Paul is a distinctively American type of libertarian: one that doesn't
have a critique of the state so much as a critique of the federal
government. That's a very different kettle of fish. I think
libertarianism is problematic enough - in that it ignores the whole
realm of social domination (or thinks that realm is entirely dependent
upon or a function of the existence of the state or thinks that it can
be remedied by the persuasive and individual actions of a few good
souls) - but a states-rights-based libertarianism is a social
disaster.
