The Founding Fathers rejected anarchy because they knew that in the long run it would evolve into gang warfare and a form of statism of gang rule.The Founding Fathers were seeking a golden mean of freedom between big government statism and anarchy.
Ayn Rand had a great quote skewering Libertarians like Paul’s mentors- basically she called them (paraphrased) ‘hippies of the right that trade rationalism for political whims and capitalism for anarchy...’
“The Founding Fathers rejected anarchy because they knew that in the long run it would evolve into gang warfare and a form of statism of gang rule.”
Ridiculous. Anarchy was not even on the table for rejection because local and state governments alredy existed as legitimate respected authority against gang warfare and gang rule.
“The Founding Fathers were seeking a golden mean of freedom between big government statism and anarchy.”
Wrong again. The Founding Fathers were seeking a balance between the several states’ authority and a Federal Government they feared would evolve into big government statism.
