Not practical, not feasible in this world.

To me pure Libertarianism is “wouldn’t it be nice if” pie in the sky Utopia. Cannot exist.

Which system is practical and feasible in this world? Communism?

It exists and seems to be kicking ass around the globe.

I think Libertarianism would be doing even better. Maybe it wouldn't be "pure Libertarian" but we also aren't seeing "pure Communist" either.

I would gladly settle for "really freaking Libertarian" if "pure Libertarian wasn't achievable".

I’d settle for 75% libertarianism and 25% conservatism.

Free markets and a caretaker government limited by some kind of a document. Like some kind of charter or contract laying out what it can and cannot do.

Maybe we could even include a list of things we think people need to be able to live free and equitable lives... like a “starter set” but we could leave it open ended.

IOW... We already have it, we just stopped using it almost as soon as the ink was dry on the vellum...
