Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29550 Post contents: I have flirted with a couple of small political parties in the UK. One party was formed by an intellectual. It has moved forward in leaps and bounds since its intellectual leader was replaced by someone more a go-getter politician. That doesn't necessarily mean anything because the other party is run by a non-intellectual marketing man and is going nowhere, very quickly! In general, although all parties needs their intellectuals, it is best that they not be the leader or you could (not would) always run the risk of what is happening with the official Libertarian Party. I am an ex-soldier (not an officer) who spent over twenty years in sales and marketing and over twenty years in journalism. The very many intellectuals, on reading this will automatically discount my remarks. But the sooner they realise that both types are necessary to ensure anything happening on the political front, and can manage to respect each for what they can offer, there will always be the problems that the Libertarian Party is going through right now.
