Tucker seems to be completely ignorant of reality. <br />But if he thinks his approach will be more fruitful in bringing new libertarians into the fold (if the word 'libertarian' still means something by the time he is done), then we'll see.

Its important to identify the enemies of liberty to better defend ourselves. There are currently too many socio-paths in the world who are quite willing to sacrifice other humans for their own benefit for there to be individual liberty.
