"So what were actually her arguments, other than just calling libertarians anarchists, her enemies, and mocking them?"
Well, let's see, from the first paragraph:
- She called Libertarianism "a mockery of philosophy and ideology"
- She accused Libertarians of "slinging slogans and trying to ride on two bandwagons"
Later, she accuses them of entertaining "amateur political notions" and "rushing into politics in order to get publicity".
She says that Libertarians
- are based on "half-baked ideas, and in part on borrowed ideas".
- "spend their time denouncing me, while plagiarizing my ideas".
- "are perhaps the worst political group today, because they can do the most harm to capitalism, by making it disreputable."
- would "like to have an amoral political program"
I could go on quoting her, but maybe if you actually read the article yourself you'll see what her "arguments" are.
- phaus 14y agoMost of these statements are so vague that she might as well not have made them. That was his point. The article doesn't give any real insight into her thought process, unless her thought process was indeed as shallow as this collection of interviews makes it out to be, which I doubt.
