libertarians are not conservative
they confuse liberty and license for one
>> libertarians are not conservative
Nonsense. I’m a conservative libertarian. You’re probably a conservative statist.
WHat I have often found is confusion between the ideal world, where libertarianism would work out just perfectly, versus the real world, where very people have a truly libertarian attitude for a variety of reasons. People want their welfare, people don’t want to take the consequences for their actions, people don’t want to just believe things alone, etc. Once it is realized that so much of the national/world population feels this way, there is where you realize how idealistic libertarianism is. In fact, it’s really hard to not embrace some degree of statism.
