Hitler seems pretty pro-German to me.StilesBC wrote: The problem with that logic is it can be extended to anyone. In Hitler's mind, he was acting in Germany's interest. So was Stalin, etc.
Sure there are. But libertarians who call for a minarchist republic have some sort of confused idea IMO. Rejecting the idea of human beings being their own rulers seems like a rather "un-libertarian" view of the state of things (not that I'm denying moderates the status of libertarian). Why would liberty be an ideal when it leads to incessant conflict? I can only conclude that these so-called moderates see an antipode between liberty and order.I disagree. There are plenty of people who believe in "limited" government. I suppose you could argue that those people are simply confused and that their views contradict one another. But, "you are either a fascist/communist or an anarcho-capitalist/anarcho-communist," oversimplifies matters I think. I agree with the assessment in this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 6933078950
Which is fine of course, but I do sense a sort of contradiction in the line of thinking.
