The intersection of libertarianism and traditionalism (First Nations traditionalism in particular) has long been a subject that I have tried to wrap my head around. This commentary by Ryan McMaken at LewRockwell.com lays out a basic element of that intersection — local sovereignty — quite effectively. I am not entirely sure of my response to his words yet, but they have helped to clarify my own thoughts on this subject (and that is always welcome).
“While free markets unquestionably provide a freer, wealthier society, the issue of local sovereignty is a strength in libertarianism that is often neglected. Libertarianism does not demand ideological loyalty in order to function. It functions when people simply try to carry on their lives in peace. In a libertarian society, traditionalists like Russell Means could live life in their own way, and we’d live it in ours.”
