Bleeding Heart Libertarians

New blog.

It’s a fusion of libertarianism with social justice principles. There’s only three posts, one of which is an introduction, so I’m not looking for responses to anything, but I thought a lot of you might find it interesting to keep up with these guys.

Personally, I’m pretty skeptical. I don’t see the point of using the term “social justice” to mean “helping the poor.” It seems like a neat idea that’s devoid of substance. I think some interesting discussions will result, but I don’t think any real advances will be made.

First impressions/thoughts/predictions?

I just hope it becomes something uniquely new, not just left-libertarian or anarcho-capitalist, it’d be interesting.

They should read Anthony de Jasay to learn why social justice is a meaningless concept:
