When did the philosophical view that democracy is bad become popular amongst libertarians?
Long Time Libertarian [2007]
As of the past year I have heard from libertarians that democracy sucks. No one who says that provides a more reasonable option: a republic, anarchy, or something else. Libertarians who say this kind of rhetoric say phrases that I have heard from the radical left and right.
I’m a little perplexed as we continue to win elections in a democratic system. Who in our larger circles proposed the end of democracy? Never heard that from Ron Paul or a retired Barry Goldwater.
