So if he was a libertarian that supported open borders in 2000, are you suggesting that Harry Browne would no longer be a libertarian now? Or are you suggesting that it's OK to define libertarianism as one thing pre-2000 and a different thing post-2000? Do you not see your inconsistency here?
Harry Browne's driving philosophy was distrust of govt regulation. He would not agree with the party right now. He would not have supported any of the candidates starting with Bob Barr.
He would still distrust govt today and be intrigued with the idea of minarchism. He would certainly approve of the post office being replaced by private online transactions and deliveries.
But he believed in the functions of courts, police and defense of the nation because he realized they protected freedom. There is nothing inconsistent.
PS...I've really enjoyed the conversation but I have to sign off in 15 minutes so make it quick.
