"Most" people are unable to govern themselves? Do you really believe that?However, libertarianism, is, in my opinion, not practical in application in its purest form, because most people are unable to govern themselves with regards to personal responsibility- i.e. drugs etc.-
A question arises from that sentiment: If people can't be trusted to govern themselves, then why can they be trusted to govern others?
Fair question- Because you have a collective responsibility. There are others to check your behavior- they do so against the back drop of law. Everyone being held accountable equally.
