"One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, 'our side' had captured a crucial word from the enemy. 'Libertarians', had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over." ~Murray Rothbard

Oh, so now it's left-wing anarchists too?

I always thought the point of anarchists was they wanted the wings cut off.

The point is, here is the "founder of American libertarianism" admitting he captured a word from what he called his enemy. That he describes his enemy as left wing only proves that he is right wing.

I doubt you know enough about the French Revolution to know what the metaphor means, but I'll give you a hint, it is socioeconomic and the language has become so muddled that the metaphor is meaningless. American politics are occupied by two "right wing" parties and a "libertarian party" even further to the right than both.

Lol, and you said I'm frothy?

Seems like you've proven what I said before to be correct.


Thanks for playing.
 
Ah, so you're just a troll and don't know shit about politics, philosophy or economics. Stop playing.
Nah, I'm just ignoring it because we've circled that topic more times than the moon has circled the planet.

By all means tho, don't let me stop you talking to yourself.
 
I have two words for you, libertarian socialism.

You have me mouthing at the foam. cn
