I get the sense that these self-styled "bleeding heart libertarians" can just drop the "libertarian" piece and it'd be a bit more honest. these are not libertarian arguments (they basically amount to "well it's not as bad as the current welfare system") and basic income goes against fundamental libertarian principles.
- thatswrong0 9y agoYou can steer society more towards your philosophy by compromising. Or you can stamp your feet and try the all or nothing approach. Without a supermajority control of the legislative branch, the latter is pretty much useless.
- mindslight 9y agoThe problem is that compromise essentially happens based around what's profitable for entrenched interests. So every political movement is rooted in the inherent desire of people to be left alone, but mostly succeeds at applying its philosophy where it can enable enslavement.
