It's An Interesting Time To Be a Libertarian

It’s an interesting time to be a libertarian because libertarianism is fast becoming the dominant political and social philosophy out there.
Libertarianism has triumphed because all of its competitors: Marxism, racism, socialism, mercantilism, Communism, fascism, militarism, nationalism, progressivism and many others have failed and failed miserably. These philosophies have produced nothing but war, violence, poverty, tyranny and misery. Indeed many of the world’s formerly socialist and Marxist political parties, the US Democrats, the British Labor Party and the Chinese Communist Party have adopted watered down libertarianism as their philosophy.
The problem is that the politicians are embracing a selective libertarianism they want economic liberty but not political liberty. The Chinese Communist Party is a perfect example of this it allows almost complete economic freedom but locks anybody who says a bad word about the party in the concentration camp. Closer to home our Democratic Party wants to expand sexual freedoms and freedom of speech but restrict the right to bear arms. The Republican Party wants to restrict some behaviors such as drug use but expand economic freedoms.
The biggest frustration for me is that most politicians seem to get libertarianism they know that expanding freedom works. Yet the same politicians are afraid of freedom and empowering the average person.
My guess is that the politicians don’t want people to realize that they can get along without politicians and government. The politicos most of whom are lazy and useless people don’t want to see their gravy train ended.
The great thing today is that most people realize government is the problem, they know that government is corrupt and ineffective. They know that politicians are incompetent crooks and fools or worse. They know that most political ideologies are fraudulent nonsense cooked up by politicians and intellectuals to fool us into giving up our freedoms.
Average people also know that freedom is good and they want more of it. So most people are libertarians even most true believers in other political philosophies.
Libertarianism is the only truly effective political and economic system because it works. Unlike our competitors, libertarians can point to lots of success stories for our ideas.
The greatest frustration of our times is that discredited political philosophies don’t die, they become zombies. Like the living dead, these animated corpses roam the countryside fouling the air with the stench of their rotting flesh. Just like movie zombies these creatures attack the living and try to eat their brains.
The only defense against these zombies is libertarianism the one political philosophy that actually works. The only political philosophy based upon rational thought and the only political philosophy supported by empirical evidence.
The times are interesting because we are witnessing the triumph of libertarianism. A long, slow and painful process but an inevitable one that will vastly improve all of our lives.
