*Militant* and *libertarian* are contradictory.

"Militant" suggests a lack of respect for others, and a good chance that you are a nutcase.

************************************************** * Teddy Rooselvelt said "Speak softly and carry a big stick". The big stick referred to the military. He could also be argued he was a proponent of "gunboat diplomacy". Do you consider Teddy R. a nutcase? |

Re: My political philosophy in a nutshell...
Er, Felix...I am presuming a distinction of some sort between "militant" as relates to an individual, and "military" as relates to a country's armed forces. Also, I didn't get the impression that the original poster was using the term in the conventional military sense.
I think most "militants" (not meaning members of the official armed services) are probably nutcases. What does a "Militant Leftist Libertarian" do, exactly? Are they anything like Militants Environmentalists, but different in what they choose as targets for sabotage? Now you've got me wondering. |

Re: My political philosophy in a nutshell...
By militant, I mean that I am steadfast in my ideology and willing to evangelise it.
As for left-libertarian, think of certain factions of the NDP and Bloc Quebecois here in Canada, left-wing Hong Kong politician Leung Kwok-hung, Czechoslovak dissident Aleksandr Dubcek (No love for the Soviets on my part.), Bob Brown and the Aussie Greens, Spanish President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the Scottish Socialist Party, a few fringe radical parties in France, etc... |

Re: My political philosophy in a nutshell...
OK, well thanks for the clarification.
It sounds to me like you are an "activist" rather than a "militant"--I've always thought of "militant" as associated with some degree of violence, or threat of violence... |

I find it strange that your hatred does not extend to radical Islamist?
