amused says:
I agree with the person who said people were jumping the gun. We had one post claiming that the ML “compromised” without stating precisely how. He said that they were willing to accept 70% libertarians and that people didn’t have to be 100% libertarian. What precisely does that mean?
You can be 100% Rothbardian anarchist or a 100% Libertarianz Objectivist cultist. They are very different creatures and both claim to be 100% libertarian denouncing everyone else who doesn’t agree with them. Those aren’t political positions but religions positions run by cults.
We certainly needed far more information that was presented here to judge whether anything awful happened. When the person making the accusations said 70% libertarian people read into it what they are are as a libertarian and then deducted from that. We don’t know what the man’s vision of 100% is so we don’t know what 70% is. He says he an anarchist. Which is why is laughable that an Objectivist cult like the Libz immediately use his post to lament the sorry state of libertarians everywhere in the world except the pure bunch in the Libertarainz Party. A 70% anarchist may well be an Objectivist like Cresswell.
I was particularly amused to see the link that the Objectivist from NZ posted to promote his lecture on the morality of politics and how we can all be successful libertarian candidates if we follow the gospel according to Ayn Rand (or is it Lindsay Perigo?). He says the unelected Naumann foundation preached to the elected ML. But then we have the unelected Libz preaching to everybody. As I understand it FNF doesn’t run candidates so of course it’s not elected. That’s just an absurd remark for Cresswell to make. But it is affiliated with the FDP in Germany which is in the ruling coalition in the majority of provinces and will form part of the government in September. So in fact they are elected and far more successfully than the Libz who can’t manage over about a quarter of one percent (that is if they remember to mail in their candidates papers in time -- which they forgot to do in the last election).
