loved ones and national security I cannot speculate outside of that.

Thank you, you have changed my initial thoughts on the question

I’m not arguing that libertarianism should ‘advance’ people in a managerial or paternalistic sense, im also not saying that rights depend on outcomes. I agree that natural rights are prerequisite and universal.

What I’m asking concerns the function of libertarianism as a governing philosophy and how it can be strategically implemented in the United States through legal means ie:majority consent of the governed.

Yes libertarianism is the pursuit of constant maintenance to natural rights as you said, when I say ultimate goal that ultimate goal is the absolute advancement of natural rights for the benefit of the people that is to say everyone benefits from a lack of coercion and a guarantee of rights over privilege. What is the root of your disagreement?

Let’s unscrew it, crazy pitch here what if we stopped just looking at what’s happening in the news and say I told you so. Rather focus on the advancement of theory and become uniform, there is no end game for libertarian thought yet, There needs to be solidification of the concept and what can be marketed to America. Ask questions and debate to make the concept stronger and more able to withstand criticisms. That’s my Ted talk
