"Back in 1974, the newly-formed Libertarian Party adopted what's now
called the Dallas Accord. The Dallas Accord was intended to make the
LP platform compatible with both minarchism and anarchism by keeping
the LP officially silent on whether or not governments should exist,
in the end; hence the platform focused mainly on what ought to be
repealed, and where it suggested any positive action by some level of
government, it qualified the plank with conditional phrases like Where
governments exist, ...." I think that it was foolish for anarchists to
sign on to the Dallas Accord. Partly because I'm a self-righteous
ultra and I dislike that kind of calculated compromise in the name of
political expediency. But also because of the very practical effect
that it has had in constricting the range of subjects that market
anarchists are willing to talk about or work on over the past three
decades." (01/25/08)
