Ron Paul: A Complete Disaster for Libertarianism
Posted in: Politics
Although I have some nuanced differences with Stefan Molyneux (his failure to distinguish between a free market and “capitalism” in the video below being one example), he does one of the better recent jobs of explaining part of the case for an “anti-political” (actually intensely political, but extra-parliamentary) approach to building Liberty. That understanding ultimately boils down to libertarianism being opposed root and branch to all forms of statism. The last thing we need is Ron Paul “saving the Republic”, as “the Republic” is a criminal enterprise.
“… if you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band…” — Murray Rothbard
I could go on about the subtleties of my differences with Molyneux, but what’s most important right now is to watch the man and learn — Ron Paul is a disaster for libertarianism.
But if not via “politics”, how then are we to win our Liberty? Revolution.
