This is circular reasoning.

Libertarianism will be a better system because it is a better system.

What if a libertarian society turns out not to be good enough to create
a stable and humane system? How do we opt out in case of failure?

My problem is that I don't trust the mechanism in a Libertarian society,
which should keep the system stable, to be strong enough.
