re: #346 Charles
In a way I have to hand it to Ron Paul. His position in US politics is pretty unique. He’s found a formula that appeals to the extremists on both sides, a distorted libertarian ideology that includes the most repressive memes of the religious right and the most delusional isolationism of the radical left.
There is an established church of libertarian-leftwing thought. Absolute personal liberty and destruction of state structures in pursuit of perfect community.
