We’ve already won the big fight
“Libertarians can believe, with some justification, that we are in some sense
already living in their world… We are not living in Karl Marx’s world… We
live in a world energized and shaped by the beliefs of Marx’s political-
economic rivals and enemies — the classical liberals, the thinkers who
believed a harmony of interests is manifest in unrestricted markets, that free
trade can prevent war and make us all richer, that decentralized private
property ownership helps create a spontaneous order of rich variety.”
This, again, is inspiring. Of course, there are still great struggles to fight,
and more victories — and hearts and minds — to win. But history is on our
side. We have won much, and we are poised to win more.
That’s great news — and well worth remembering!
