I would have picked a different adjective instead of Libertarian for Rand especially after not only his actions but also that he has said publicly he is not libertarian.
Wow! the idea that "Rand blew it." assumes that a political solution to our very complicated psycho/social/economic deterioration is possible. It isn't. Politics is about people getting away with murder in order to live big on minimal effort. There is no way this activity ever leads to a libertarian society. Boycott politics. Don't vote. There is a better way.
So you don't think Ron Paul did any good when he ran as president and introduced millions to libertarianism? Yeah, keep your blog comments coming, you will convert millions.
Hey, if Ron ever said he had a chance, I would have dropped him like the proverbial. The WHOLE campaign was for EDUCATION, not political power!!! Sheesh, I thought that was obvious!
True. Rand's indecisiveness killed him when he could've at least left a ripple. He stands for nothing and his campaign will amount to nothing, electorally or otherwise.

ReplyDeleteI think that is Wenzel's point, Rand is not a libertarian.

Come on guys. From Rand's own point of view Rand blew it.

DeleteAnybody but Rand. We don't want any association with THE CRASH.
ReplyDeleteWho is this "we"?
DeleteI didn't want any association with Rand before the "crash", because all of this could have been seen coming from the start.
