I was a libertarian by choice once. Began in my edgy teenage years. I have now long abandoned libertarianism/ancapism in favor of traditionalism/fascism.

And I wanna tell you why, because I loved beeing a libertarian, it is fun and feels good but I had to evolve.

I realized that a libertarian society can only be established in a homogenous society. A society were everyone has the same personal agenda: Liberty . But this homogenous society can never exist in a pluralist, democratic, mutli-racial and liberal system of thought/politics as it would break away immediately because of the inner tension..

That's why the monarchies old old failed to withstand Bolshevism and that's why libertarian "states" would not withstand them either: they are much too laisez-fairez to build a completely resistant block against Bolshevism. Having a strong state with a strong army or an armed populace is not enough to withstand the red storm, you need a ready and rallied and educated people to withstand the enemy within.

>pluralist, democratic, mutli-racial

You don't need any of those things to have a libertarian government.

>durr muh stability

Every fascist country either collapses because of retarded wars of aggression or when the leader dies. Every single one. Fascism is incredibly unstable. The USA was created 250 years ago, the only serious attempt at libertarian government, and it's still to this day the freest country in the world. You'd be lucky to have your fascist hellhole live for 30 years. Monarchies were not stable either, there were constant pretender revolts and murders, peasant tax revolts, and religious revolts but an amerilard like you have never actually read European history.

Congratulations for buying into stormfront propaganda.

You've got it backwards. Any libertarian society will very quickly turn into a homogenous one, even if it starts out as "diverse," thanks to natural incentived and the power of eviction. Multiculturalism and degeneracy can only sustain themselves with government subsidy; good ideas don't need to be forced on people if they truly are good ideas.

>a pluralist, democratic, mutli-racial and liberal system of thought/politics

None of those things, least of all democracy, are libertarian in the slightest.

>That's why the monarchies old old failed to withstand Bolshevism and that's why libertarian "states" would not withstand them either: they are much too laisez-fairez to build a completely resistant block against Bolshevism.

Nigger what? Laissez-faire spurred on commie takeover? Hardly, it was these monarchies becoming less monarchial (which is the most libertarian form of government btw, just ask Hoppe) age more democratic that opened them up to commie influence. Bolsheviks gain power by subverting government agencies to grant them finance and power, and ancap has no agencies to subvert so there's no way for them to gain influence. This is on the same level as "You need to let Tyriquoa give you a prostate exam before going onto a plane because oy vey muh ISIS."

>I was a libertarian by choice once. Began in my edgy teenage years. I have now long abandoned libertarianism/ancapism in favor of traditionalism/fascism.

The more often I hear this the less believable it sounds to me, honestly. Every "lolbert turned fash" I've cared to meet hasn't managed to to make an intellectual case against libertarianism, certainly not one based on first principles. I think what really happens is people see the NEETSocs LARPing about how "pure" and "woke" they are, and insulting anyone that doesn't hold their views for not being edgy enough, and people feel pressured to agree with the loudest group in the room.

Why do fascists/natsocs/etc always try to woo libertarians with their conversion stories? Nothing within the third position is at all compatible with freedom. Saying we need

>A society were everyone has the same personal agenda: Liberty

doesn't seem like a good reason to abandon freedom altogether in favor of statist ethnosocialism. That would be equivalent to eating your floorboards to get rid of your termite problem.

>you need a ready and rallied and educated people to withstand the enemy within

Not really sure how spreading fashy ideas will get this done, much less in the pursuit of freedom. If you want people properly educated to take on those who threaten freedom, consider this:

>. . . [W]hatever may be the desires of most men, it is most certainly against the interests of the powerful that the truth should be known about political behavior. If the political truths stated or approximated by Machiavelli were widely known by men, the success of tyranny and all the other forms of oppressive political rule would become much less likely. A deeper freedom would be possible in society than Machiavelli himself believed attainable. If men generally understood as much of the mechanism of rule and privilege as Machiavelli understood, they would no longer be deceived into accepting that rule and privilege, and they would know what steps to overcome them.

>James Burnham

>The Machiavellians, pp. 77

Reading ideologues (yes, even our own Rothbard, Mises, etc.) is political wankery. If one wants to bring about freedom—which you clearly do not—, then the most essential step is to spread the science created by Machiavelli, Tocqueville, Mosca, Pareto, etc., not the romanticist lies of Evola, Feder, Mosley, etc.

Thought I do agree on the importance of traditionalism, or at least understanding it.

>. . . [I]t may be seen from historical experience that the integrity of the political formula is essential for the survival of a given social structure. Changes in the formula, if they are not to destroy the society, must be gradual, not abrupt. The formula is indispensable for holding the social structure together. A widespread skepticism about the formula will in time corrode and disintegrate the social order. It is perhaps for this reason, half-consciously understood, that all strong and long-lived societies have cherished their "traditions," even when, as is usually the case, these traditions have little relation to fact, and even after they can hardly believed literally by educated men. Rome, Japan, Venice, all such long-enduring states, have been very slow to change the old formulas, the time-honored ways and stories and rituals; and they have been harsh against rationalists who debunk them. This, after all, was the crime for which Athens put Socrates to death. From the point of view of survival, she was probably right in doing so.

Because the alt-right and its rise in popularity is heavily associated with imageboards and their culture of irreverence, there's a certain incentive in the movement to signal how non-conformist and contrarian you are to your fellow edgelords. As a result, they all like to poke fun at libertarians because, even if it's not really true, libertarians have a reputation for being "live and let live" types, and that's not nearly edgy enough so it gets shunned. That's the main reason they flock to NatSoc despite saying how much they hate socialism, because it's the most reviled ideology in the mind of John Q. Normie. It's also why so many of them become pagans, because saying "le dead kike on a stick" is nice and edgy, and that gets you street cred with anons.

If you actually think this is what libertarianism I'm not sure you can say you ever were one. Libertarianism isn't a selfish, atomistic worldview, it's actually pretty friendly to traditionalism and family values. I'll reiterate what others have said and recommend you give Hans Hoppe a read, he shows that not only is libertarianism traditionalist, it's also the only system that allows traditionalism to be sustainable and not die off in a few generations.

>but guys, it's impossible to have a racially homogeneous society that values liberty unless we get rid of all the liberty parts!

Get fucked, just because you were too stupid to figure it out doesn't mean it's impossible. Having a political philosophy that lands you as 'libertarian-right' doesn't mean you have to be in line with the milquetoast dudeweedlmao official parties.

You do this shit a lot of demagogic fascists do, speak in nebulous terms that appeal to emotion and make absolutely no fucking sense when critically dissected. "They are much too laisez-fairez to build a completely resistant block against Bolshevism" doesn't actually mean anything, unless you're actually trying to suggest that government control of the economy somehow isn't fucking Marxism compared to free market principles.

"Having a strong state with a strong army or an armed populace is not enough to withstand the red storm, you need a ready and rallied and educated people to withstand the enemy within" doesn't mean anything either. If you want to convince people of your side, try an actual fucking argument. You can tell when someone's not making an argument when there's no direct obvious way to translate their statement into policy. What does "ready and rallied" mean? Why is it necessary? Moreover, what process would we undergo to make sure our people are "ready and rallied"? Why does this process necessitate fascism?

I can tell stories of how fascism has failed, of how every time the government oversteps it's very carefully laid boundaries in destroys, ruins, and corrupts everything it touches. You can tell stories about how you used to be a libertarian and decided not to be for incredibly vague, nebulous, emotion-based non-reasons.

While I agree that fascism is far more unstable than op seems to think, the U.S was not the first serious attempt at a libertarian government and its position as the freest today is debatable to say the least.

A conversion story works off sympathies that exist in the speaker, but not the listener. It is the most ineffective tool you could use.

Consider a born-again-christian courting an atheist: the former sings the praises of blind faith things he's never seen, while the latter has already relieved himself of such delusions. Likewise, the fascist lauds pride in his people and worship of the state, whilst the libertarian can't help but see the stupidity of the masses and the treachery of their leaders.

The only reason why you or anyone else has these gay, retarded, illogical stories is because you fail continuously to even understand the ideologies you use as your identity. You can be libertarian and refuse foreigners, criminals and undesirables entry into your country, state, province, city, neighborhood or whatever word you like for land. You can be an an-cap and refuse foreigners and criminals entry into your property, you can co-operate with other likeminded people to keep them out of your society.

To put it another way: There is absolutely nothing unique that authoritarian ideologies have to offer a man who simply wants a place in which he can live and raise his white children with no fear of niggers or jews using their dark sorceries to destroy him and his. However, authoritarian ideologies do offer the enslavement of said white people to someone else and they also promise a framework in which that slavery is acceptable, accepted and even applauded as good and noble. It doesn't matter if the King is white if he steals from you, extorts you, threatens you, jails you, murders you or anything else. What matters is that "future for white children". Furthermore I don't reckon people really care if their dictator calls himself a socialist or not when he's starving them to death. So, in a short insult, you're a gay retard.

Oh no, the ex-libertarians strike again!

>I was a libertarian by choice once. Began in my edgy teenage years.

Every fascist was a libertarian "once". Every single one. However, almost none of them have even intermediate-level knowledge of libertarianism. Face it, you guys were impressed by Ron Paul and then abandoned the idea (which HE championed for fifty years!) as soon as he left politics. Then GamerGate and Trump happened and you gladly went over to the rising alt-right and then eventually to the more sophisticated right-wing (or pseudo right-wing) movements. I've seen that happen time and time again, and it was always caused by the same two or three epiphanies, over and over, by people who couldn't be more enslaved by the Zeitgeist.

>I have now long abandoned libertarianism/ancapism in favor of traditionalism/fascism.

How about, instead of moving from one echo chamber to the next, you actually do your thing and come up with your ideas? I am not telling you to be a Rothbardian purist, but, like, do some original thinking, you fool. A synthesis of right-wing and libertarian ideas can definitely be pulled off.

>>91841

>Every fascist country either collapses because of retarded wars of aggression or when the leader dies. Every single one. Fascism is incredibly unstable.

This, pretty much. Hitler was in power for twelve years. Mussolini failed after a bit more than twenty. Franco, Salazar and Pinochet were more successful, but they were hardly (if at all) fascist. The fascist track record, then, is abysmal.

>Monarchies were not stable either, there were constant pretender revolts and murders, peasant tax revolts, and religious revolts but an amerilard like you have never actually read European history.

All in all, still more stable, as a revolt did not entail throwing the entire system out and massacring half your population. That's for a variety of reasons, but the biggest is probably that the monarchies weren't total states. When the state is the king, then all you have to do to substitute the state for another is to supplant the king. When "we" are the state, well, that becomes a lot harder and requires a lot more violence.

>Nigger what? Laissez-faire spurred on commie takeover? Hardly, it was these monarchies becoming less monarchial (which is the most libertarian form of government btw, just ask Hoppe) age more democratic that opened them up to commie influence.

Aso this. Centralization actually made the monarchies less monarchical, as it spurred the development of a strong bureaucracy and a more anonymous, less personal state. Back when the king ruled through his lords, under feudalism, democracy could not have been pulled off, as there was no single sovereign to supplant with "the people", but many sovereigns who were all legitimate rulers in their own right. Bertrand de Jouvenel talked about this in Sovereignty.

If your question is about libertarian society then it's that there are no "levels of power" per se, so if you try to fuck with people you get outcompeted, ignored or phased out either way so you've got to try to change the rules and become a state, i.e. gain monopoly on power, likely through violent means.

>Homophobe

Regardless of what angle you attack the oligarchy from, they got there where they are reason, and it's often for the very reason you despise them. Wailing about how the rulers are degenerates/bigots/etc. and pining for a new set of rulers who are more patriotic/tolerant/etc. is an expression of wishful thinking and a foolhardy rejection of the laws of politics.

So then.

>How does libertarianism work insofar as eliminating the cancer after it has already metastasized throughout the levers of power?

There is only one way to eliminate rulers you don't like, and that's violent revolution. How well does that work? I refer you to:

>Cuba

>China

>Turkey

>Iran

So how does one thwart the Hydra, if smiting its head spawns another two? Pit the heads against each other. Let the parties fracture and duke it out, so that they either restrain themselves or else be restrained by their enemies. They will learn that, until their faction becomes a supermajority (i.e. never), rule of law is preferable to rule by discretion.

>the only serious attempt at libertarian government

The one that started a war to evade taxes, and after said war the very first thing it did was introducing a whisky tax then use army against its citizens in the Whisky Rebellion? The very first thing ever, not even the failed 1812 land grab.

The US was a weak state with its people able to constantly move ever West to evade the feds, that's why it was kinda OKish at start. Not by its design, but by its weakness. The Civil War aka Conquering the South made the US basically the same empire it supposedly fought to leave. So, something akin to libertarianism lasted from 1783 to 1861, about 78 years. The frontier closed and the enlarger and emboldened state went on to conquer and plunder on other continents.

It's like saying the ultra-rightist absolutist till 1905 Russian Empire was a libertarian government, because the tsars had dire troubles enforcing their will on 10% of world populations stretched over 2 and a half continental US territories with chronically understaffed and corrupt govt machine.

The state wasn't libertarian, it's a contradiction in terms. The state was weak. The commies saw to themselves getting stronger than the tsars, the US Feds see to the same now. Just without artificial famines and state enforced slavery for now.

Compared to many other places, it really was. For 18 of the 25 years preceding WWI, Tsarist Russia was the fastest growing economy in the world. If it were around today it would score in the top 20 of the economic freedom index. By 1913 it had overtaken France as the fourth largest industrial power. Absolutist monarchies are generally the least bad alternative for those who appreciate a small, non interventionist government.

The war of 1812 happened because the British were boarding American ships and kidnapping American sailors.


 No.94617

>>94588

Boarding was done at British ports and they seized runaways from the navy.


 No.94623

>>94617

They grabbed a bunch of people on what were at best shaky justifications.


 No.94624

>>94617

The US seceded from Britain, every soldier of the US navy could have been argued to be a "runaway" from the Bong navy.
