Is there a theoretical world in which libertarianism /= white supremacy but the practical, real-world effect of libertarian policies over the last 40 yrs has been to extend white supremacy, given that different groups did not start out w/ equivalent resources & capital in the US
I don’t ascribe to Marshall’s approach of disengaging with certain branches of discourse. That said, I have definitely found it difficult in the past to have conversations with libertarian friends about racial inequity in America. Do you find it easy? If so, why?

I wouldn't say I find it easy, just as I do not find the conversation I am currently having with leftist friends about e.g. the fact that people in the global south are even more oppressed than many minorities in the US are easy.

But that doesn't mean I think it is not worth a) trying to have those conversations and b) enlisting them as allies and collaborators on areas of agreement.
