Today, libertarianism is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity and media attention. The ideas of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, and F.A. Hayek are now being discussed–however ineptly–on a national stage, and for perhaps the first time ever, libertarians have a prominent position at the table of public discourse. But the more the spotlight turns toward the “liberty movement,” the more concerned libertarians should be about the unsavory, conspiratorial, and pseudoscientific beliefs being spread under the banner of the libertarian and antiwar movements. For too long, libertarians have ignored the problem and pretended that it has no impact on our credibility, believing that open opposition would be too “divisive.” This has proved to be a mistake–and an increasingly costly one.
