Yes, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with being
a hopeless utopian either, because an optimist whose
optimism is baseless can live longer than a clear-eyed
realist who agonizes, just as a hopeless romantic can
live longer than a misanthrope. A hopeless
romantic/utopian can also increase the quality, not
merely the length, of life. 
I personally hold nothing against the theory of
libertarianism whatsoever, I just don't get along with
libertarians themselves because I'm a misanthrope, and
because libertarianism is a philosophy still in its
infancy.
 It appears that what we have today is a three-way
minuet of free-market capitalism, state capitalism,
socialism.
