But that tactic wouldn’t really serve them if Democracy they truly wanted to implement capitalist policies, because that by Ian Downie ambiguous of a principle would not consistently guide policy towards True Capitalism. Many people, sincerely attempting Libertarians are rightfully tired to follow that ambiguous principle, would support some very of explaining to its repetitive non-capitalist policies that they’d believe naturally from this critics that True Capitalism is principle. not remotely similar to the numerous examples of crony So, instead of that putting forth that ambiguous principle, we capitalism that we find all should expect the proponents of an ideology to define its core around us.

The primary principles of capitalism Where this starts to get interesting for libertarians is when we being the establishment and protection of private property start to examine certain systems that many of us don’t rights. wholeheartedly support, such as Democracy. Many libertarians hold incorrect assessments of what Democracy’s They are right to do so, this is the best way of determining principles are. It is for that reason that they so frequently whether any system is of a particular kind. associate Democracy with corrupt systems, just as critics of capitalism do in regards to it. However, the accuracy of this test is limited by the accuracy of the principles that are applied within it. If you define These libertarian critics of democracy believe that the core capitalism’s core principle as being “spending money” or principles of democracy are found in majority rule and the “accumulating capital in the hands of the few”, then this test ballot box. But that is as accurate an assessment as it would be will fail to separate what proponents of capitalism are actually to conclude that the core principles of capitalism can be found aiming for from the examples its critics want to portray it as. in bank bail outs and regulatory capture. Yes, America is often considered both an exemplar of democracy as well as capitalism, and, yes, it’s true that in America majority rule, and bailouts, and the like, are common practice. But America is an exemplar of neither True Democracy nor True Capitalism.
Who, then, gets to determine what the true principles of capitalism are when utilizing this test? It wouldn’t make sense to allow its critics to define these principles, as it would In order to accurately account for what True Democracy is, we behoove them to define its core principles as being horrendous need to establish its core principles, not asking our fellow and corrupt, in order to associate capitalism with corrupt libertarians who are often its critics, but from its proponents. regimes.

Among many of the LPDC’s goals is our desire to send representatives regularly to the events of other groups, both like-minded and otherwise. The External Events committee manages the calendar of upcoming events around the county and keeps track of which libertarians attend which events.

Forget the Trump Cult—Libertarians Reject the Statist Cult! by Garry Reed
NOTE: “Cult” has many definitions. This definition is used for this article:
Cults are typically I always believed that small communities were the way to go, hierarchical, that use that the people should be the ones to govern themselves. I had formal and informal a strong belief that the government – if there even needed to practices to socialize be one – should stay out of our personal lives, long before I members.

Because of this, I see a Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual.” Page 6 Libertarian Party of Dallas County, Texas March 2021
finally changed with President Trump. Not only has he been impeached twice but many have advocated going far beyond simple impeachment.
Deprogram Everyone The day before Trump’s presidential term ended mental health counselor Steven Hassan stirred up a firestorm when he told CNN in January that "all of America needs deprogramming due to the negative influence of President Trump, especially rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol.”
The “deprogramming” mantra was immediately picked up and Their concern was that government, and especially presidents, dutifully parroted by others in the Kool-Aid drinking Alt-Left had slipped the bonds of the Constitution and had become far authoritarian Democratic Socialism echo chamber of too powerful. Government, Libertarians declared, “has only Democratic Party supporters. one legitimate function, the protection of individual rights.” Yet year after year president after president has been So how did Trump’s supporters become cult members in accumulating more and more power in the form of dictatorial desperate need of “deprogramming?” They became cult “executive orders” into their own hands, like a charismatic members because Leading Cult Expert Steven Hassan and leader of a cult called “The State.” others said so, and they must be deprogrammed because leading cult expert Steven Hassan and others said so. We were warned about this twice when Gene Healy, then a Senior Editor and now Vice President of the libertarian Cato Institute, published his book The Cult of the Presidency: America's Dangerous Devotion to Executive Power in which he spared neither party’s presidents and followed it in 2012 with False Idol: Barack Obama and the Continuing Cult of the Presidency. Needless to say, the Presidential Cults have continued unabated.
Hassan said so in his 2019 book The Cult of Trump: A Leading Cult Expert Explains How the President Uses Mind Control.
So what are these mind control techniques? A Goodreads reviewer notes that “Hassan's preferred framework is the B.I.T.E. model, which categorizes cults in the ways they control Behavior, Information, Thoughts and Emotion.” These “controls” are voluminous. It took Reviewer Ross Blocher a 198-word paragraph just to summarize them. Here’s a summary of his summary:
Behavioral controls include rewards and punishment, discouragement of A reviewer at The Independent Institute summarized The Cult individualism, groupthink, rigid rules and of the Presidency this way: “Healy’s analysis provides an regulations, punishment for disobedience… alarming view of how much power presidents exercise and how little the public seems to care.” But that of course has Information controls include deception,

Thought control is expressed in terms of Deprogram (transitive verb) black and white, good versus evil, insiders Release (someone) from apparent versus outsiders, loaded clichés and brainwashing, typically that of a religious buzzwords, rejecting rational… cult, by the systematic reindoctrination of conventional values.—Oxford Dictionary Emotional controls block anger or doubt, makes members blame themselves for This is highly problematic. “Apparent” brainwashing? Apparent to whom? Who decides? And what exactly is problems, promotes feelings of guilt or brainwashing anyway? In our popular culture brainwashing unworthiness, instills fear, alternates praise means “If you believe something I don’t believe you’ve and criticism… obviously been brainwashed.”
And then there’s that “reindoctrination of conventional That’s pretty damn good for a non-politician outsider like values.” Indoctrination is a synonym for brainwashing, so Trump because these descriptions of cult-like behaviors “reindoctrination simply means “rebrainwashing.” And actually apply nearly across the board to every politician of reindoctrination into whose conventional values? Yours? every political persuasion who has ever reached the highest Mine? The Alt-Left Democratic Socialist’s? ranks of government. All of this talk of cults and deprograming begets the question Aren’t All Politicians Cult leaders? of who this Steven Hassan is and why he wants to deprogram, unbrainwash and reindoctrinate President Trump’s supporters. Not to defend Trump but instead of focusing his book on the former President and his followers maybe Steven Hassan should have widened his view and written “The Cult of the Hassan identifies himself this way: “Steven A.

So where is Steven Hassan’s book The Cult of Alinsky in Deprogramming the Deprogrammer which he insists that the entire political liberal subculture of But Hassan isn’t limited to book-learnin’ about cults. He was a America needs to be deprogrammed from Saul Alinsky’s Moonie. He tells his whole story in a 2012 Guardian article, “I cultic control over their minds? Apparently he never wrote was a Moonie cult leader,” and actually begins with “I such a book. consider myself to be an independent thinker” before becoming thoroughly brainwashed into Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church. He was a member for more than two years and even served as a cult leader himself.
If that’s an independent thinker it might be time to look up the definitions of “independent” and “thinker.” While he claims his stint as a cultist gives him deeper insight into cults the question remains: According to Hassan there are four types of cults and one of them is the political cult. But Hassan seems only to see cults on the political right. Why is that? Why does he clearly identify a Cult of Trump but apparently doesn’t see a Cult of Antifa or a Cult of BLM or a Cult of Democratic Socialism? Where is the Cult of Ocasio-Cortez or the cults of Pelosi or Schumer or Hillary or Obama? Page 8 Libertarian Party of Dallas County, Texas March 2021
But we know why of course. In the relentlessly metastasizing world of the bastardized ideology that can only be Steven Hassan doesn’t seem to be a Cult Expert so much as he characterized as Corporatist-Democratic Socialist Zealotry seems to be a Political Correctness Expert looking out for doing so would prove injurious to his career, and possibly to himself. So maybe it’s Hassan himself who needs to be his life and limb. deprogrammed from his own Cult of Me.
Ultimately Hassan isn’t about the cult of politics; he’s about Libertarians Reject All Political Cults the Cult of Political Partisanship. This is about the now- commonly acceptable and perversely spiteful Cult of Political Shaming.
Steven Hassan will never find any cults on the political left because if he did he would lose his book deals and be Both political parties, re: cults, are despotic and coercive in deplatformed by the big media corporatists and Culture their own way. Libertarians reject left-right partisan politics on Cancelled by the Social Justice Cult.

America as an individualism versus authoritarianism divide. Both major political cults are authoritarian. Libertarians are At this point Hassan would likely try to declare libertarianism individualists. a cult. But libertarianism is by definition a philosophy of individualism. The idea of an “Individualist Cult” would be In fairness if Steven Hassan’s work has helped families rescue the ultimate contradiction since that would be contrary to their loved ones from insidiously malicious brainwashing cults Hassan’s descriptions of what makes a cult a cult (such as as many have testified that’s a good thing. But that doesn’t “discouragement of individualism”). That means libertarians excuse him from the partisan branding of some politicians and really are independent thinkers who will never have any need their followers on one side of the great political divide as cults to be “deprogrammed” by a former Moonie loony. and cult members needing deprogramming while giving the likeminded sociopaths on the other side a pass. Yet Hassan is quoted as saying "all of America needs deprogramming due to the negative influence of President He wrote a book called The Cult of Trump. He could write an Trump, especially rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol.” If encyclopedia called The Cult of Anti-Trump. What it may all that’s the case why doesn’t all of America need come down to is that Hassan’s deep identification with the deprogramming due to the negative influence of all those other Liberal Left means that while he escaped the Moonie cult he’s cults, especially rioters and looters and arsonists who stormed still a cult leader; he’s just found himself a different cult. private businesses, police headquarters and people’s homes?

So maybe libertarians should be saying, “Leading Cult Expert Impeachment: Replacing One Cult President Steven Hassan, deprogram thyself.” with Another Meanwhile back at the Independent Institute the reviewer describes Gene Healy’s False Idol: Barack Obama and the Continuing Cult of the Presidency as “a highly compelling examination of both the Obama administration and our fixation on the fable of being led, comforted, and delivered by a presidential savior.” That’s because, the review continues, “we’ve embraced a warped notion of the presidency itself.”
The conclusion could as easily apply to President Trump as to President Obama and now to President Biden: “…even as the President’s popularity and effectiveness erode, his powers continue to expand, revealing how our political culture so deeply needs presidential salvation that even when faith in the office holder wanes, new powers are still delegated to the executive branch.” Editor's note: Re-published from the Libertarian Opinionizer This is why libertarians continue their fight against the false with permission from the author.
