I’ve been a Libertarian since 1996, after reading Friedrich Nietzsche, David Hume, Friedrich Hayek, Ayn Rand, Adam Smith, Aristotle, and Francis Bacon. These men and women changed the way I viewed the world, which was primarily Marxist as a teenager. 18 years later I find being a “libertarian” somewhat difficult, because my principles did not […]
