"At least I can explain my positions." Only to your own satisfaction.....that doesn't necessarily make you right.

" be better than our democracy" we don't have a democracy. when you say (as if you do) the pledge of alliance to the flag. I pledge alliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the democracy for which it stands..... do you like the song 'The Battle Hymn of the Democracy' ?

Koan, > What kind of political system was Rand talking about then? She is considered to be one of the most influential libertarians in modern history. > Explain it to me. Explain to me how her system would be better than our democracy and how it would work. I can't think of anything more democratic than libertarianism. Socialism is based on the people voting away their rights to property. It's about as "democratic" as two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for lunch. Tenchusatsu
