One of the best in a long time!

I didn't miss your point. Wouldn't you agree that you can only create it where there is already a lot of liberty? That is why he went to America first, is it not? Are the first american pioneers just escapists? Are north korean refugees just escapists? Are zionists just escapists?

There was no liberty in the new world in the 18th century? I think your math is wrong. And why are you americans so obsessed with america? Is it because you don't study other countries? America is awesome, I agree, but there are many other places that outdo them in certain areas, particularly in freedom. Either way, no. The first thing I would try to do is establish my utopia. Because so far anarchism and libertarianism are both only theories, and rigorous experiments have not been conducted yet. In order to convince the world that my theory works, I would have to bring hard proof. This attitude is what the russians must be commended for: They coducted the largest experiment to test their theory of communism, and since the results did not match the hypothesis, they moved on. Liberty lovers should do the same.

1. Well, so far communism has a longer track record than libertarianism or anarchism. So if we deem communism an unsustainable system, what of libertarianism? Not being a dick, just an observation that so far the teenager anti-fascits anarchists have accomplished more than the AnCaps. I am genuinely interested in AnCap theory, and my many posts on it prove it, but I still only see talk and no action. Ok, I guess you don't have to move to Liechtenstein, though I think there would be plenty of room for all the dedicated libertarians. History has it that a powerful ideology bent on spreading, needs a seat of power, an HQ if you will. The Catholics have the Vatican, the Muslims have Mecca. So far, libertarians are so divided even amongst themselves that they have no chance of spreading into other territories. I can tell you right now that libertarianism has at least 5000 years before it can set foot in China, and that is a fifth of your target audience right there. And then good luck winning over Africa. 2. What are you talking about? Every democracy has a bill of rights. They copied it from you guys (more like you forced them to). And I wasn't talking about the freedom within the US. I was referring to all the stuff the US has done outside of its borders. There are something like 2 success stories, and 200 blunders in your quest of exporting freedom. Americans call terrorists "freedom fighters", so I assume by "freedom activists", you mean saboteurs. Regarding immigration, just do us all a favour and vote Trump in 2020. I honestly don't care what he does in America, but illegal immigration to Europe has been rapidly declining since his election, and he is openly supporting the V4, so I'm content.

Practically speaking I think libertarianism requires a centralized authority and ideological framework from which all it's proclaimed adherents adhere to. We don't have that. Well, I don't even know if I'd call myself a libertarian because of how heavily bastardized it is. A monarchist, sure. A free marketer, definitely. A liberal? Depending on the definition. Classical Liberal=Yes. Modern pseudo-liberal=HELL NO. As someone with my beliefs, I fully intend to organize and write about them and eventually come up with an ideological book of sorts from which "Walheimism" (or whatever I call it) can find its concrete foundation and perhaps some people of actual importance will take it seriously enough to implement it. I'm far from doing what the ultra-pragmatic Temujin nor the ultra-idealistic Jesus of Nazareth are capable of. However I don't want to die without leaving an intellectual handprint on the world, and if history has proven anything just about anyone with a pen and lots of paper can create an ideology to last for all time. Because libertarianism/AnCap has no central authority, even among branches (except here on FDR), I have to personalize and individuate what I "think" a true libertarian ought to do versus what they're doing. Stefanism's goal is AnCap via peaceful parenting and sound mating selection. Not difficult, but very slow. However I do believe that, like Christianity, what started as some bearded guy's ideas with a couple dozen strangers could result in a new world order and religion. And what made the Christ so successful in it's imprint on the world, is in part its focus on children and child education. Peaceful parenting + good mating selection is very educational to their children on what to look for, who to marry, and how to raise their own children. However Stefanism lacks anything to do outside of this, and that may be fine because fundamentally the individual without the grace of the collective is ultimately powerless. However still, it is up to the individual to win over the mob and therefore become powerful. I think in American politics, simply voting Republican (of the Trump variety) and calling out the establishment whenever they back-peddle or waver is pretty much the best most people can and will do. And that MAY be enough. Show the Leader our support and the Leader gains proportionally more power. Currently DJT is the Leader. Therefore if we want anything remotely rightist, we must back DJT and only criticize him when he is doing something harmful towards creating a suitable environment for peace, order, and prosperity. I think trying to found a country in the Gobi is an ultimately suicidal plan since once it becomes anything worth a something, either the Chinese government or a neighboring one will seize it and overthrow it (and I doubt there are enough red-blooded AnCaps willing and able to fight millions upon millions of sophisticated, well armed, and ruthless Chinese). Likewise hiding out in a neutral country greatly weakens the effectiveness of an ideologically-based voting base. However it DOES provide safe haven to practice Stefanism and perhaps in the long run convert the neutral country and possibly even make the neutral country a contender for regional supremacy and perhaps over time become the next America, Germany, Russia, France, (insert historically big and important country here), etc.
