Usury (interest of any kind) is immoral.
Pragmatism is aversion to principle.
No valid philosophy can't be practiced to the nth degree.
The human life-form is not a comfort zone experience.
All statist positions are cowardice.
There is no future for men who don't man up.
Holding your words to these truths above reveals you appear to be seeking escape, while knowing there is no escape. You will gain no utility if James Corbett devolved to join you in your futile search for escape. Surely you've been down before and got back up. Get off your knees, death has no enemy.
Arise - Amebix
Well we've all heard the sermon seen The preachers or worshipped the stage Heard the new manifesto? It's all questions no solutions at all Well, you're out on your own now, always have been Just look at your friends Break the surface to daylight Strength will flow through our unity. There is a traitor in our midst And when we rise we will be betrayed They are the wolves in sheep's clothing Take the place at the back of the flock All this talk about freedom Will be tainted with blood (it's your life) Put this cross on your back child Tread the long weary trail to the top of the hill ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES! There's some hard times coming down There's the smell of revolution on the wind Well, we're grinding down our axes Telling tales round the bonfire at night We will set out with a fire in our hearts When this darkness gives way to the dawn In the light we're united as one For the kingdom of heaven must be taken by storm! ARISE! GET OFF YOUR KNEES! STAND UP!

No valid philosophy can't be practiced to the nth degree. If a philosophy must be tempered by pragmatism then it is not a valid philosophy, it is sophistry.
Sophistry deserves base rejection. Does Chomsky have a valid philosophy? Ideological alignment with anarcho-syndicalism yields no valid philosophy. Alignment with libertarian socialism yields no valid philosophy.
Anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism deserve base rejection. Those with no valid philosophy invoke sophistry to appeal for undeserved respect for what they posture as "nuanced" indifference to truth, often while petitioning statist initiation of aggression, simultaneously clinging to pragmatism (aversion to principle) as an entitlement construct.
Anarcho-capitalism or else, and you already have the "else". What you don't have is James Corbett, and I suspect you never will. The real question arising is why do you desire to have him?
Save yourself.
