Actually, the great difference between Griff and Radar and myself is that I'm not a pacifist. They object to that. I ignore the objections.

I simply cannot be a pacifist; it's not a sustainable philosophy of life.

That Griff and Radar can't understand a libertarian who isn't a pacifist is not -- not directly anyway -- my problem. I don't think people who are that into freedom should be narrow-minded about it, for this seems to me exclusive of any possibility to be into freedom.

Griff, where the hell are you getting this "Trotskyite roots" idea?

Rkzen, when you understand that it's truer to libertarianism to promote, defend, and support the more libertarian society against the less libertarian, then I think you'll be a real libertarian. Otherwise, what you've got is passivism, to coin a term.
