Reason magazine recently held this forum. My question: Is it wise to platform such a reactionary outfit? Are there any limits to who deserves a respectful hearing? At the very least, shouldn't it have former LP member Andy Craig on to offer some unvarnished perspective on the MC as per this piece for #TheUnPopulist? https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/how-the-libertarian-party-became

Something super clever at The UnPopulist today: A photo-essay by writer Eve Fairbanks comparing MAGA art to Communist propaganda art, in other words, Conummist art. The parallels are eerie and creepy and startling! She notes:
"Of all artistic movements, Trumpist art was likeliest to channel socialist realism because Trumpism as a philosophy has a great deal in common with socialist realism, no matter how much it condemns “radical Marxism” for rally boo-lines.
