. I surprised my liberal friends back then when I agreed Nixon should be impeached. .
I thought he deserved it for wage and price controls. Those and the Guns and Butter Policy during the Vietnam War set up this nation for inflation and stagflation and all its consequences. .
I first read the magazine SOL III, a very libertarian newsletter. It was so virulently libertarian that they went completely underground spinning off my subscription to Libertarian Review. After them, reason Magazine. So my Libertarian credentials are valid. Add to the pot Rothbard, von Mises & Hayek and a pinch of Rand and I think I know libertarianism. .
Libertarians are not supposed to be anarchists or outright libertines. Order is necessary in a civilized society if economic and social markets are to exist. Libertarians talk of private courts and binding contracts between free people. An injured party outside of the contract would still have right to sue for damages done to him because of this contract. Slavery therefore is not allowed to exist and a person’s freedom has an economic valued in this mythical libertarian non-governmental state.
THIS STATED: To you alleged Libertarians. Trade with a state like Cuba Or China would not occur under your system. You would be sued in private court by the people harmed and pay damages (hopefully confiscatory.) .
Get that through your FREE TRADE heads. Free trade can only exist when FREE people trade. .
Sorry but the discourse here today was venom with no substance. I know, I know, we are not truly free, but its your definiton I use. As a Libertarian you can not trade with a slave state or someone who benenfits from that trade.Now if you want to srgue that Cuba is not a slave state, go on.
