Absolutely agree. Libertarianism, on a long enough timeline, will lead to anarcho-capitalism. Highly regulated capitalism seems to be a good mix. It seems like it's too late for the US in this case, since our government is almost entirely flooded by corporate interests. "Democrats vs Republicans" is really "Capitalist-imperialists who support abortion vs Capitalist-imperialists who don't support abortion." Of course, our media doesn't give a damn either, and distracts us with every last fringe issue...or in recent news, "Where's Snowden, LOL?!" vs "HEY your government is fucking treating you like a terror suspect just for using the internet and/or a cell phone!" It's weird that in almost every case, the media tends to whip people into a completely frightened frenzy. Now all we hear are crickets. I think the first course of action in "fixing" things is a new voting system...one where you don't get two completely ineffectual parties clawing each other eyes out over ridiculous issues. One where if you vote for a third, fourth, or fifth party candidate, they actually have a chance. We're in a hole, and we've got a lot of digging to do to get ourselves out.
