-isms don't work

...for normal people.
Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Utilitarianism, and all the others.  They're all pretty much fine in the hands of intelligent, rational people.  But the problem is the masses screw everything up.  My question to you poli-tards is, would it be possible to lie to the average man and trick him into believing one thing, while secretly accomplishing the goals of one of the 'isms'?

Also don't forget some systems pave the way for people like the nazis or the stalinists. If a population is embued with the spirit of liberty, some assholes will get into the government, but it is unlikely anyone totalitarian dictators will take over and reduce the liberty of the average person to extremely low levels. If a population is embued with the spirit of national socialism or socialism it is easy for dictators to fool people into supporting a "dictatorship of the proletariat".

I'd take "LIBERTY OR DEATH" over marxist dogma anyday.
