The problem with Communism is that if requires non greedy people.
The problem with Libertarianism is that it requires non greedy rich people.

Exactly. We're nothing but monkeys in trousers. We have a lot of evolving yet to do, psychologically speaking.

One of the biggest failings with a lot of idealist political systems (anarchism, libertarianism, communism, etc.) is that they try to do away with hierarchies and bosses. But, those are inevitable for great apes. A good setup provides a way to limit and manage the bosses that will inevitably appear. Yes, it legitimizes their power, but by acknowledging it, it also provides a way to limit it.

You guys are wearing trousers? I find it slows down the whole process of throwing feces at my enemies.

Oh, so it’s faster for you to take a shit on command than it is to have trousers to collect the shit so you can just reach back and grab it when you want to?

If so, I’m impressed.

I imagine you haven’t flung much shit or spent much time thinking about it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you can just shit when you want to. You’re probably just a beta trying to impress the shit flinging alpha shit veterans though. :p

If I’m wrong though, all hail floofloof. We’re not worthy!
