Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29519 Post contents: "Don’t get me wrong - I sympathize with libertarian populism. But I believe that our populism can, and should, come from a radical interpretation of free-market economics reminiscent of the Individualist Anarchists and Rothbard in the 60’s. Immigrant-bashing and Founding-Father-worship is not populism, but elitism of a different kind." You do realize Rothbard was very guilty of founding father worship also, right? Sure, he criticized Washington and Hamilton (as he should). In his series on the Revolution, he tells the story very romantically. And Rothbard in the 60s? You mean the Rothbard that wrote a eulogy to Che Geverra? Hardly his best. In those days he seemed to want to pretend a bunch of militant Stalinists were libertarians. Consequence? Now being antiwar, once though of as being a thing of the radical right is now viewed as automatically leftist. Sent at: 2008 12 02
