    Libertarian lets the cat out of the bag. (MF here is Milton Friedman).https://twitter.com/GeorgeSelgin/status/1038802465934782470 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    George Selgin @GeorgeSelgin
    It IS problematic! But what option wasn’t? My own “libertarian” sentiments bristle at the notion of a racist white regime. But my utilitarian-economist self can’t help asking, “what will the alternative’s consequences be?” That is all that MF did.

        One of the few positive outcomes of Trump's ascension to the Presidency is that these right-wing jokers just say all the quiet parts out loud, now.

        I mean, what else do we expect from an ideology [libertarianism] that can trace its lineage directly to John C. Calhoun who thought he was a victim of government coercion because they taxed his wealth, which he "earned" through slavery.
