There are individuals who believe strongly in principles and many of them are very conscientious. The problem with lolberts, though, is that their entire ideology is based on the assumption that all human beings everywhere just want to be left alone. Their utopia is w a world where "They shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid," and all that good stuff. They genuinely don't understand that not everyone wants that. They also react with instinctive, unthinking revulsion to the idea that to keep the tiniest sliver of that concept requires cooperation, hierarchy, and authority that can use furce to maintain safety and order. In other words, the State. It is such a universal truth as to be part of the human condition. In the absence of the State, the survivors of the slave raids and ethnic cleansing create one.
Right-lolberts think they're the protagonists of a 1980s action movie and they're going to go out with a rifle, face down the mob alone, and prevail. Historically speaking, that's not the way to bet, but at least they grasp that there can be no order without furce. Left-lolberts have the same fantasy, but with a bong and a sex toy instead of a gun.
A nation of saints on an inaccessible island with plentiful land and resources would hardly need a government at all. But, see, where did that ever exist in the real world?
