(Reason). Under-30s dig both socialism and libertarianism more than the average American does. What does that mean?
Both of them represent an anti-establishment perspective (rebellion against authority is common among teens and young adults) and a certain ideological purity vs. pragmatic politics as usual. You have more of a revolutionary paradigm shift of perspective. Paul reveals that the State itself is corrupt, while Sanders preaches the myth that evil plutocrats pervert the innocent State.
Good response. You could have went with the usual these kids are stupid and I'm a smart libertarian because the free marke will fix itself. Which has nothing to do with the fact that libertarians have no candidate and the best one they had, Ron Paul IMHO, had no where near the following Bernie has. Why? Because the majority of people will not defend the hooray for me and fuck you attitude of the typical Libertarian.
The typical libertarian is more of a realist about the intrinsic failures and hubris of the anti-competitive centralized government. You simply have an irrational fear of a free market and its dynamic nature and don't see the opportunity costs of what would have happened without corrupt government intervention. Why aren't more idealists in the Paul camp? I think in part it seems more paradoxical that a libertarian would want to be part of the political establishment and would want to downsize it. It's harder for young people to see the way the invisible hand works. Legislation is something tangible. Younger people are typically ignorant of economics, the law of comparative advantage, the law of supply and demand, the reality of regulatory capture, etc.
(end of exchange)
Intellectually lazy accusation. It's easy to separate those of you who give a shit about the meaning of words and those that don't. You don't see Bernie supporters going around calling Rand Paul folk anarchists, at least I haven't seen it. But carry on, as soon as I see Socialism/Communism I know I can immediately dismiss your intelligence.
That's because Bernie Sanders is an economic illiterate in a state of denial, idiot.
