The Molinari Institute has launched a new bi monthly journal for Left Libertarians from both the individualist and socialist schools of thought. Congrats to them. A tip o the blog to Brad Spangler for this.
This of course exclude 99.9% of the Blogging Tory's in Canada, regardless of their labeling themselves Libertarian (they are actually Randites) and those who often comment here, sans Reg. And it completely excludes the Statist neo-cons that blog as Liberals.
For those interested here is what they say;CALL TO SUBMIT ARTICLES Later this year (2006) the Molinari Institute will begin publishing a magazine (either quarterly or bimonthly – stay tuned) titled
The Industrial Radical, and devoted to radical libertarian political and social analysis in the tradition of Benjamin Tucker’s 1881-1908
Liberty, Emma Goldman’s 1906-1917
Mother Earth, and Murray Rothbard’s 1965-1968
Left & Right.
Topics to be explored include: radical libertarian alternatives to statism, militarism, and intellectual property; the social and cultural requirements of a free and flourishing society; the structure of work, family, and property relationships in such a society; strategies for getting from here to there; and the possibility of “gains from trade” between the left/socialist and right/capitalist traditions within libertarianism.
The title “Industrial Radical” honors the
libertarian and individualist anarchist thinkers and activists of the 19th century, who were “industrial” in the sense of championing what they called the industrial mode of social organization, based on voluntary cooperation and mutual benefit, over the militant mode, based on hierarchy, regimentation, and violence; and who were “radical” in the sense of recognizing that social problems are embedded in sustaining networks of institutions and practices, and so can be addressed only via thoroughgoing social change. Their approach informs our vision.
