As a #geolibertarian, I will be the first to tell you that #TaxationIsTheft, and that I think many of those taxes should not have been imposed and ought to be repealed.

I lived in Philadelphia from 1991-1997, and my consulting business was based in Philadelphia up until 2012. I'm familiar with Philadelphia politics and economics. I also lived in Pittsburgh during my university years.

High taxes aren't making Philadelphia unaffordable, in comparison to other major US cities.

If you follow me for any length of time, you’ll figure out pretty quickly that I’m a #qwoc who is a #geolibertarian (very left wing) and a supporter of the #RTKBA. Times like these unveil for all to see the #hypocrisy of the right wing in America, especially among our #GunNuts (which I am not). These are the guys amassing arsenals because they loathe the #gubmint, yet at the first sign of the left actively opposing authority, they are the first to call for the killing to begin. #USpol

As a #geolibertarian, I generally support people's #rights to settle where they like and build what they like, so long as they are properly compensating the community for the #consequences of their actions; however, there is a natural limit to #freedom.

That limit obviously exists where individual choices, either alone or in the aggregate, pose #existential risks to the community.

#Libertarianism is not a synonym for #Anarchism, nor is libertarianism necessarily a belief in #Minarchism.

How do Dems win over people like me, a definitively #leftist #geolibertarian?

1. Drop #GunControl.
2. Pass the #EqualityAct and #EqualRightsAmendment.
3. #OpenBorders.
4. Yes to #LandValueTax, No to #IncomeTax.
5. Universal #BasicIncome, #healthcare, #housing, and #education.
6. Dismantle the #military #DHS security #police #prison-industrial complex. Abolish the #DeathPenalty.
7. No support for #fascism, #apartheid, or #genocide. EVER.
8. #Degrowth, #powerdown, and #urbanism for #ClimateChange

My politics are #geolibertarian--far left--and as much as the Fascist Republican Party would like you to believe #Harris is a radical leftist, she isn't and never has been.

She is a status quo neoliberal conservative, barely distinguishable from an Eisenhower Republican, but for the progress of time.

Worse, she is a police state authoritarian just like Joe Biden before her. She is trying on a "good cop/bad cop" routine, with Trump cast as the bad cop, but there are no good cops. #ACAB

LRT: ' "free speech defender" to "champion of disinformation" '

These two things are the same. Not a transformation, an unmasking, a reveal.

As a #geolibertarian, I have seen this over and over among people who identify as #libertarian. They were never libertarian; they were always #authoritarian. The only difference is a matter of scale.

A true libertarian believes in Equality, Liberty, and Justice for *all*. An authoritarian believes some animals are more equal than others.
