I see what you mean, trying to label things can lead to oversimplification.
It seems to me that pretty much no one can stop the crazy guy doing what he wants, short of a coup or assassination. I'd call that bullshit, whatever else you might call it.
At the end of the day Rob all political philosophies are utopian. All of them *work* given ideal (and more often than not unrealistic) variables that play out in their favour.
None of them, in this regard, can be thought of as 'wrong'.
Of course, the world isn't perfect, and neither are people or their ideas, and so often even the best political machinations will reflect this. That's why, in the agent/structure debate, I'm somewhere in the middle. ^_^
