I have to admit, as libertarian ideas aren't much of a thing here, I really had a distorted view of libertarian politics. (I think this happens to a lot of people with democratic socialism)
I have a lot more respect for it now, It's just still not my game.
Better than what's going on in the states now.
I really don't like Ron's stance on abortion, seems kinda backwards from his other views.
You really can't derive prescriptions from peoples views like that, Ron Paul might not believe in abortion but it is more of a personal belief he practices, that doesn't extend as an
ought .
That is the main difference with libertarian ideology, they don't practice anything except reductions and negations, no real plans for implementation even if they had power.
It is pure apriori theory and rationalizations based on untestable/untested assumption, often using a baseless morality seemingly from a children's book, normally from some malformed economic claim.
