/* Can race realism be permitted in the libertarian movement? */ Interesting article. I have also noticed Reason's Jewish authors taking shots at anyone critical of Israel, Likud, or the IDF's actions, regardless of how disrespecting those are of the central libertarian notions of individual rights and dignity when it comes to the Palestinians and Americans who suffer under the might and influence. Even if LRC and AWC have, at times, provided a stage for European-American bashing and anti-American sentiments, it's important to note that LRC is openly anti-state, and to some extent, the establishment (including the rapidly-diminishing percentage that identifies as being 'white') is xenophobic, classist and tribalist. Since the establishment tends to have a lot pull when the interests of the state are being defined, it makes a certain amount of sense from LRC's viewpoint to identify the establishment with the state and its excess when its trying to reach out to the lower class, whose ranks are currently swelling with Mestizo illegal immigrants. (Not defending that viewpoint, just saying that it's not necessary incongruent for LRC to identify with the lower class instead of the state.)
