Not surprising but interesting to note- if a socialist even glances at the levers of power, there's no "give them a chance," it's suddenly that everything bad that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen is their fault and they must be removed immediately, by force if necessary. But libertarians get this and are the don't tread on me folks, god I hate them.

But now we had taken it over…”

Murray Rothbard

Why is it a surprise that these liberals, who hate anything 'authoritarian', insist on 'libertarians' to get things right?
