Ron Paul Leads Us Again

September 22, 2013

Just as the word liberal was lost to us, has libertarian been tainted, too? This time by state politics and social issues? It’s one reason I like to use Rothbard’s anarcho-capitalist, though I am not ready to give up on libertarian, to which he gave the correct meaning. It’s a political philosophy he said, period. But in the Charlie Rose interview, Ron said he preferred to be called a non-interventionist: no intervention in the economy, in personal lives, in other countries. Very Rothbardian, very neat.
