    Voters may increasingly understand that others should not rule them, but do not yet understand that they should not rule others.

    Excellent. Exactly matches my views, but really well organized and stated. Thank you, Jeff.

    Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.

    He nailed it. But the solution is not libertarianism. The answer is separation. Borders, Language, Culture, Race, Religion.

      Multiculturalism is Communism. Race is politics. Libertarianism is folly and depends on a functional white Christian society.

      @@loremipsum7471 Christians vary greatly in their moral and social views as well as theology. Furthermore, you can have a libertarian Buddhist society or Muslim society, or, in the case of race, Asian society or African society, etc.

    3:30 - About Democracy. Last election in France the Socialists weren't going to win so they told all the people who would have voted for them to vote for the Conservatives in order to stop the Front National from winning.
    You know Socialists. The people who spent their life hating on Conservatives (unless there is a bigger baddy - then the Conservatived are okay lol)

    But the Basic Income was something Friedman and Hayek advocated for. I see it as a better alternative to the current and ever expanding compulsory welfare state. it limits government welfare by consolidating it into a check in the mail for everyone than carving out a dependent class while also creating an opening for the re-emergence of a Civil Society.

    I consider myself as both an alt-righter and a free marketer. My main reasons for going to the right were, in a nutshell, 1) rejection of the NAP, and 2) biological/cultural acknowledgement of "the other", something I find missing in libertarianism

    The libertarianism espoused by the Mises Inst is completely different to the libertarianism of Ron Paul. Ron Paul's libertarianism was hugely popular because it educated us out of the left-right paradigm with its set boundaries, set oppositions.
    This has since been completely lost, almost like it never happened, in fact its worse now - you get the feeling that so called right libertarians have no interest in common ground with so called left libertarians. What a failure for the movement.

      I don't like the term at all myself - libertarianism is supposed to dissolve the left-right paradigm, not fit into it....

      So you're not concerned that so-called "right-libertarianism" is by definition philosophically self-contradictory?

      Yes, I would. I'd want to know if I was wrong! Rothbard's so called refutation of Georgist tax policy (the only tax system that reduces monopoly and reduces the State) is based on a basic misunderstanding of how such a system would work. As for Hoppe, does anyone at all understand what he says?
      How about some plain talking? Frank Chodorov: "It is obvious that if rent were socialized - that is, publicly collected and used for social purposes - the power of the State would decline, and eventually disappear. The governing body could not hide its inefficiency or corruption behind tax levies. Rent would be the barometer of government's value to the citizenry, and the readings would be quite visible. The producers would be buying social services just as they buy private services or goods. The price would be rent. Government would come into the market. […] The socialization of rent would destroy taxes. The State (as we know it) would disappear; and such government as we would have would be always subject to the economic instrument of rent."

    The alt-right issue with libertarians is that they can convene in a considerably large group and remain oblivious to the fact that not only would that group be a white supermajority, their groups are always that, and libertarians will deny that race has anything to do with it.
    Soon, they will have to accept that white nationalism and libertarianism are just two sides to the same coin.

    Another empty feedback loop for conservative ego stroking.
