Larken Rose had libertarianism on vinyl
 
Federal income tax resister and libertarian author Larken Rose is concerned about the ideological purity of the libertarian community. In the video, he laments fair-weather free-marketers with a wishy washy commitment to orthodox dogma. While the most visible libertarians range from Randian anti-humanists to paleo-conservative rugged individualists to your odd college pot-smoker, I really don’t think any of these archetypes screams “trendy.”

As a socialist, I can’t help but feel a little comradery with Rose, despite our antithetical economic philosophies; he seems like a sweet guy, and it’s frustrating to have your politics constantly misrepresented and misunderstood by the public at large.

At the same time, no offense dude… but I really wouldn’t worry about those libertarian poseurs.
