Tribalism/racism, cash for votes or "everyone gets a pony" are all pretty easy to sell. Does that make them right? Maybe, if you define "success" as "inflicted on the greatest number of people". In that case, contemporary Chinese fascism is the most successful ideology in the world, and yes, Thiel's brand of libertarianism fails.

You know the "Mom Test" for software? Is your software easy enough to use for you mom? If not, then you probably have work to do.
Try the same with your ideology, whatever it is. I know libertarianism (especially Thiel's brand) fails pretty spectacularly.
Ideology != consumer software.
