Right "Libertarians" Are Just Fascists

Anti-Statism is Killing the Libertarian Party

Looks like the Libertarian Party is crashing and burning, leaving only paleo-libertarians and alt-right edgelords behind. Former Chair Joe Bishop-Henchman says it's toxic people. I think it goes a bit deeper than that.
The Libertarian Party didn't fail because of toxic people. It attracted toxic people with its extremist, toxic anti-statism.

Liberty is a government program. The most successful in history. It's not the absence of a state -- it's the presence of the right kind of state.

The right kind of state is a liberal democracy with a well-regulated capitalist economy, a well-funded safety net, and some system of restorative progressive taxation.

The rest is details. And the details...that's hard. That's the purpose of politics. To the libertarian, the goal is liberty, and as such the goal is to find, within that general framework, the sweet spot.

My fellow libertarians, this is exactly what the Democratic Party is into.

Liberty isn't the absence of state it's the presence of choices, abundance, and social concord.

Murray Rothbard: Pioneer on the Libertarian-to-Fascist Trail

 Murray Rothbard practically started the libertarian-to-fascist pipeline. Call him a pioneer on the trail, that became a pipeline, and is now a superhighway. That's how long this has been going on. He went from protesting the war with the hippies to teaming up with fascist Pat Buchanan.

Meanwhile, the Kochs took the gradualist approach. They still went from libertarian to fascist, though. LP to Tea Party to Trumpism, with their think tanks normalizing the ride, and giving the fashies better arguments.

Don't Tread On Me....
