It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

History of the Libertarian Movement
If you don't know the history of the modern Libertarian movement in the United States and Canada then you need to read this.
Brad Spangler has done a great service in finding this lost treatise by Edmontonian Samuel Edward Konkin III (aka SEK3). SEK3 was one of the founders of modern day Left Libertarianism as well as being an avid Sci-Fi afficinado.
It is the history of the modern day Libertarian movement and its relationship to the New Left. Or as the saying goes this is not your daddies Republican or Conservative or even Social Credit party. Nope. This libertarianism is the unkown ideal, apologies to Ayn Rand.
Once you have read it you will understand why I laugh everytime Monte Solberg calls himself a Libertarian.
