The Philosopher Behind the Project 2025-Trump Regime
The Karl Marx of Libertarianism
The Libertarian Manifesto (more or less)
A specter is haunting America— the specter of Libertarianism. All the Powers of Government have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter.
The Libertarians disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the working classes tremble at a Libertarian revolution. The capitalists have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
RICH PEOPLE OF AMERICA UNITE!
Is my parody too hyperbolic? Sadly, no. We can see this extreme attitude in today’s tech bros such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. We can also see this specter and revolution being enacted into literal law by the new presidential regime’s Project 2025 agenda.
