Libertarian Populism could become a bulwark against rising authoritarianism on the left and right, but it's not yet clear how durable such a synthesis can be.
We must build new systems to hold our representatives accountable. They are out of control. We need parallel, decentralized, 100% transparent systems that we the people have 100% control over. Basically we need to handcuff our representatives. Good representatives won't care. And corrupt ones will be scared away from politics.
I agree with the principles outlined here. My only quibble is under “non-interventionism”. This should include recognition of the need for NATO and other alliances between democracies. But it should also recognise that those alliances must be defensive and definitely not serving expansionist or interventionist goals
I am uncertain about this, not because I don't agree that these alliances should be defensive, but whether these alliances as currently constituted can be reformed. And they desperately need reform across multiple dimensions.
Don't trust, verify.
