Molyneux continues to embarrass Libertarian movement

[Jon_Irenicus]

In the case of buisiness-state and church-state relations, it’s usually a tit for tat in which one is granted special privileges so long as loyalty is maintained to the other. As a consequence of this, religious and economic institutions can effectively be artificially strengthened through patronage with the state. They’re never really eliminated, they just become more like states in themselves and become part of a parasitic class. They’ve hardly been historical enemies of the state at all.

Yes, that is what I mean though, the amalgamation is effective destruction.

Why does everything go back to the reds with you, as if that’s an example of statism as a whole?

It’s an example nonetheless, albeit one that’s all too inconvenient for you.

@Brainpolice

some kind of bastion of virtue that is always opposed to the state.

@Brainpolice

None of that aims at abolishing the family so much as co-opting and controling it. The abolition of the family as such, however, doesn’t follow.

So now you’re playing semantic games?

Redundant thread is redundant.

The state’s purpose is to pursue the agenda of the gay mafia and overthrow the heterosexual male and the inherent virtuosity of heterosexuality. [^o)]

I do not see why the traditionalists cannot isolate the virtues they see in traditional social forms and defend those, rather than defending tradition qua tradition.

Woah, did you read the date on that? Long’s opinions haven’t changed for over 12 years?

“There is a road to freedom. Its milestones are Obedience, Endeavor, Honesty, Order, Cleanliness, Sobriety, Truthfulness, Sacrifice, and love of the Fatherland.” -Hitler

Sounds good.

I had in mind “Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction”

Giles, Roderick’s position is that voting isn’t immoral, but it is inefficient and should be minimized as a strategy.

Sorry, I posted this elsewhere without noticing this thread…

As you may know, Freedomain Radio was featured in an article in the British newspaper The Guardian last weekend.

Now, as we all know, the mainstream media is often far from accurate when it comes to representing libertarian, free-market or voluntarist ideas. I think that this article is a very good example of how a source can take a reporter for a ride.

If you would like to read the article, and my response to it, you can click below, I think it is very interesting, please let me know what you think.

That is my view as well. From a moral standpoint (depending on your motivation for voting at least) it can be justified as a form of self-defense, its effectiveness is another matter. It could be compared to using a medicine dropper filled with water to try to put out a forest fire.
