It seems to me that advocates of libertarianism make implicit
assumptions about society e.g. there would be enough voluntary
contributions to take care of social problems so that these problems
would not threaten the existence and stability of the libertarian
system.  As an aid to understanding what assumptions are made and how
reasonable these assumptions are, would someone describe how the
following countries can be transformed to stable libertarian
societies:

     Grenada, Haiti, Namibia, the Philippines, and South Africa. 

All these countries are in some form of transition and thus seem to be
just ripe for installing a libertarian form of government.
