What I find most interesting is that no matter how many we point out the obvious, nobody seems to get it.


We have had a working example of a Libertarian utopia. The early US history is proof that the guidelines laid down in the constitution are a very real way to limit the government intrusion into ones life, and business. It wasn't until people saw a need to scrap the constitution that nation got into trouble.


I know of zero examples of anarchy as a working, thriving, real world system of government. (I'm not trying to be smug, so please cite examples if you have any)
Somalia is working well, considering it's in Africa. Economic growth is high and for a country not long out of a civil war it's relatively peaceful. All this without a cent of foreign aid (although that's probably part of the success). Medieval Iceland (saga period) also seemed to work well.
