-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'?

Horseshit, the people who ended slavery may have had your opinions of liberty and freedom, but they didn't necessarily want your economic policies.  I hardly think the Abolitionist movement was "libertarian" in their economic stance, since they wanted to deprive people of their property.
