The last thing anyone needs to do in politics, is to get off into the tall grass of fantasy and distraction of the fringe elements like listening to communists and libertarians and socialists describe themselves in their own fantasy world of theory.
When Rand Paul goes libertarian on us, we know where he is going.
“The last thing anyone needs to do in politics, is to get off into the tall grass of fantasy and distraction of the fringe elements like listening to communists and libertarians and socialists describe themselves in their own fantasy world of theory.”
You don’t want to use libertarians’ definition of themselves, yet you offered the Libertarian Party platform to support your definition? That seems a bit dissonant.
Anyway, I’ll take you at your word and suggest that we go to an objective, unbiased source for a definition of the word “libertarianism”. Or do you have a problem with that?
