Over time I've moved from being practically Libertarian (believing it to be achievable and useful and conceived) to being theoretically Libertarian (asking "Why not the libertarian solution?" before deciding on practicality). In the end I believe that Libertarianism to be the best and most consistent of the political philosophies out there. Unfortunately none of them work fully as theorized in today's day and age, and none of them are being faithfully represented by their advocates. So in the end we have to make compromises. For me one turning point was realizing that the Ayn Rand fanatics are the worst co-workers, and that there is something to be said for not all being in this strictly for itself. The game theory ideas of co-operation also convinced me of the importance of collectivism on some things.
