@fu So are you.

He'd still be good at the job.

If you were a former customer of a car dealership and got a postcard asking you to visit for a free gift and an opportunity to be entered into a prize drawing, would you take advantage of it?

@fu It's a bullshit argument, like most of Putin's arguments.

I used to be Chair of the Libertarian National Committee.

Mises Caucus management installed in 2022 has been an abject failure & disgrace.

It is a critical priority for all supporters of mutual aid, equal justice, and self determination to replace them as soon as possible.

Here's how we do it.

@dragonsidedd this article goes into the situation in some detail: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/04/the-spectacular-implosion-of-the-libertarian-party/

@fu what about it?

@Sfwmson Let's start with the public library model and expand on that.

@Sfwmson That is an insightful observation.

“But the alt-right and the Mises Caucus shared some common influences. The Mises Caucus adored Rothbard and pledged its opposition to not just “political opportunists” but “identity hustlers.” Another hero was a Mises Institute fellow named Hans-Hermann Hoppe, who advocated for major restrictions on non-white immigration. He said in 2017, “Any promising libertarian strategy must, very much as the Alt-Right has recognized, first and foremost be tailored and addressed to…the most severely victimized people,” which he identified as “White married Christian couples with children.” (Mises the economist, for what it’s worth, was a Jewish refugee from Nazism who believed that “every person [has] the right to live wherever he wants.”)”

@dragonsidedd You are misinformed.

Self determination, equal justice, and mutual aid are the core of libertarianism.

@Beeks What about when they are gone?

"Libertarianism is clearly the most, perhaps the only truly radical movement in America. It grasps the problems of society by the roots. It is not reformist in any sense. It is revolutionary in every sense." -Karl Hess

@Beeks Houses are cleaned up from worse every day.

Reconstruction is possible and good.

“Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine over two years ago for basically the same reason Russia launched military action against Ukraine in 2014 and Georgia in 2008: because Putin wants to and can.”

@fu before MAGA, serious people would suggest that Libertarians and Republicans were natural allies.

What would it be worth to remove the Mises Caucus permanently from the Libertarian Party?

“Don’t get caught up in a “dissident” identity, especially if you live in a liberal society (however flawed). Don’t confuse skepticism with contrarianism, or truth-seeking with conspiracy theory. Stay away from toxic allies (you know the ones: the cranks, grifters and bigots).”
