tasmlab Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I noticed that Stef was posted on Lewrockwell.com recently: http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/07/stefan-molyneux/finally-the-truth-about-george-zimmerman-and-trayvon-martin/ I never heard the story of his banishment, but thought it must of been due to his criticism of Christianity or Ron Paul or the family or whatever Walter Block's beef is with him (despite them being world-view twins as they are both atheist an caps). You can see the eight year gap in years in his columnist page: http://www.lewrockwell.com/author/stefan-molyneux/ Although he is still not in the columnist listing. Anyone know the story? Is it gossipy or did Stef redeem his libertarian credentials or was it a mistake by a LRC intern?
Rob_Ilir Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 About W. Block, how can you be the head of the Jews for (minarchist) Ron Paul and still be called an atheist ancap? The exposure is well deserved in its own merit, and I hope there will be further expansion of fdr, otherwise history will frown upon those who did not give light to the very goal they were cherishing, namely truth reason and consistency.
tasmlab Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 In this video, Block describes himself as an atheist and an anaracho capitalist. I don't recommend watching the video, I just submit it to show that he at least calls himself both things. And perhaps it's some of his inconsistent actions that made Block embarrassed and angry at Stef for his Dr. Paul criticism.
PatrickC Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Anyone know the story? Is it gossipy or did Stef redeem his libertarian credentials or was it a mistake by a LRC intern? Well it's pure speculation of course. Perhaps Stefs articles weren't of interest to Rockwell and team, who knows, but I'm assuming it was primarily his views on RP, rather than religion. After all, Lew is supposedly a great friend and confidant of RP's. I might add that Stef's archive was never actually removed, it was just hidden, since I recall being able to use the URL (independently) to access 'The Gun in the Room' article, even in 2010.
