An Open Manifesto

In Marxist narrative of history, capitalism eventually gives way to a dictatorship of the proletariat. This dictatorship puts socialism into place and eventually whithers away once the world has transitioned to pure communism. Libertarians face a similar paradox. On the one hand they see democracy has the most legitimate form of power, but they hold that power, in order to be legitimate must be limited to certain functions, i.e. the parameters laid out in the constitution.
