Objectivism

For what it's worth I think very highly of Popper, and have mixed feelings about Rand. Rand's attitude (as expressed in her fiction) to selfishness and capitalism and individual responsibility has considerable merit. And her descriptions of what is despicable are perhaps even better. But Objectivism is not fallibilist and not fully coherent.

In the interest of discussing different libertarian attitudes: I think the wrong type of libertarianism is expressed in the Free State project. They want to get thousands of people to move to a state and vote the same way. They expect that because they are all libertarians, they will all agree what to vote. That is never going to work.
