Your hatred of libertarianism is based on the flawed premise that they are necessarily racist because they believe in Federalism. How about if I call my position Federalism? The reason I don't use that term is because it gets confused with Federalist, which is strangely different . . . |

You are mistaken. I don't associate libertarianism with racism at all.
I associate libertarianism with weak central government, so weak that the individual is left naked and defenseless against the corporate interests. I too believe in federalism, just not in a federal structure where the states have enough power to challenge the central government. We went down that road in 1861. I see government as a tool to be used for the betterment of people. My hatred of libertarianism is rooted in the threat to take that tool out of my hands. |
