Libertarians must necessarily be prudent in supporting expansion of the voter base. Every increase in the voter base brings a potentially more difficult task for Libertarian politics. Specifically, if the newly introduced voters increase the margin which we must win over for Liberty, then that is the chief issue; for, in this fashion, the Libertarian job is made more difficult: we must convince a larger populace to vote for us. Unfortunately, for Libertarians, collective propositions to expand suffrage must be considered collectively, as we have already mentioned. The ideal would be banning all who increase the State from the voting booth, wherefrom we may derive our entire enfranchisement theory; but, in practise, this is nigh impossible. Typically and historically, propositions to expand the vote have been made to particular groups of varying different characteristics. When a voter group is added to an existing voter base, if it increases the margin necessary to convince to arrive at a 50% Libertarian vote, then it must be bad. On the contrary, if it decreases this margin, or if it sways the vote toward being Libertarian, it must be good. The goal is to destroy the system, and the means used must be pursuant to this end; as Ayn Rand said, “I am interested in politics so that one day I will not have to be interested in politics.” Libertarians do not care for democracy; we wish merely to destroy the State. Therefore, any change in the democratic (or republican) structure must be in accordance with this end; and, as Libertarians, we ought to rig the vote as much as possible, whether in a representative republic or a true democracy, for our own ends. But whether it is a proposition to expand the vote to women, or a proposition to restrict the vote to only Anarcho-Capitalists (the ideal), we must approach the subject with great caution.
