Source: The Price of Liberty
by Nathan Barton
“To quote libertarianism.org on ‘What is a libertarian?’ ‘Libertarians believe that in politics, liberty is the most important value. Almost everyone wants freedom for themselves, but a libertarian also seeks to protect and expand the freedom of others.’ In other words (religious terms), libertarians want to be missionaries, evangelists. We want to share what we know with others who will work together with us to establish and maintain liberty and justice for all. But let us state a sympathetic critique of ‘Libertarian missionary’ endeavors. As we imply in the opening paragraph, like the Christian missionary efforts they appear to imitate and even use as a model, they have their limits. And their foibles. Perhaps they are even ineffective in using limited resources.” (05/17/25)
