  • Conversely, I shouldn’t have to spell out my beliefs in order to be treated as a person

    I’m certain that you’re aware that words like communism, socialism and Marxism have a plethora of negative propaganda associated with them. Likewise, terms like libertarian are also dragged through the mud routinely.

    I hope that in the future we can stop using the worst monsters and strawmen from our peers chosen political affiliation to color our view of those peers.

    You realize that libertarianism is not a left right spectrum of the political orientation, correct?

    For example Stalin was an authoritarian based in leftist ideology. Hitler was an authoritarian based in right-wing ideology.

    Notice that while their economic goals are at complete odds with one another, they are both authoritarians.

    I’m libertarian because I believe in freedom of choice. I’m not a conservative because the only things I care about conserving are the oceans and the forests.

    I hope that in the future we can stop using the worst monsters and strawmen from our peers chosen political affiliation to color our view of those peers.
