I’m making an absurd philosophy-class point. The specific thing I took issue with was that we ought to call ourselves libertarians if we champion “live and let live”. I don’t think it makes sense to call a person a “libertarian” unless individual liberty is a core value for them. So I think I’m politically aligned with a lot of libertarian socialists, and I am probably an ally of theirs, I don’t share their underlying values.
Basically I’m saying, “Hey, don’t call me a libertarian.” And, let’s face it, that’s because my dad is a libertarian.
