Saturday event, which was roundly condemned after marchers carried Nazi 
flags, performed Hitler salutes and chanted white supremacist and 
anti-Semitic sayings while carrying torches. He could not be reached for

in protest. The Libertarian Party of Seminole County also disbanded and 
its chair, Don Menzel, resigned in protest of his candidacy. Wyllie 
alleged at the time Invictus wanted to lead a civil war in the country, 
recruit neo-Nazis to the party and supported a eugenics program.</p>

Bay Times reported Monday white nationalist leader Richard Spencer 
credited Invictus with writing a first draft of the “Charlottesville 
Statement”.</p><p>The statement, according to the Times, has tenets including, “Jews 
are an ethno-religious people distinct from Europeans … whites alone 
defined America as a European society and political order .. [and] the

yes to obtain their gold and spices, but also to give to them civilization.

                                                    majority voted down

                                                    a bad decision isn't

                                                    is itself, I
                                                    believe, a form of
                                                    bigotry akin to
                                                    racism. It is an
                                                    anti-individualist
                                                    philosophy which,
                                                    translated into

                                                    results in virtually
                                                    every national
                                                    government in the
                                                    world wrongfully
                                                    discriminating

                                                    the basis of innate
                                                    characteristics
                                                    beyond their control
                                                    (where they were
                                                    born or who their
                                                    parents were). It
                                                    also tends to lead
                                                    people to take
                                                    un-libertarian
                                                    positions, such as
                                                    being willing to
                                                    initiate force
                                                    against immigrants,
                                                    supporting
                                                    protectionism, and
                                                    accepting various
                                                    rights violations in
                                                    the name of
                                                    "national security".
                                                    Nationalism can also
                                                    serve as a cover for
                                                    racism, because
                                                    nationalist and
                                                    racist views often
                                                    dovetail when it
                                                    comes to issues like
                                                    immigration, racial
                                                    profiling in the
                                                    name of "national
                                                    security", the U.S.
                                                    government killing
                                                    people in other
                                                    countries, etc. But
                                                    despite being as
                                                    repugnant as racism,
                                                    nationalism has so
                                                    far largely gotten a
                                                    pass from society
                                                    including from many
                                                    (L)ibertarians. If
                                                    we are serious about

                                                          actually favor
                                                          its basic
                                                          ideas through
                                                          primaries. 
                                                          The next
                                                          question, the
                                                          crucial
                                                          question, is -
                                                          can the
                                                          affiliate fix
                                                          it?  (A
                                                          related, but
                                                          somewhat
                                                          different
                                                          question, is
                                                          whether it
                                                          wants to.)  I
                                                          think the
                                                          answer to that
                                                          is yes.  There
                                                          is, of course,
                                                          a tipping
                                                          point - a
                                                          point where
                                                          rather than
                                                          try to fix the
                                                          problem, good
                                                          people simply
                                                          leave, and the
                                                          ability to fix
                                                          the problem
                                                          goes away. 
                                                          And good
                                                          people are, it
                                                          seems clear to
                                                          me, leaving. 
                                                          I still do not
                                                          think the
                                                          tipping point
                                                          has been
                                                          reached,
