PURGING THE LIBERTARIAN DEVIANTS

I followed a link from Karen De Coster to this amusing post by Tom Palmer. If you can stomach the comments, one finds this:

I presume that Tiny Tim was referring, not to the idea of being patient and undertaking long-temr planning, but rather to the cadre strategy that I discussed with Murray Rothbard many times and that I came to reject as both inappropriate and repulsive. Rothbard frequently quipped that "Fewer but better is better," i.e., that one had constantly to purge out those with deviant thoughts (as defined by MNR) to find the true cadre who could be relied upon to play their role. That is a strategy that may be appropriate to what Lenin accomplished, viz. the seizure of absolute power, but it is not appropriate to what libertarians favor, which is the elimination of absolute power and universal respect for the equal rights of all.
