Murray Rothbard's defense of slavery, as part of his libertarian philosopy.
Rothbard made two exceptions to his general condemnation of war: "the American Revolution and the War for Southern Independence, as viewed from the Confederate side", referring to the American Civil War.[144] Rothbard condemned the "Northern war against slavery", saying it was inspired by "fanatical" religious faith and characterized by "a cheerful willingness to uproot institutions, to commit mayhem and mass murder, to plunder and loot and destroy, all in the name of high moral principle".[145][146][147] He celebrated Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and other prominent Confederates as heroes while denouncing Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and other Union leaders.
Rothbard's defense of slavery is a significant aspect of his libertarian philosophy, which was followed up by Timothy C May and the precursors of Bitcoin.
Its supported today by Jameson Lopp. Nayib Bukkake, Adam Back. Vitalik Buterin. Aaorn Van Wirdum and similar. Greg Maxwell.
Safety in numbers!
