In a Student Town Hall on 9/25/09 sponsored by the Young Americans for
Liberty, Ron Paul stresses that in a libertarian society, socialists
would have the right to voluntarily live in their own socialist
societies. Of course, any individual who chooses to do so must also
have the right to opt OUT of living in a socialist society.

  • The point he made is exactly why states rights are so important. If we had more states rights, Californians or whoever could have a more socialist state with gun control, while people in Texas or New Hampshire could have a more free-market economy with very limited gun laws. This could create competition between states which would force them to adapt laws that work best.

  • I was there - Ron Paul gave an excellent speech. This was the first time I saw him up close - Great Job Ron Paul! Thanks for making the trip to Minnesota yesterday!

  • Socialists really should support Ron Paul.

  • @LibertarianUK except left anarchists. they are not fascists; they're libertarians AND socialists.

  • Competition drives us to ingenuity. Allowing the states to run themselves will increase competition and will have states that will appeal to some more than others eventually societies will settle down and thrive

  • @LibertarianUK Excellent comment, indeed the socialists of the British Labour Party are fascists. They've signed us up to the various treaties of the hopelessly corrupt and criminal led European Union project - that's another unecessary tier of government that the beleaguered UK taxpayer now has to pay for. Have the likes of Tony Blair, Gordan Brown and David Cameron ever had to do a proper day's work for a shit wage? Give them real socialism - give 'em 10 years hard labour in a Siberian gulag.

  • SO TRUE! most socialists are fascists, especially when it comes to taxes & their marxist shit education that creates illiteracy & poverty.

  • anarcho-syndicalism is a statist mistake

    but left anarchism is good

  • @NewVinland Correct, however one could argue from the environmental perspective, which is what some stateless socialists are doing.
