Zera I'm seeking to avoid what's currently happening in New Hampshire, where the Hoppeans/white nationalists aka Mises Caucus have co-opted much of the libertarian movement. MC leaders mouth support for liberty, but whenever there's a conflict between authoritarian laws to assuage their fear of immigrants/Jews/blacks and pro-liberty principles, the MC almost always favor authoritarian measures. The @LPNH Twitter feed (currently controlled by the Mises Caucus) regularly expresses support for: * zoning laws (the single biggest cause of high housing costs in New Hampshire) * thought police empowered to forcibly deport / shoot "socialists" ( and a very broad definition of "socialist" that includes so-called "gay race communist" Chase Oliver ) * roaming Judge Dredd-style cops empowered to summarily execute addicts / homeless people in public parks * assassination of politicians of competing ideologies * immigration suppression laws / "paper's please" police state * "physical removal" of the Jews * keeping black people out of the state (black people make up ~2% of New Hampshire's population) * Trump (a sociopath who supports many authoritarian policies) instead of the Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver. Most of the posts violate the ethical/economic principles libertarians nominally support: * property rights * freedom of trade * freedom of association * presumption of innocence * methodological individualism * habeus corpus (right to speedy, fair trial) * equality before the law (no special privileges based on race, sex, religion, etc) Such rhetoric also needlessly antagonizes the NH non-libertarians who pro-liberty folks need to win over in order to implement our political agenda. It also attracts unfriendly, stupid, violent, anti-Semitic, white nationalists to the state. I want to attract friendly, smart, peaceful, psychologically healthy, tolerant, principled people around me.
