I will state that as a candidate in Utah, if we moved toward socialism,
I would burn my card and denounce the Libertarian Party mid-race.
Principles are why I came here. If we don't stand up for them, I will be
gone. That simple.
Principles are: non aggression. Self-ownership.
If we take that stand that non voluntary means are acceptable, such as
the end result of socialism, then we are lost and I will be once again
politically homeless. I have no problems with co-ops existing. You do
you, but there must be the ability for a person to revoke consent and
leave a commune in order for it to be voluntary. Since there has been
advocacy for the forced taking of property, I cannot support that, will
not support that, and anyone in Region 1 who has a problem with me
saying such is welcome to demand a recall of my post with their chairs.
It is NOT divisive to call out aggression in ideology.
