Why Libertarians should be Abolitionists (by Murray Rothbard)

Murray Rothbard explains how slavery abolitionists were successful - and what we libertarians can learn from them.  

In short, we must urge immediate abolition of the state, while recognising that our goal will be achieved gradually in the end.  We must not support anything that goes against our principles, but this does not preclude us from making 'transition demands': supporting reductions in state power, even when they do not go as far as we would like.
