Avowed libertarians are, shall we say, waaay off track. I researched their party platform years ago, which they subsequently, prettified.
All open borders, “free flow of people and goods”.
ALL p*rn legalized.
Free speech means if people want to post p*rn on bus sides or anywhere in public, fine.
All drugs legalized.
All prostitution legalized.
That’s what I remember. The founder of the party wanted child p*rn legalized. I guess that was a bit too much for them, or they saw it would look bad...
so many things look good “on paper” (including, hypothetically, communism). Yet, they prove to be utterly non-viable in the real world.
My deceased Marine half-brother was a big fan of the Libertarian platform and, later, voted for only Libertarian presidential candidates. Have no idea where he picked up that mindset, or whether his time in Chu Lai (Vietnam) had anything to do with it.
