From a partisan political perspective there is definitely a big element of irony the number of people who mock Libertarians, call them racist etc. yet for decades they have called for the legalization of drugs, the end of the drug wars, less laws which allow police to abuse their power, fighting against the militarization of the police and the list goes on. And then, for example, you have the Democratic Party in the mid ‘90’s passing a crime bill that increased funding and the militarization of the police as well as putting more people in prison to such an extent that Michelle Alexander wrote a book about it called “The New Jim Crow”. Yet these same folks are now going to bring us serious reform?
