There is no reason for a Libertarian to stand for office

It makes no sense for someone against aggression to present themselves as a politician, for election. If we are against aggression we would want to see the Government reduced in size, we would not want to participate in it. The argument that we can make a difference from the inside is flawed, even if we are a liberal ruler, there is still room for another ruler to follow behind who is not so. If we don't need a Government then it makes no sense to become (a member of) one as we do nothing other than reinforce and solidify the position. It is a contradiction for a Libertarian to stand for office.
