Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29445 Post contents: Justin has put his finger on something important when he notes the easy determinism which is best associated with the name of Herbert Spencer. This is a fatal flaw at the core of libertarian ideology, the idea that an invisible hand is moving us towards some sort of facile, eudamonistic, utopia. Even Ayn Rand was better than today's Washington centered "cosmopolitan-libertarians"...she knew that sacrifice was neccessary to attain anything of value (as much as she rightly hated the meaning of sacrifice in other contexts). But the beltway libers think that they can serve the revolution by the usual processes of social climbing and ingratiating themselves with the powers that be.
