I applaud this. I'm not a fully fledged libertarian, but have a large amount of admiration for your position. 8)

Let the people flow, too? Ending migration restrictions would be the most consistent position.

Sounds like the answer is "No."


Sometimes when people quote posts they respond to the argument they want the other person to make instead of what is actually being posted. Perhaps 'awesomelyglorious' misinterpreted a few things I said particularly at the end, I thought about the response a little after he made it and thought that may of been the case. I'm not sure but I'm not going to defend arguments that I wasn't making in the first place especially when the person responds in the tone of a person that owns several fedoras.

Quote:
An early source of American libertarianism are the works of Lysander Spooner.

Lysander Spooner's opinions were not all that like those of modern day right-libertarians. http://www.spunk.org/texts/intro/faq/sp001547/secG7.html And in Europe, though it might likely confuse many Americans, the term libertarian typicly refers to the libertarian left, while liberalism would be commonly taken to mean classical liberals, or what Americans generally refer to as libertarians. But the very first person to describe himself politicly as being libertarian was the anarcho-communist Joseph Déjacque. So I feel that the left has more of a valid claim to it than does the right. And I, unlike most other libertarian marxists regard Lenin's "The State and Revolution" as being corelational to Communalism, which is a type of left-libertarian collectivism.

The answer still resembles a "No."
