The Polling Pit / Re: Is Libertarianism perfect?
« on: November 21, 2006, 10:43:17 AM »
Perfection cannot be achieved with a political party. Libertarianism is a philosophy; the LP is simply a party that claims to follow that philosophy. Personally, I think anyone with a real desire to achieve true freedom would be anarchist, but I completely understand why not al libertarians are (both practically and philosophically). Do I think libertarianism is perfect? "Perfect" being so subjective a term, it's difficult to say whether anything can be perfect. I don't think "perfection" can be assessed objectively, so I hesitate to use that word.
What I will say is that libertarianism is the inevitable future of political thought. Libertarians today are like 18th century abolitionists; they have morality on their side, but not popular support. Give it a century or so and libertarian theory will be as obvious to the masses as abolition of slavery.

I'm on an iBook G4. I chose a Mac because I felt it was a superior product, and I don't regret my choice. I thoroughly enjoy the OSX software.
