Fool Me Once...
Some libertarian leaning sorts are disappointed but not surprised that Republican and ex-Massachusetts governor William Weld bailed on the NY state Republican primary and is instead gonna go with the NYLP nomination for NY governor. Well, at least he's honest enough to admit that LPers are routinely being swindled, duped, and lied to by Republicans for their own political gain and electoral benefit. And shame on them for falling for it too. Hey LPers! How many times are you gonna get hornswoggled before you get it?
Coalitions or fusion tickets with the GOP are not gonna work. Ever. Why do I say this? Because I've been there and done that.
And screw electoral politics anyhow. Most people don't want and can't fathom ever living in a condition of meaningful liberty, whether anarchist (no state) or minarchist (small & very limited state) in form. Efforts toward that end are just wankerism, pure & simple. Such conditions of liberty can only be made real,(IMHO), by voluntary efforts.
The only possible above ground collective political action that I can see ever working is something like the Free State Project. And I have doubts about them sometimes too. Crypto-anarchism or ex-pat enclaves in loosely (state)governed areas of the world are about the best people can do if they truly want to form liberty-based communities that might actually succeed and endure.
'Dats how I see it any how
