One thing I WILL say that is a negative about "complete" libertarianism is its concepts that anyone can save themselves, and everyone should save themselves. Which is not true. Live is not fair, and it will not give you a way out all the time just because you think it should/you think you can find one. It will, regardless if it has been given the chance or not, try its hardest to clusterfuck you right into the dirt. People often do eventually end up needing help in some way or another and you can't always hope that you'll have the almighty dollar to purchase that help, and then you get stuck asking for it regardless of whether or not you can pay back the favor.
However, thankfully, human nature will usually prevail here and guarantee that what you cannot do yourself, others will make possible for you, as long as you ask. This is perhaps the only libertarian concept I take issue with. There's a difference between letting someone build up their strength by struggling, and by refusing to offer a hand to someone losing their grip at the edge of the cliff just because you think they'll be fine without your assistance. Human nature was not built on the premise of one extreme or the other; too much reliance on self, or too much reliance upon others, will lead to disaster.
You have to find that perfect balance. Like everything else in life, there's no black-and-white solution, it's complicated and what works for one won't always work for another.
Life's a bitch and then you die. Fuck the world, let's go get high.
