RE: The Alt Right are the Real Libertarians

I don't know if the alt-right is actually grounded solely in white identity, but even if it is, a lot of the logical conclusions of that thought process lead to fascism. As I have seen at my university, a lot of my friends, who were formally republican, and believed in limited government, have shifted over to being self proclaimed fascists. In my discussions with them, they always tell me that certain groups of people make a libertarian society impossible, and suggest that the only way to achieve the society that I desire is through the forceful removal of these groups of people. I can confidently say that no, fascism is not even remotely coherent with libertarianism. A national identity is not a requirement of anarchy. One should be able to choose who they want to associate with, but should not be able to infringe on someone else's rights.

Sort:  

Certain groups of people make a libertarian society impossible because they don't believe in private property norms. Extending private property norms to people who don't believe in them is not the moral high ground. They can't reject private property norms and then appeal to them in their own defense after they violate them. There is nothing wrong with removing these people because their only grounds for objection is norms they already rejected.

If you want to call that fascism, fine. I'd rather be a fascist than a double-speaking communist who extends the protection of private property norms to people who don't reciprocate.

This article isn't about anarchy and your concerns about where the division of labor lead aren't an argument against white people having their own communities. I could just as easily say that anarchy leads to more mass violence than fascism.

One can not freely choose who to associate with if one is forced to include latecomers. This is common sense.
