@nytn I called myself a libertarian in late 70s, 80s, having found the "Aloha Caucus" in Iowa. The sex and drugs wing of the party, one said.
I said for years that I went right, around to the back.
You ever hear "a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged"?
By the end of the 90's I was feeling mugged by the economy, and felt I was coming "around the back" of ideologies, and out to the left.
Jim Hightower's Rabble Rouser event in KCMO, 2017, convinced me that Libertarianism is a facade for robber barons: surprise, another con.
From feeling libertarian practices could lead to that rising tide that lifts all boats, I became squeamish because leaving investors to their own devices does not lead to successful individuals setting great examples for everyone, but to dire and urgent need for environmental protection regulation!
The Green Party alienated me by making anti - capitalism a plank in their platform, but by now I do feel utilities and hospitals should be cooperatively owned, and that subsidized education would produce better taxpayers and customers!
