Hello, everybody, I've recently become more interested in understanding Libertarianism as I've begun finding out my idea of it may be incomplete and otherwise incorrect. I'll try my best to keep this straight to the point.
The subject group I'm looking for answers on is specifically libertarian ideology, not information on ancap or minarchist ideology.
I've been looking deeper into Libertarianism for roughly a mere handful of days now, and I've recently become confused as to how Libertarian ideology views Federal systems of government where leaders may be elected by vote (e,g Republics and Democracies, no federal monarchies or anything like that), as I occasionally see Libertarians view these systems as flawed means to a similar end of their own, or advocating for their replacement in their entirety by other further decentralized systems, while simultaneously seeing a few prefer this system but only want a few tweaks to prevent coercion, I would like to have a breakdown as to why this is, and what about Federalism makes some/all Libertarians view it as an inferior system.
Edit: When I posted this I forgot to adjust the title so it would be a bit more clear what I'm specifically asking about in the title, I'm talking about Federal systems with only the added "where the leader(s) are elected by vote", I'm not necessarily asking about how Libertarians feel about Republics or Democracies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism
