Survey on philosophical positions in the libertarian movement

As the ONLY Libertarian who has ever exceeded ALL others winning Libertarian Democrat & Republican Votes — unlike others on this thread — articulating the only Principled Libertarian ProChoice&ProLife OPTION, a potential #WinWinWin for babe, Mom-in-Crisis, potential Loving Parents/Family I despise surveys & contrived referendums that only perpetuate nonsense polarizing options that empower govts & neglect both common sense & history.

Even keeping abortion on the table, #ADOPTION is the most popular choice among Women&Girls in pregnancy crises ( often left holding the bag by the deadbeat abortive sperm donor ) because it potentially ENRICHES Women&Girls with US$40,000 to US$100,000+ ( often with free room & board from the Adoptive Parents who want to ensure a Safe & Healthy & Low Stress pregnancy/birth ) — instead of empowering & enriching govts & their #IndustrialPrisonComplex or #MedicalMurderComplex cronies which has been the status quo since RvW was handed via memo to #TheTemps by their corporatist marionettists.

Marty,

Adoption, especially if there is compensation for mothers undergoing pregnancies that are to them unwanted, is indeed a solution that many people in both abortion camps should be able to get behind.

I don’t really understand your objection to surveys. Your post included a graphic stating that the U.S. medical system kills 225,000 people a year. But you likely wouldn’t have this data to share if someone (probably multiple someones) had not at some point collected and compiled the information by surveying deaths at different institutions.

How does asking people where they stand on controversial issues “perpetuate nonsense polarizing options”? You ask Libertarian figures where they stand on the nudity issue. Are you suggesting that you should stop doing that?

Finally, I don’t think it’s true that you received more votes in your race than has any other Libertarian running for office. Not that it really matters. But to the extent it does matter, and to the extent you did well as a candidate, surely it matters as a basis for drawing lessons from your campaign for DC mayor, not just as something to brag about. I don’t recall you talking in detail about your run. What did you do? How many doors did you knock on? How much money did you spend? What issues did you run on? How many volunteers were involved? To what do you attribute your showing? For the information of the votes you got to be really useful, we need more information than just some variation on, “I was great, and (by implication) all the other Libertarians sucked”.

Love & Liberty,

Robert…from the sound of your post, I was Libertarian since before you were born. You know nothing about me or my position on Pro-Life or Libertarian issues. Maybe that might change if we have a drink together.

It will probably take more than that to deal with what appears to be your extreme native arrogance…specially in a friendly forum as this. But we can try.

Robert,

Let’s try to avoid personal attacks please, and keep discussion here civil. Mike Denny is a longtime activist and committed to the freedom cause, and I’ve never known him to promote coercive laws. We may not all see eye-to-eye on everything, but a little goodwill and respect goes a long way toward minimizing counter-productive infighting.

Look upon me, St. Mike, I don’t have a right to life.

I have a right to be free from aggression and fraud. That covers all the living to which I’m entitled.

Sorry, but I’m pretty sure that you are lying whey you boast about seeing all human life as sacred. We look at the policies you would be supporting if you really believed that. You would not only promote every coercive law to maximize the quantity of human lives, but you would also voluntarily give away all your own wealth to that end.

No Mike, I think you are a fake. You are fine with all kinds of killing and death. You just sought out the expedient exception.

Here is the basic morality of the abortion issue: being conceived and carried are gifts to which you are not entitled. If you die from being deprived of them, it is sad, but it is not murder.

They are gifts, and there is absolutely nothing generous about you forcing someone else to give those gifts. It only makes you a thief.

I would be happy enough with you if you would strip away the sophistry and be honest about your position. Tell the truth, St. Mike.

The truth is that you seek to coerce women to carry pregnancies to term. That’s your position. Say it.

Human life is especially sacred. It is a gift from God we should respect and be grateful from the moment of conception until natural death. To see it in any other way is to treat the sacred as profane. And that is a shame for those who miss the incredible wonder and joy in the miracle of human life.

P.S. – I do think the history of eugenics that Mike raises is good to know about – one of a number of dark sides to the historical progressive movement that shares a commonality with the ideology of modern progressives in terms of its willingness to override individual freedom and choice in the name of the “common good”.

Thank you. Have a great day!

2018 DC Libertarian Party Candidate for District of Columbia Mayor

I don’t know who originated the survey or chart I posted, Marty. As I believe I noted, I just came across it on Twitter. It seems honest and useful to me because I myself have noticed intellectual differences of opinion among self-identified libertarians on most, maybe all, of the issues for which it lists sliders. But my guess is that adoption is not listed because it is not known as an area of intellectual disagreement among libertarians. I don’t know of any who are against adoption, do you? I don’t think simply noting differences of opinion and asking where people stand, especially in a format that allows people to choose a middle or neutral position, is inherently polarizing. While the original title did seem likely to me to contribute to exacerbating polarization, that is why I changed it.

Regarding the medical industry, my view of it may not be quite as cynical as yours – calling them “little more than drug pushers & butchers in fancier white coats” sets a pretty high bar! – but I think it’s safe to say I’m less trusting of the medical establishment than most people. I am not a big believer in credentials, and certainly don’t think anyone is automatically wise, honest, or knowledgeable about any particular health care specifics just because they wear a white coat or have an “MD” after their name. The health care industry in this country is badly screwed up in many ways, no question.

I really like this idea. It covers a lot of the important issues.

However, I think it misses a few of the biggest issues that drive the
current conflict. For example, some people like libertarianism because
they think it will lead to a society that is more tolerant of
controversial speech and alternative lifestyles, while others like
libertarianism because they think it will be more effective at
eradicating nontraditional speech and lifestyles.

I like the simplicity of the icons, but they don’t capture the nuances
that are central to some of the issues (like abortion).

I’m happy to see people using the infighting to further our
understanding of libertarian theory and application!

Life & Liberty,
Jeff
