LIBERTARIANS: GIVEN OUR LACK OF SUFFICIENT NUMBERS WITHIN OUR MAJORITY RULE POLI

LIBERTARIANS: GIVEN OUR LACK OF SUFFICIENT NUMBERS WITHIN OUR MAJORITY RULE POLITICAL SYSTEM:

Would you rather have a society that accommodated conservative moral codes, but were guaranteed private property rights and a constrained state, or would you rather have a society that accommodated progressive moral codes and were specifically denied property rights by an omnipotent state?

You get to choose one or the other. There is no third option. Libertarian ethics are intolerable to conservatives because of conservative concern for the ‘commons’ of moral capital, and progressives for because of their concern for the ‘commons’ of physical capital.

We have failed. We will continue to fail. Mercantile aristocratic egalitarianism (libertarianism) is insufficient in moral breadth to accomodate martial aristocratic egalitarianism (conservatives) OR to accommodate equalitarian socialists (progressives). People vote moral codes. Period.

There are too few of us. It isn’t a question of ‘understanding’. Or of ‘communication’. It’s a question of morality and immorality. Rothbardian ethics are insufficiently moral to enfranchise enough individuals to obtain the power needed to enact policy that protects property rights. Conservatives and progressives alike consider our moral code immoral. We can’t convert them.

Period.
