I'm Looking for Information About a SUCCESSFUL LIBERTARIAN UTOPIA. a Town, a Commune... ANYTHING! I'm Writing a Book About Libertarian Ideas and It Appears That THEY ALWAYS FAIL! Please Name Names in the Comment Section Below... or Email Me gregvan[at]yahoo[dot]comThanks!

Maybe Like "Warp Drive" in Star Trek, Their Beliefs Work Great in FICTION But Never in Reality... Remember: The Unseen Hand of the Free Market CAUSED The Power Failure in Texas in 2021... Without Federal Regulation, The Power Company FAILED to Winterize Their Natural Gas Generators and DISASTER!

It would Really Suck if I Published this Book and then Found Out That Their Ideas ACTUALLY WORK!

Why Do Ayn Rand's Grand Ideas Always Fail?
Because They are a FICTION PLOT DEVICE
not an Actual Plan for Running the World... DUH...

The Short, Unhappy Life of a Libertarian Paradise...

The residents of Colorado Springs undertook a radical experiment in government. Here’s what they got. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/30/colorado-springs-libertarian-experiment-america-215313/

The question libertarians just can't answer...

If your approach is so great, why hasn’t any country anywhere in the world ever tried it?

and on FaceBorg M Said:

Ayn Rand was a bad writer whose ideas appeal to adolescent boys with no experience of The Real World, no knowledge of what a "straw man" argument is, and a healthy dose of magical thinking.

For example: Rand's John Galt destroyed western civilization, and then he and his followers withdrew from the world for a year. (Who did his cooking? Who did his laundry? Who supplied his vices, like tobacco?) Then he came back, surveyed the smoking rubble, and drew a dollar sign in the air to denote his true deity. Why did he suppose, after a year of economic collapse, that the dollar was worth more than toilet paper?

I like to imagine what happened next: John Galt found a hungry, ragged band of human survivors and offered them green 6"x3" pieces of toilet paper to be his servants. And the survivors killed and ate him.

Unlike Libertarianism, There are Many Examples of

Hippie Communes That Work and Religious Retreats.

For Example: The Farm in Tennessee

Black Bear Ranch is an 80-acre intentional community located in Siskiyou County, California.

A Spiritual Cooperative Community in the

Tradition of Paramhansa Yogananda...

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

In my reading about the Native American Church, one of the things that happens is that a person high on peyote meets Mescalito and is taught their song... then they perform it for the tribe... My experience was similar... I felt as if the woman with the coarse brown hair was Mescalita and we did perform my song...

MESCALITA (APACHE INDIAN GOD)

I MET A GIRL NAMED MESCALITA
WITH COARSE BROWN HAIR.
SHE TAUGHT ME A SONG IN A DIFFERENT KEY.
NOW I LIVE THERE.
MESCALITA, MI HIJITA.
YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO LIVE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT NOW I CAN GIVE.

I USED TO SING IN THE KEY OF "E"
A KEY OF BLUES AND PAIN.
NOW I SING IN THE KEY OF "g"
AND I'LL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN.
MESCALITA,MI AMIGA, YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO DANCE.
MY LIFE WAS FILLED WITH SORROW.
BUT I'LL GIVE LOVE ONE MORE CHANCE.

Ayn Rand Wrote FICTION Not HISTORY. In Fact, Her Grand Ideas FAIL When Applied in REALITY. Ask Yourself: Why are There ZERO Examples of a Libertarian Utopia? No Communes... No Countries... Nothing!

Why Do Ayn Rand's Grand Ideas Always Fail? Because Libertarianism is a FICTION PLOT DEVICE! Just Like the Teleporter in Star Trek! While BEAMING ABOARD is a Wonderful Dream, and It Solves Many Plot Dilemmas in the Stories... No One Can Actually Do IT!

As a Nation, We Need a $2 Trillion INFRASTRUCTURE Bill. a Massive Works Project Rebuilding America... Like The WPA of the 1930s... Everything is Crumbling... Did You Notice that The Electric Power Grid in Texas Failed? Let's Put Americans To Work!

I swam at a WPA Swimming Pool in Chico. They Dammed the Chico Creek and Made a Giant Concrete Pool... in Bidwell Park... The Federal Government Borrowed a Fortune and Created Jobs for People to Do During the Great Depression...

I find that The Great Depression was CAUSED by The Federal Reserve Bank. They Made an Error and People Starved for a Decade...

“Regarding the Great Depression, … we did it. We’re very sorry. … We won’t do it again.” Ben Bernanke, November 8, 2002, in a speech given at “A Conference to Honor Milton Friedman … On the Occasion of His 90th Birthday.”
In 2002, Ben Bernanke, then a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, acknowledged publicly what economists have long believed. The Federal Reserve’s mistakes contributed to the “worst economic disaster in American history”.

DANG... So Many Exceptions! Were the Founding Fathers Racist and Sexist Pigs? Betsy Ross Can Sew a Flag While We Manly Men Go Kill Us Some Brits!

OF COURSE, THERE ARE UTOPIAN TEMPORARY VILLAGES... FO EXAMPLE:

My Journey to The Rainbow Gathering in Pennsylvania in the 1980's... Autobiography... and EPCOT in Florida, Niagara Falls, Canada...

This event really started at the Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at a three day Grateful Dead concert. That's When I Got an Invitation to The gathering. A Card given to me by a Guy Who Believed I Was Worthy.
