Paradigms: Agreement/Disagreement versus Obedience/Disobedience

A person is most likely to vote for a candidate whose ideas they agree with. Yet radical libertarians do not accept agreement as a rationale for voting for an LP candidate. For if a person accepts the idea that a person can agree with libertarian thought, then that person must also accept the idea that people can disagree with libertarian thought. This is something radical libertarians do not accept. To their way of thinking, the one true ideology is either to be obeyed or disobeyed, but it is never to be agreed or disagreed with. They do not approach politics within the agreement/disagreement paradigm. So radical libertarian write as if there existed unanimity amongst the people. The voters like having the freedom to disagree, so they respond to this attitude with a NO.
