Like all ideas, Libertarian is, at least, a good thing to have around. It reminds us to guard against government overreach and excessive costs.
The problem right now is that its often-binary, shallow and unrealistic elements have essentially taken over the thought processes of a "major" political party, and that has damaged and distorted the conversation every bit as badly as pure communist thought would.
There are those who want to dismiss and attack any thoughts and ideas that don't match theirs, and those kinds of people will always be around across the political spectrum. But anyone who completely flushes ideas out of hand simply won't be a part of any constructive conversation.
