    Yes, Libertarianism can become communism, if you want it to define it that way. Nothing much i can do.
    But, if we are talking about the libertarianism as defined by Bastiat, as defined by Mises, as defined by Jefferson, i doubt you can still make that comparison. Singapore will suck the life out of you. Yes, it is progressive. But singaporeans are among the least happy people on earth. Too much government will make you feel like a chess piece. The goal is not to make a government rich, but to allow the citizens to pursue their own tragedy or success.... I am not into patriotism, having this incessant need for one's country to become great. I am a libertarian, having this principle of "mind your business, as i do mine." Come to think of it, patriotism is the communism of the 21st century... nah, whatever.
    OT: Of course, I love attention. I love it just as much as bursting people's bubbles and bringing them back to reality.

    And by the way, you're doing it wrong when your goal is "happiness" instead of gross domestic product. Happiness doesn't mean anything, not when you have the Philippines and poor South American nations in the top 10 list of happy countries.

    By the way, Singapore's just a small player in the list of progressive nations with heaviyregulations. I'd rather put my money on results instead of an untested, unproven ideology. Just saying.

    see TS when you associate a partylist with a certain religious name is not really that attractive as some maybe allergic with the co-existence with other religions. (well not me!). But come to think about it, a government that controls the market is already a sort of communism. making the market free from who else want a bigger piece of a pie might be too much for others but it is the best way to show liberty in the market... but i think nawala nako sa storya hahaha

    How about encouragement through competition,
    it is when full potential is exerted, honing the skills required
    to acheive what should be excellence, hereby entailing
    a lot of benefits to those who are being catered.

    I apologize for the continuous off topic.
    please ignore my post if uninterested.

    Then a system that accepts inequality instead of overcoming it can't be taken seriously.

    my personal goal as a person is my own happiness... God forbid the government should take that away from me in the name of NATIONAL PROGRESS.

    The goal of a good government is to protect rights of its citizens, and allow them the pursuit to their individual happiness.

    Libertarian ideology is what made US fight against the British for their independence. It also kept inflation rate relatively zero for its first 200 years as a republic. Too bad people who share your views overtook the control at the turn of the 20th century.

    There is no greater amount of competition other than the free market.

    A system that forces equality instead of tolerating individual endeavor is seriously abominable, for who should decide what is equal? On whose measure should we follow? Equality in the protection of rights is the only thing that is moral (in terms of Equality in its other implications), in my POV.
