So her argument is: I don’t like Libertarians because they are mostly white males and or college students that don’t attribute their successes and failures to the system. Instead they believe they are responsible for what happens in their lives and don’t look to third parties for mandatory charity. Also they are stupid and ridiculous and should live on an island or in The Iraq or maybe Somalia.
But don’t you see? Any ideology which is adhered to many by a white college student demographic must inherently be wrong! With such powerful logic, I have nothing left to do but cast off my anarcho-capitalist beliefs (actually, fascism, from the other overpoweringly logical video). Just a few statist chains hanging round my neck, and I’ll be free as an eagle! The seas will turn to kool-aid, and beautiful women will swoon on sight.
I remember making a comment on Slashdot, where someone responded that my comment was a “Randian teenage rant.” This is what passes as logic for the statists. When confronted by a logic that attacks the entire system in which they have been indoctrinated in for life, their only response is to resort to the ad hominem, attacking the messenger as a juvenile fool who’ll quickly grow up and cast off those silly beliefs. I suppose they have never heard of Nock, Walter Block, or any other individual who grew up and maintained anarchism.
Marx: white
Engels: white
French 19th century revolutionaries: white
Emma Gold: white
J.Maynard Keynes: white
Thomas More: white Robert Owen: white Henri de Saint Simon: white
The post Daniel was responding to said that most socialists were white, not most Marxists. And Emma Goldman and Thomas More were both socialists. Keynes was not, but he did admire socialism.
I assume they also believe that objectivism was an ideology spawned through the leaking of Ayn Rand’s high school diary and upon reaching the age of 25 she was mortified.
