Gee, a libertarian site had a quiz to convince you that you're libertarian so you'll realize (totally on your own) that you should be supporting libertarians? 

Shocking.

More libertarian "the draft is slavery!" Hand wringing.

Want more than 2% of the population to care about you...how about a coherent position on defense and immigration and drop the issue last raised over 45 years ago.

Lots of open borders advocates in this thread.

I guess having Juan and Wang swarm into the country is a small price to pay to smoke a bowl for you patriots.

The Libertarian Party advocates for open borders.

A Libertarian is an Open Borders advocate.

The quiz even references it as touchstone issue, along with the draft.

Maybe a member of the Libertarian Party. But that's like saying every Republican wants to run everyone's sex life.

All yeses on that quiz but it's not really that easy. I agree with most libertarian principles but they're fucking nuts with defense and security issues. In addition to other things.

Also, people who have libertarian ideals are usually great... the party itself is screwy.

Another part of their platform is the elimination or extreme reduction of government freebies, thus reducing the appeal for gimmigrants, which would make an open border less of a big deal.

Pipe dream, I know, but that's the idea. I'm a "small L" libertarian, but not a member of the Liberatarian Party.

End government barriers to international free trade
Pretty much this...since you seem to be completely unaware of the LPs stance

A truly free market requires the free movement of people, not just products and ideas.
Unless you're going to tell me that the LP just supports the right of the Chinese to sell adulterated meat in the US.

I guess the idea is that many won't want to come in the first place if the Free Shit isn't flowing. Or more likely, they'll show up, the Democrats will tell them that the Republicans Libertarians are racist and they need to vote for a Democrat the get the Free Shit turned back on.

Bingo.

Libertarianism is a LOT like Communism, it looks and sounds great on Paper, but its a Utopian System, won't work, can't work.

The libertarian party is currently undergoing an invasion by the left who have christened themselves libertarian socialists.

What they really are, are just fucking socialists attempting to hijack the party. Sarwark and Vohl among them.

I follow the teachings of Hans Hermann Hoppe.

Libertarian here. Forcing people to be soldiers does not make good soldiers.
Even coke and heroin. What have our laws done to stop people from doing them? How much more of my tax money do you need to keep a failing at a war on drugs
You can't force people to make good decisions. You can only hold them accountable for their own actions and not bail them out when they make poor decisions. Taxation is theft.

I'm really not a fan of Nicolas Sarwark.  I don't know anything about the Vohl guy you mention. There has to be tolerance for communists and democrats in a Libertarian social order, otherwise it's not Libertarian. You don't have to listen to them or like them. I sure as hell don't. Fuck them to be perfectly clear. I don't need to silence them though simply because I believe they are wrong.

Arvin Vohl. He's a douche and running for the national seat. His claim to fame was abandoning veterans as instruments of the state despite the fact that a large majority of active and prior service vote libertarian.

The reasoning is simple. We can't have a libertarian social order if the communists run around doing gay communist shenanigans.

Democrats are communists lite. They won't kill you, but they'll sure as hell vote for people who will.

We can't have a libertarian social order because not enough people understand the actual implications of true freedom. It's scary and most people will actively fight against it because they've come to accept government in so many aspects of their lives. It has little to do with communists, the left, or the right. Those things exist because true freedom is scary and none of the three actually want it.

Which would make us no better than any of the three mentioned ideologies. Removal by force cannot be done without violating the NAP. You can really only smile and nod at them and know they are wrong. People will always choose sides. You will never have control over that. You can't stop them from calling themselves something that they are not. They can call themselves Libertarians all they want. It doesn't make it so.

I disagree. I fail to see how advocating and maintaining a system that will violate my natural rights is any different than an individual violating my rights.

In other words. Voting for someone to steal from me is the same thing as stealing from me yourself. Both are aggressive in nature.
