Hey, I think libertarian socialism (sometimes equated with anarchism or some form of communism) is as great of a political idea as the next guy does. However, I realize that all socialist/communist theories are just that - theories or "great ideas". Such utopian society ideals could be more aptly named unobtainiumism. Communism in reality can only work amongst a like-minded group of people within a relatively small commun-ity - go figure!It does not scale well, much less to a massive population. As history has repeatedly demonstrated, attempts at such forms of government devolve into some type of totalitarian dystopia - oppressive societies ruled by an authoritarian oligarchy or dictator. The practical application of socialist or communist ideals become the antithesis of their purported goals. That's just reality. Call it "human nature" if you like. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. myself
