I'm all for differing viewpoints, but prospective watchers should know that Murray Rothbard considered Adam Smith an anti-capitalist proto-Marxist. He also had some very 'interesting' views on women's liberation, race, homosexuality, slavery, etc. etc.


Really an odd way to show you are for differing viewpoints, to inoculate "prospective watchers" by opening the floodgates to a host of disparate subjects that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, all the while winking and nudging that he is a bigot regarding said subjects.

So you understand my critique, and then proceed to bring up yet more unrelated subjects, referencing individuals at random who have nothing in common with the one we're discussing. I don't think you really understand my critique.


You know, guys, I don't think you're likely to reach any sort of consensus or learn anything from one another. So you may as well stop now.
