A lot of Libertarianism sounds great on paper, so it’s an easy trap to fall into. Once you consider the human element and factors like greed, it stands out as an exceptionally abusable political model; but if you don’t think about it critically (which is a LOT of people), it’s just liberty this and non-aggression-principle-that and it all sounds just oh-so peachy… again, on paper.

Communism is very similar in this way. It’s great on paper, and then people put it into practice…
Incidentally I thought both philosophies sounded somewhat reasonable when I was around 13.
