RE: Libertarianism Might Be Irrelevant

in #politics7 years ago

Kokesh's post was specifically about science. (I really hope he is reading this reply)

The reason I brought up Classical Liberalism on this thread is because real science is part of the Classical Liberal Tradition. This is both easy to prove and is still widely known in the scientific community.

Science and technology do not make Libertarianism irrelevant. If people discussed classical liberalism; they would discover that technological developments have made the issue of liberty even more critical today than before.

Unfortunately, Libertarianism and Conservatism have adopted forms of modern logic which are counter to science. If the Libertarian Party rediscovered classical liberalism, the party would not only make itself relevant to today's technological culture, we might get to the place where Libertarian candidates start winning races.

The definition that I use for classical liberalism is actually a nice starting place for a discussion of logic. This definition can lead directly into the development of science.
