-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'?

You are correct in saying that libertarianism isn't 100% perfect and does not see perfect results in 0 seconds. The thing is libertarianism is the only set of philosophies that actually allow results to occur. Slavery, colonialism and imperialism and all those things which ended upwards of 50 years ago that liberals enjoy whining about would have never ended if it were not for libertarianism within the european powers and those americans who supported the unionists in the civil war.

I fail to see how you believe I am claiming that the russian revolution didn't occur. I also fail to see why you think I support Pinochet. Lastly I fail to see why you find it so difficult to admit that you believe Pinochet was a libertarian, since it is the core of your argument.

Do you believe that General Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, president of Chile through a military coupe from the 16th of December 1974 to the 11th of March 1990, was a person who advocated freedom from despotic rule, freedom of speech and human rights universally through the population of Chile? Yes or no?

Democracy isn't perfect, but you can bitch about it's mistakes and imperfections all you want without being executed.
