i am a Libertarian, so no-one has tried what i have suggested yet

 

Not to come across as a jerk, but nothing you can suggest has not been tried. It just hasn't worked.

The saying absolute power corrupts absolutely fits very well here.

Some of the worst atrocities in humanity started with the best of intentions.

 

forget it, you clearly dont understand my points, neither does Kasz, ill just leave you wondering, i got my points, im sorry that you didnt

I got your point... it just doesn't work that way though.   Elected governments can turn just as eaisly.

By giving massive powers over the poor and by controlling a lot of the countries resources, governments get more and more hard to reign in.

Which is the problem.  Libertarian socialism can only first be achieved by a strong government that decides to step out of the way.

Just like regular ole communism.

The problem is... said governments never want to.

The communists of the USSR for example in practce were supposed to be Libertarian socialists... in the end result.  This never occured because people like their absolute power.
