Today I ran across by chance the article mentioned below. It is a reminder of how the extreme elements
that have control of the Libertarian Party can take things in a horrible
way. In private conversations lately I’ve
compared the extremists in control of the party with the losers to Stalin in his
removal of the more liberal Bolsheviks who supported Lenin.
The article
is Why libertarianism is closer to Stalinism than you think.
This
passage really made me think: “Libertarianism, in short, resonates with an avid
quest for political purity.”
Much in the article is unduly harsh,
and I disagree with some of its premises and conclusions. But it
frames something that needs to be considered by reasonable Libertarians worried
about the viability of the Libertarian Party.
