I think I have the answer to the question of why libertarianism never won in the US.
For the simple fact that human beings are too destructive to accept the responsibility that freedom brings. The United States was never the land of the free. Never. It is a tourist trap. A publicity stunt invented in an era where cheap labor was needed to build the country. The Statue of Liberty is like the I Need You of WW2. If the US does not embrace the ideas of Ron Paul, Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard, it will never be a free country. It will always be a prisoner of the presence of an inefficient state. I know I sound anti-American. But I’m not. On the contrary. I know what the problem is and I know what the solution is. submitted by /u/Advanced_Tea_6024 [link] [comments]
