As libertarianism is not an option at this time (unless one lives offshore) neither is socialism realistic. I happen to personally know those who have run for both president and vice president on the Socialist ticket; they are people who couldn't run a supermarket. It's just a game.
 
The same reason socialism is unrealistic is the same reason libertarianism is unrealistic: we're evolving so slowly that by the time any sort of socialism could theoretically succeed it would already be outmoded. Perhaps libertarianism has a better future-- however that future is way off past the middle of this century, and probably nearer to the end of the century.
