Thanks for commenting on it then. Without an official position statement from Giles Stratton, we wouldn’t know how to proceed. [;)]
Don’t listen to Giles.
According to the mighty wisdom of Wikipedia, Fusionism is the hybrid of conservatism and libertarianism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusionism_(politics)
‘The strategy was advocated and named “fusionism” by National Review editor Frank Meyer’
YES FRANK MEYER! Here is a guy and a publication that libertarians should listen to with honest ears. We must ‘fuse’ with the creators of NeoConservatism!
Wikipedia KNOWS NO WRONGS!
Zomg! It is the written gospel of knowledge for even the most ignorant can write what they think about a subject they know nothing about!
I think you’ve scared our opponents away on dreamviews, Laughing Man.
The amount of semantic topics that appear on these fora IS staggering ?
Yeah, unregulated monopolies instated by the state are unrestricted capitalism… aha. What? I despair when I read the crap spewed by some people. Really.
Don’t despair.
Simply because a philosophy arrives at the same conclusion as two others doesn’t make it a hybrid. While Libertarianism can be arrived at as combining the radical left and the radical right doesn’t mean that this is the way it originated. I might make a triangle by adding an angle onto a line, but I can also make a triangle by building the entire shape as a whole
Libertarianism is its own principal derived from different thinking than either the thought used to formulate the right or left, simply because it agrees with both of those principals in certian radical areas doesn’t mean that it was made by smashing the two together.
To sum it up it could be viewed as a hybrid of the radicals but this is not the way that it originated.
