Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?
#87
RE: Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?
I was into anarcho-capitalistim for a while. It's a type of libertarianism that thinks the normal roles of government would be better handled by profit driven companies. It seems a bit too crazy to me now. Supposedly, human rights would be better secured under this system and would allow greater prosperity. Economists at the "Mises Institute" and atheist Stefan Molyneux are the largest advocates of it today.

I don't know what to think of it anymore. I have to take time to properly reevaluate my political stances but I'm just throwing it out here as something interesting.
My ignore list
