I was talking in theory, forgot to add that.
But yeah, in the real world things aren't pretty, because human greed always take a part on the equation.
But comparing the true democratic system with the libertarian ideas, so far, i still choose the democracy system.
While it is still flawed, the power is more dilluted between more people, and can change hands fastest than it seems to me in a full libertarian state.
In democracy, smaller parties still have voice, and can still pass bills that benefits a minority.
Also, the people and the press can apply some influence if it gets big enough, because there is legal mechanisms to change the ones in power.
What i can see from libertarian way, these legal mechanisms wouldnt exist, so i dont see a feasible way for the small people to fight the big ones.
The big ones have the possibility to amass a huge amount of power, and there is nothing stoping them to do so.
I still want to know a better way, but so far, haven't found it yet.
You aren't well versed in LIberty, I see. Various mechanisms are proposed by a myriad of authors to subject corrupting influence and oppression to checks. Neither the press nor the people themselves have ever been supposed by even one libertarian I am familiar with to be eliminated.

I am new to the libertarian ideas, and i always question something i want to understand better. And i find the libertarian ideas pretty interesting, but i am not yet convinced.
I learned that because when i was young, i really liked the idea of communism, wich in theory is a perfect egalitarian system, but as i started to acquire more knowledge i started to see the holes in it, especially because human nature is never factored on most of the theories.
So far, i have been presented that only two rules would apply (right to property and no physical harm allowed), and they seem paradoxical, a lot of issues come from having these rules that could create the exact opposite of a free market/state.
But could you rephrase the last sentence? i didnt understand it...

I was responding to your statement here:
I said that neither the press nor the people wouldn't be part of any libertarian proposal I am familiar with.
Hope that helps =)

I am not widely lettered, but can recomment Lysander Spooner, Fredric Bastiat, John Locke, and there are many, many more.
@ekklesagora has an extensive knowledge and familiarity with literature, and even a brief visit to his blog with probably overwhelm you with authors and works that can better provide you with substantive knowledge than can I.
Be well, and Merry Christmas!
