Over in John Quiggins land of Social Democrats, resident commenter Ikonoclast takes a jab at Liberal Democracy.
Ikonoclast:-
To simultaneously support democratic government and minimalist government is a patent nonsense. I can only assume therefore that anyone espousing such a position either does not truly support democratic government or is blind to the inherent contradiction of their position.
In response I offer the following:-
The Australian Libertarian Society (ALS) doesn’t have a way for people to officially “join”, so besides the ALS board (Terje, Sukrit, Jon Hoyle & myself) there is no real indicator of how many people are a part of the ALS family. Until now.
The ALS supports free-markets, individual liberty and decreasing the size of government. We want to foster discussion within the libertarian world, and also between libertarian and others to explain the libertarian approach. We use a broad definition of libertarian, including anarchists, minarchists, objectivists, utilitarian libertarians, moderate libertarians, classical liberals and anybody who generally believes that people should control more of their own lives.
If you agree, then please use this opportunity to show your support. I’ve created a support page, which is linked at the top of the website and also on the side column. Show your support by leaving your name, and I’ll regularly update the list.
