I actually can remember the time when Libertarianism was a bunch of homeschooling hippies living communally. Planting organic heirloom tomatoes, smoking pot, and unschooling their kids. And then some social conservatives decided to do something similar, but less chill and with Bible Study. And we called that "Paleo-Libertarianism", and I told everyone I was a Libertarian and we all were happily voting for Ron Paul for Pres, and protesting the bank bailouts, and Marching for Life, and stacking silver coins and canned pickles, figuring out how to culture sourdough, and teaching our children Latin and Plato.

And then the Big Money moved in and turned it all into a political lobby for the Super Rich, and I checked out.

We were the people who made economics work sustainably by loving other people more than money. But that was always a small club and the Super Rich were never in it.

I remember.
