[Lnc-business] Socialist entryism

[Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair)]

Should the purpose of such a motion be to repudiate an idea, reaffirm our beliefs, or both.

If we do the any of the above the motion should on repudiating collectivism from all walks whether it is trying to divide society by looking at each other as collectives at war to justify oppression or trying to Impose ownership of property as collectively owned to justify confiscation. That we reject collectivism in all realms that seeks to subvert the rights of the individual to self-ownership and everything that derives from that truth.

Alex Merced
Vice Chair of the Libertarian National Committee/LP

I advised them to speak to their Regional Representatives - specifically these states are (and I may be forgetting a few) South Carolina, Colorado, and Washington.  Other affiliates indicated interest but everyone is understandably busy with election season items.

Now that there is an acting judicial committee, let the socialists appeal if they think we are not a socialist party.

I have no problem with AnComs, Mutualists, etc offering their support from the outside with clearly defined ideological lines, but I have a very serious problem with socialist entryism from within the Party. Those who are satisfied with socialism within the LP are not defending liberty. We are diametrically opposed forces, while we may parellel statists up to a certain point, we are not the same.

I will not stand idle or quiet as this occurs. I hereby disavow the Libertarian Socialist Caucus and all of its collaborators and supporters.
