Syncretic Politics, in America Options

[fameONE]

I was dozing off and listening to NPR last night and I began to wonder if a syncretic political structure would work in America. It has elements of centrism, but in a nutshell; when the ideological political structure starts running a muck, syncretic politics would take a moderate approach to rebuild.

To me, it sounds pretty good, but then you run the risk of giving the state too much power. No American wants Marxist-like centrism. Well, you do if you're a Marxist (lolz). Still, it could be possible, seeing as though Libertarianism (syncretic ideal) is growing more and more popular.

Thoughts, feelings, concerns, etc?

Well, it's hard to say whether it would work or not, considering that with the political system designed as it is, it would require third party emergence, which is implicitly resisted. It might require a syncretic radicalism for things to change, or something of the sort, so at that point, how could you really determine whether a syncretic political structure would work?

Or are you actually just referring to whether libertarianism in general would work for America? Because that's probably a lot more debatable than how I initially interpreted the question. My main worry about libertarianism is that while laissez-faire capitalism might balance out economically, I have a hard time believing that corporations would keep themselves in check without government interference concerning things like environmental hazards, or keeping prices low on necessities (haven't really thought that one through recently, just as a disclaimer).
