Prostitution
Prostitution, as voluntary exchange
between consenting adults, could be a victimless "crime," but
government bans make it a punishable crime and drive it into the criminal underground.
Sex's high demand and low supply creates a need for prostitutes, so criminal
pimps will kidnap and coerce modern slaves. This is how women and young girls
get caught in human trafficking. Every client a prostitute serves is an act of
aggression against her body and soul, inflicted on her by her pimp who is her
"State" in the criminal underground. Does government intervention
REALLY help??? –12/2
Anarchism
vs. Minarchism
Anarchist and minarchist libertarians
need to bury the hatchet already. Don't be elitist because you do or don't
believe in eliminating the state right away. A revolution won't magically
happen. We need to CONSOLIDATE the strength of our #libertarian organizations
and work to elect Libertarians and libertarian Republicans who will vote and
fight to End the Fed, end the TSA, fight the IRS, end the warrant-less
wiretapping, bring back a gold or competing minerals standard, protect the 2nd
Amendment, end the war on drugs, and bring our troops home. –12/3
Anarchists
and elections
Libertarian hatchet-burying Part II:
Anarchist and minarchist libertarians often work together in the Libertarian
Party and even the Republican Party's libertarian faction. The an-caps who
participate in the electoral process agree on the following:
--Yes, the state is
"violence", and so participating in elections would constitute in
participating in "violence"
--Since the state has already committed
"violence" by taxing/robbing us and stripping away our liberties, for
libertarians to participate in elections is SELF-DEFENSE, which does not
violate the NAP.
--By building our movement and winning
libertarian victories at the polls, they can use their self-defensive actions
to LOWER and eventually END the violence of the state.
Our movement will NEVER succeed if we
can't pair THEORY with REALITY. –12/3
Attacking
people with truth
Judd Weiss said it best: we need to
DISCUSS our ideas with people, NOT argue or troll. Telling people "YOU'RE
WRONG" is like beating them in the face with the truth, so then people
have to DEFEND against the truth assault. They shut themselves off to our libertarian
message in mental self-defense because our approach was that of a bully. There
are more positive ways to counter their ideas, like "You have a good point
but I see a better solution" or "Actually, I've seen LOTS of evidence
to the contrary." Then they RECEIVE the truth because you're treating them
like a peer, not like the enemy. –12/4
Nelson
Mandela’s lessons
Dear liberty movement: talking shit
about Nelson Mandela for allegedly being a socialist/communist is NO way to win
the liberty movement any supporters. He's far too well beloved, and I guarantee
you any smack talk will burn bridges with potential libertarians coming from
the left. It's much better to use Mandela's life to respectfully promote libertarian
ideas, especially libertarian solutions to approaching and improving race
relations. –12/5
