There needs to be a sales force to sell a political theory? Is that something like Army Recruiters?:-k God forbid.
I've seen people talk about how they were Marxists, Conservatives, or Neocons, and ultimately came to be libertarians, but no one ever said a salesman convinced them to change, they were exposed to new ideas for sure that challenged them, but their change came about by their own free will.
Were proles recruited to the different stripes of progressivism? Did the recruiters brainwash them and promise them a free pony if they joined? I never came from that camp, I never found any interest in it, actually repulsed by it as an aberration in American history that would come to no good, so it always baffled me as to what was attractive about it.
You wrote "Libertarian", the capital "L" signifies the political party. A lower case "l" signifies the political theory, "only a political theory, that is, an important subset of moral theory that deals with the proper role of violence in social life. Political theory deals with what is proper or improper for government to do, and government is distinguished from every other group in society as being the institution of organized violence.", Rothbard's words from his Six Myths About Libertarianism
