Libertarian Utopianism was always bound to fail

Everybody has a plan until he gets punched in the mouth

Watching Brad Polumbo debate Michael Knowles on the role of law with respect to transgenderism is instructive: it explains why we find ourselves, decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, under the yoke of cultural Marxism: Polumbo argues, predictably, that freedom itself is impossible when certain ideas are restricted or banned outright, because as a libertarian, he believes adults should be left alone to make their own choices and to think their own thoughts. This is classical liberal pluralism — more specifically, the classically liberal paradigm as it exists in its pristine form. But a problem arises when a literal cancer to that worldview is intentionally introduced into the body, with the express desire to kill its host. To achieve some “fundamental transformation,” as the fellow once said.

Ain’t that a kick in the head?

There are certain ideas that we’ve discovered over time, after long accepting their place in our social order, that CANNOT and WILL NOT co-exist with classically liberal pluralism; because these ideas reject science, rationality, individualism, and universality, they are at direct odds with the Founding and Framing of this country, which grew out of Enlightenment thought, and expresses -- or "performs" -- that thought through the Constitution and its principles in law.
