Misc. on the politics of the sixties...interview w Anne Heller about books on libertariansim

[Mark Kohut]

I’m interested that libertarianism is an openly right-wing phenomenon. The word 
doesn’t sound like that. 

There have been attempts, especially in the 1960s, because libertarians are 
anti-war, to get together with the New Left, but it didn’t work very well 
because that was pretty much all they shared. The libertarians just don’t think 
government should take care of people.

Like anarchy?

Well, that is no government at all. These people want a little tiny government 
that will defend us against our enemies and police crime in the nation and they 
want courts that will adjudicate contracts. They think everything should be done 
by contract.
