I'm on your side! Within Steemit we have many who are not on our side, they have different opinions. I really like to make conversations with them, to find common ground, to find solutions, but these conversations stay usually at the level of libertarians/anarchist preaching and not wanting to go a level deeper in the conversation. While I do not believe in such societies, I seek contact with these societies, since we can only learn from others.

You're completely right! To be honest, I'd love to believe in these ideals, but realistically speaking, I just don't see it happening with humans as they are.
Lets see if I can find some libertarians/anarchist who want to start something in practise. I discuss with my friends to arrange for ourselves when we are with pension, everything, from support we require, to place to live etc etc. Quite a libertarian approach, but generally I don't mention this in my conversations with libertarians and anarchist, since they never ever ask me those questions. I dont get questions to my questions, but only counter questions: do you like fascism? do you think government are good? and so on. I always try a second and third time, but generally get the same answers, or the other party stops the conversation.
I hope you find a good conversational partner for this! I know I'd be a bad one on most topics, since I don't know a lot of facts about basically anything. I understand many things, but facts just don't stick. That makes it really hard for me to be in many discussions, because people love facts and examples as valid arguments.
I fully agree with you facts and examples are what makes things more believable. Those are what I like to hear and learn from the libertarians and anarchist, but generally they dont give them :) That is what worries me a lot, hence I make the statement most of them are preaching, and not necessarily with the right effects since when preaching, you must also give real substance to the content otherwise you only convince those how are your followers and already convinced, and any other just walks away with a bad feeling since nothing really convinced that individual. I keep on searching for those with whom I can have meaningful and openminded conversations! :)
