Like their cousin Libertarianism, Communism and Socialism are failures. Libertarianism is the Edsel of the free marketplace of ideas.

Whoooaaaa.... Now hold on a minute there.

Now I know nobody's ever accused you of being rational, but you suggested that Libertarian philosophy has "failed in the marketplace of ideas", because of the relatively few people who support it.

But when confronted with the relatively large number of supporters for communist and socialist systems around the world, you say that they too are "failures in the marketplace of ideas".

You can't have it both ways Roscoe.
