      It's like the old debate about how much intolerance can a tolerant society tolerate. If you believe that government is the ultimate evil, then using government--even in the pursuit of virtuous goals--is a doubled-edged sword. Racism may be evil, but government is more evil.

      Back when I was a libertarian, I don't recall anyone advocating racism on libertarian grounds. But neither did any libertarian think racism was a particularly serious problem. THE problem was government and to the extent racism was problem it's because it was government-enforced.

      Someone a few years ago — maybe @delong? — posted a long letter from Robert Heinlein to H. Beam Piper from the early 1960s on civil rights. The letter is Heinlein unwittingly demonstrating that libertarianism had nothing at all to offer the victims of racism.

      Yes, I remember that. Notable because Heinlein didn't see the problem with racially exclusive racial covenant contracts.

      They’re contracts! The most sacred thing! I mean sure they bind parties not present and in perpetuity but hey

      In the case of Rothbard though it goes beyond the typical blindness of whites to systematic racism. He knew what racism was and he openly embraced it.

      I genuinely don’t see why the Mises faction even cares about the LP at this point except force of habit. The Trumpified GOP is the Rockwell-Rothbard Report brought to life. Any paleolibertarian wanting to do politics can do so in a major party!

      I'm working on something on this but it's a plausible to see all this as a Bannon ratfucking operation designed to eliminate a party that takes away GOP votes.

      See here. The evidence is circumstantial but it is a possibility.https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022/05/25/mises-caucus-could-it-sway-libertarian-party-hard-right …
