Yes, as we've seen so many great examples of, none of these systems seem to work on their own at the national scale. I think a nice mix of socialism, capitalism, and libertarianism is the best we've had on a national scale so far. The United States was pretty fucking rad for half of the 20th century, and that's when they were ramping up socialist policies after having just busted up unchecked late-stage capitalism, while still allowing plenty of personal liberty.
It's really unfortunate how the far right in America has stolen the libertarian label. Now it just means Republican who likes drugs to most Americans, which isn't at all what it is supposed to mean. Noam Chomsky has referred to himself as a libertarian and as an anarcho-syndacalist, and I think we all know he's a damn site far from a Republican.
