    Zooey,

    Good definition of the right’s version of libertarian. It’s a shame they hijacked the term.

    I know you know this . . . but the left’s version predates the right’s by a coupla centuries. William Morris, Petr Kropotkin, Oscar Wilde, Kafka, James C. Scott, and Noam Chomsky fall into that left-libertarian, libertarian socialist, libertarian communist camp, as do I. In another forum, some time ago, I ID’d as such and was told there is no such thing. Had to point them to the relevant literature, etc.

    The right’s version is pretty much astroturfed by the Koch brothers, with assists from Milton Friedman, the Austrian School, and Ayn Rand . . . though the latter claimed not to be one. Most Americans assume that’s the only kind. Ron Paul, Tyler Cowen, etc. etc.

    Oh, well.

    The comments on this on FB where I found it were all focused on some point of grammar.

    This is from Patton’s Address to the Third Army:

    One of the bravest men I saw in the African campaign was on a telegraph pole in the midst of furious fire while we were moving toward Tunis. I stopped and asked him what the hell he was doing up there. He answered, ‘Fixing the wire, sir.’ ‘Isn’t it a little unhealthy up there right now?’ I asked. ‘Yes sir, but this goddamn wire has got to be fixed.’ I asked, ‘Don’t those planes strafing the road bother you?’ And he answered, ‘No sir, but you sure as hell do.’ Now, there was a real soldier.
