The political spectrum is not like the autistic spectrum, we are not all on it. As an Austro-Libertarian (or Anarcho-Capitalist), it is apparent that we are stood apart from the tumultuous scales, eyes ticking and tocking about like a tennis audience. The scales represent little more than aggression; the red vs blue is merely the equilibrium reached between those interest groups able to wield money and influence. Naturally, there are some Libertarians who think we need to jump on one side of the scales or other, hoping this might throw off a few poor, lost souls. I cannot judge them (where their intentions are pure) but I prefer to shout for attention from the sidelines - 'Those with ears to hear...'
So, what exactly do I have to shout about? Certainly, the Left and the Right each have some good values to fight about; yet, the Left is philosophically unsound at its foundation and the Right, methodologically. Will either side give, even a little? Not to each other, if human history has anything to say, but perhaps some might listen to reason.
