And that is what I want to talk about. Besides, I asked a few minarchists too, and, while they all seemed to have reasons why they thought the LP is of value, no one even tried to demonstrate why the movement needs it. I was looking for someone to come up with a believable reason why, if there were no LP, the libertarian movement would fail. No one supplied one. Well, some of them seemed to enjoy using whatever minuscule results they could eke out of LP participation in the electoral process as a sort of cattle prod on the complacent statists they dislike so intensely.
Different people have different tastes and abilities.
For me, other strategies are more productive. For some other people, the electoral strategy is probably the most productive. What is interesting to me about this is that, while David seems to agree that the LP is not necessary, he makes the point that it may legitimately seem so to some people. Interesting is good, but there's no proof of need for the movement here. Anything else would be a default of responsibility.
