how do we reconcile so called ‘vulgar libertarianism’, the Cato institute and other institutions that often defend big business. how do we ‘convert’ or work with the Campaign for Liberty, the Libertarian Party and other big libertarian enitities?
There is no “we”. This forum has a lot of individuals, and except a couple group blogs, I’m not seeing any meaningful sort of off-forum organization or collaboration.
Unfortunately.
I think every individual should make their own judgments on this. I am willing to participate and work with several different so-called “vulgar libertarian” enterprises. Not all, but many.
Defending big business is about the least of their faults. They defend the American Empire, the antithesis of libertarianism.
If you want to fortify libertarianism you must rehabilitate the idea of secession.
Who defends the american empire?
I’ll spoon feed. Tell me when you are ready for me.
“We” don’t, “we” distance ourselves from them.
Well “vulgar libertarians” are right about the majority of issues.
ya, a lot of times i can’t help but be a vulgar libertarian, meh
^ Same here. I end up defending sweat shops a lot, for example. I also point out that working conditions would be better in the third world if it wouldn’t be for regulation, taxation, and subsidies that big corporations get, but it is still important to show that workers have a choice between subsistence farming and sweat shops and they choose the latter due to its superiority.
That was like 3/2 centuries ago. Who defends the modern empire systematically.
Oops, looks like I missed your reply.
Celebrating the coming of age of the American Empire is different from defending it today?
But don’t worry I wasn’t done with that. I said I’d spoon feed you, after all.
Can’t get much more modern than the occupation of Afghanistan.
