AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

My feeling has always been that most alternative political theories that get attention really are a good way to do things, until you get to the application stage. Communism is a Utopia on paper, until you involve actual humans with greed and the wish to be better than the person standing beside them. Pure libertarianism, which I will hear no argument is not just anarchy in practice, is also fine and good, until you remember that we live in a society that has to account for the lowest denominators, and of the fact that, unless they're forced to, nobody's going to band together to build roads, and infrastructure, and help Grandma pay for her medications. Libertarianism is a reactionary outcome to the knee jerk reaction of someone looking at their paycheck, and seeing that the government took money that they feel like they earned all by themselves.
