Real News Debate: Has Libertarianism’s Time Come?

June 11, 2013 at 12:28am

As far as the article regarding who’s time has come. The premise is faulty to begin with. It is an appeal to tradition. Before the founding fathers was there a country with the system espoused in America. Before communism, which took a radical change, were there communist governments. No, of course not. There were theorists known as Jacobian Socialists years before Marx. Did that mean they could not have been. Well we know they were and often violently.

here is a philosophical answer to this idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkcY7SVBG-4

here is Tom Woods with a rationalized response: http://www.tomwoods.com/blog/the-question-libertarians-just-cant-answer/

I prefered Jeff Tucker’s response: https://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.albert.tucker/posts/10151398505026198
Real News Debate: Has Libertarianism’s Time Come?

These are really simplistic concerns in many regards. Why cannot SSI work as an opt in program or money market accounts for those who desire much the way vouchers occurred. Those have been common republican refrains for some time.

As far as the civil rights act. Much of it was as Nick said however one aspect which is specifically which Rand refered to in this previous case. Here is a post I made on the http://www.reddit.com/r/libertarian site:

To answer your question “civil rights” in general…uh I guess it depends what one means by it. In general libertarians are for advancing individual liberty. This encompasses a large part of civil rights. Generally when someone brings this up they point to “the right to access” businesses.

The libertarian position on this is basically why force a ******* to serve those they’d prefer not to. This is looked at poorly by most on the left but consider what the alternate is. Black people may be shopping at a racist store location enriching the man who is racist. Now if the government offers something it should be open to absolutely everyone.

The libertarian recourse also exists to these situations, boycotts protests ect are encourage to basically damage their reputation and livelihood such that you hurt their livelihood (matches action like the chik-fil-a moves mostly by the left not too long ago).

The potential knock here is to the isolated, 1 black person in town of 100. This person probably has no store alter

In reply to jackact.

Not by giving the government control of drones on american land. You want the future. I think saying that is stupid frankly but at least if you are going to play with them keep them out of American land.
Can You Be a Libertarian and a Conservative at the Same Time?

In reply to Jedrin.

@johnoforegen

So progressives are big government socialist. What republicans keep voting for more government?

Well lets look to spending under Bush-Medicare D, the patriot act, the militarization of police, the drug war, the fight against gay rights

>SE Culp just proposed a whole new layer of thought police and run Christians out of the party. Is that not progressive? She attacked CPAC for being conservative, I know she is not elected but is that conservative or progressive?

Here is the libertarian look on this. Ok, it is your right to disclude gays from your club. But if I take issue with that I can tell people that is why I won’t go there. I can encourage others not to do so. Now furthermore progressivism would be if she encouraged the government to pass a law saying you have to take the gays. This is social pressure. There is a strong difference as one reflects the people’s moral stance and the other reflects force of some groups version. Also how does this run Christians out of the party. Your values are your own. You just don’t get to legislated them. Keep your CPAC if you want.
