About us

An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.

Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.

What do you think about Ron Paul? Was he the hope and dream of our movement or just a republican quack?

I think Ron Paul was pretty inspirational to me at one point. Recently, I wonder whether he's just another Russian shill.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I'm pretty disappointed with his more recent statements and actions.

But he was at one point very inspirational to me as well. People change, so I'm just going to attribute his latter behaviors with getting older and losing his mind/principles.
