“Socialist”
left academics at the Jacobin and their libertarian right equivalents at the
Cato Institute have the exact same
views and
rationalizations on questions of sexuality, family values, religion,
immigration, drugs, globalism, crime and
race.
This has been the point of
the posts that I have written on the topic of libertarians
and culture. These are the social views crammed down the throats
of most people and would never pass muster for the majority.
Their
consensus is highly unpopular even across racial lines in America and would
never survive democratic scrutiny, but
ordinary people are not
allowed to participate in academia, non-profit foundations or media.
The working class has
been abandoned by the democrats in favor of this agenda; conservatives were
abandoned by the republicans long ago, with republicans silent (at best) on
this agenda.
Libertarians? Eric
Striker identified the libertarian movement with the quote at the top of this
post. It is no different than the socialist movement for most
Americans – and for conservative libertarians.
