Is it just a phase they go through—or is there something about libertarianism that attracts, well, uh, you know, racist kooks?

hadn't finished reading the piece...

The Ron Paul Revolution might not have amounted to much electorally, but it would be wrong to underestimate the impact he has had on libertarianism and the alt-right. “In a way, Ron Paul is the guy who lit the fuse,” Nick Gillespie says. “And he embodies some of those contradictions [between libertarianism and the alt-right].” Gillespie tells me that Richard Spencer came up to him at the Republican National Convention in 2016 and said that he was activated into politics because of Paul. Gillespie sees Paul’s legacy as very mixed, as someone who was “simultaneously… positing this very libertarian worldview, but then he’s also speaking to people’s fears and anxieties.” If one were looking for the missing link to explain this phenomenon, Ron Paul (and his paleolibertarian allies) would be a good place to start.

Eleanor Penny, who has written extensively on fascism and the far-right, told The Independent: . . . . [P]hysical resistance has time and again protected local populations from racist violence, and prevented a gathering caucus of fascists from making further inroads into mainstream politics."
The anti-fascist movement, which is in favour of popular grassroots opposition to fascism rather than reliance on the police or the state, is not a homogenous centralised organisation. It has a long and varied history which dates back to fighting Benito Mussolini’s Blackshirts in the 1920s and then Adolf Hitler’s Brownshirts in the taverns of Munich.
Yeah, fucking bang-up job they did keeping those Hitler and Mussolini guys from making further political inroads. Stopped 'em cold. Derp.

+1, that was a good one. (This TV show Stapleton is doing better be good, what with him missing weeks at a time.)

Damn, lost Chomsky.......... that takes some work for the Left.

Good Article Cali +1, I recommend it to others. Quotes I liked and what I take from them.....
"When confrontation shifts to the arena of violence, it's the toughest and most brutal who win – and we know who that is.
~ Noam Chomsky
You stupid lefties better not wake up the silent majority, because when they get pissed you are going to get thumped and lose
"Chomsky treats the battle against fascism as a battle for moral purity than can be won when the left remain respectful, polite, and deferent.................
fascists have no interest in winning that battle. They don't care about respecting free speech or the right to a fair trial; they've openly declared their murderous intent towards people of colour (and other undesirables) and they'll pursue that goal by any means necessary. In this context, physical resistance is a duty, an act of self-defence, not an unsightly outpost of leftist moral decline."
~ Eleanor Penny
Noam is weak, we are going to kill people we identify as Fascists, it's the only solution.
