Glenn Greenwald’s Mitt Romney Surrogacy

[joshcryer]

85. Greenwald is a Libertarian from what I can tell.

He has no interest or concern for social economic policies (which is why the critique in the OP is so dead on). He's silent on those issues because they go against the Libertarian "Non-Aggression Principle." Of course, the Libertarian "Non-Aggression Principle" is Orwellian double speak because while Greenwald chastises the President's drone wars (which the President said he would do if elected), Greenwald at the same time believes Ron Paul's pro-banana republic, pro-death squad views desperately need to be heard.

Let me make this very clear. Libertarians think that social policies, pro-union policies, pro-labor, pro-women's rights, pro-affirmative action, all of those are "aggressive" to Libertarians, and therefore their "Non-Aggression Principle" is a fucking goddamn lie. They think it's actually OK to discriminate based on gender, race, or whatever, because the almighty contract is king. Meanwhile they think that unions and labor shouldn't be allowed to form if an owner deems them unsuitable for their business (which all owners would, btw). They are the truest form of vile that exists on the planet, fascists in disguise.
