White, Right, and Libertarian

De: Christopher Chase Rachels

Narrado por: Robert Miller

White, Right, and Libertarian is a compilation of sociopolitical essays which accomplish three major tasks: First, libertarianism (a.k.a. anarcho-capitalism) is strictly defined and grounded in the private property ethic, contrary to the practice of so-called left-"libertarians"; second, the notion that open state borders and "freedom of movement" are positions derived from libertarian principles is refuted. Finally, the alternative right (alt-right) and libertarianism are revealed as complementary movements worthy of being aligned.

libertarianism isn't one thing or another

Audible Review: Regarding the book, the thesis fails the most fundamental reality check in that it prescribes a narrative replete with indefensible assertions (the primary being too assumptive, presumptive, general and reductionist). Libertarianism is more than the make up of sexes, genders, breeds, races, cultures, and terminology to express liberal and conservative agendas.

Those who are sensitive to alt-right topics or who are unfamiliar with Hoppe will likely be distracted by the last half of the book. Take a deep breath and try to learn something that can be used for wholesome activism. it will feel like a case is being made for what amounts to white bread, neo patriarchal post-charolettesville, pro angry white boy politics, It makes the mistake of attempting to permanently define everything related to libertarianism within this shallow vantage point and the result is pessimistic whatifism and libertarian nationalism with an intentional white conservative, and implied male/european racially insensitive, bent. It doesn't fit well in friendly discourse and likely will start arguments, if that's how you spend your time.

in short, libertarianism is a philosophy, a personal science, that is growing, changing and is as temporal and adapting as life itself. This work will hopefully be a blink in the eye and mostly forgotten, otherwise it will likely remain a core doctrine for the alt-right branch of libertarianism for year's to come.

The narrator finds a way to take the material and engage the listener superbly. Props.
