the whole libertarian thing kind of seems like screaming about the market not doing what you want it to do. Cry harder. It makes sense in theory but lacks practical relevance. Like you can mansplain your way out of a guillotine choke. Learn to accept the world as it is as opposed to how you would like it to be, and take meaningful actions today striving for a better tomorrow.

This is the reality (see post below). You statists are literally in a guillotine choke, tried 45 times to get out (voting / doing politics) and got tighter in the choke all 45 times. Who's living in reality more? The one who's going to try it the 46th time, or the one who wants to try something new?

Libertarians who are only Libertarian because of the market are missing the point. Communism isn't bad because it fails. It's bad because it deprives people of the products of their labor. Capitalism isn't good because it succeeds. It's good because it respects people's natural rights. If someone wants to claim that Libertarianism works, (it does) they should claim it only happens to work as a side effect of the fact that it's ethical. Too many people flip it around and try to say that how well a system works is what determines how ethical it is. (It isn't.)

By the way, statistics don't matter: what matters is how you interpret the statistics. I genuinely believe that telling a Communist that Communism has a bad track record is terrible argument. I 100% agree with the Communist if they claim that true Communism has never been tried. I promise you: the fact that the ideal system has not been properly implemented yet is not controversial for anyone.
