The Libertarian view relies on an assumption that just isn't true: That there is no such thing as human frailty or imperfection.

But there is. As we saw in the last presidential election, millions of people voted against their best interests. And it completely ignores those of us who are infirm through no fault of our own (developmentally disabled, chronic disease, accidents, many elderly) who need assistance.

Communism and Libertarianism are opposite sides of the same coin: one side exalts the collective; one side exalts the individual. The trick is to keep the coin spinning so it appears as a blur. That blur is the democratic process.
