Politics is violence. Politics, especially the politics of the US State, is evil.<br />There is no hope for Liberty using political means. There is no hope for Liberty using political (positive) law. Please name one positive law, (political) that had a net increase in individual liberty?<br />"Political power corrupts morals and judgement, because it is itself corrupt." (Richard Maybury at the Casey Research Summit)<br />I see a little of both sides, some seem to be more politically involved because of Dr. Paul, while others, are now more than ever completely against politics, which is the side I vocally advocate for.<br />Political power is evil.<br />Rather, if we really do seek change, I think the wisdom of Etienne De La Boetie and his call to remove consent is the most effective, and moral, cause of action, or inaction as it might be.Joshua Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314841330994831499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-40725082770654291852015-11-02T20:50:32.371-08:002015-11-02T20:50:32.371-08:00IMO the only point of politics is a platform to sp...IMO the only point of politics is a platform to spread the message. Using that as a metric Rand is a complete failure. He sounds a very uncertain trumpet, which leaves nobody sure why he's there or why they should follow him. Maybe he's a great guy who had a very bad idea.<br /><br />If you have a different reason for supporting politics and/or politicians, my assessment may be at odds with yours.VirtualAlaskanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669445908177529235noreply@blogger.com
