Marshall is equating libertarianism with white supremacy. I think this is roughly equivalent to equating socialism with Stalinism, conservatism with Nazism or Islam with terrorism. This attitude of some of the left is unbelievably destructive and dangerous. https://twitter.com/Econ_Marshall/status/1079490048968527873 …

I did not attribute it primarily to that, though if you held me to a wall I would give libertarian openness to trade with China some causal role. But my main point is that getting into the business of historical associations as a basis for judging good faith is fraught.

I am just saying that if we get into the business of refusing to associate or collaborate with those who have affinities for doctrines which have during certain historical periods been used in problematic ways, we will find ourselves isolated even from ourselves.
