Kremlintarian Party

“ To all that were attracted to the Libertarian Party by my 2020 candidacy: I am sorry.

It has become a terrible dumpsterfire of a shitshow. I regret my involvement in such a non functional embarrassment full of paleo dipshits, pedo apologists, and culture war fuckwads.

— Vermin Supreme, February 8, 2023

The Kremlintarian Party, or “Libertarian” Party is a US political party, formerly libertarian, now Kremlintarian, nationalist[2], taken over by the Hoppe Caucus.

“ The Libertarian Party we knew and loved is dead. It is not coming back.

If you love freedom, I’d advise you to NOT donate any of your money or volunteer time to a compromised organization.

This is a call to boycott to Libertarian Party.

— Kevin Gaughen [3]

It advocates for

• Kremlintarianism in foreign policy [4] [5][6] [7]
• Dissolution of the United States[8], based on the idea[9] that, while having both pro and anti-abortion members within its party [10], such disagreements can’t exist within a country [11].
• Voting for the Republican Party [12] (?)
• Strong opinions on epidemiology [13]
• Thinks the US can end all wars (?) [14] and can and should disband NATO [15] [16]
• “Whatever this is” [17]:

Like the Republican party is not “republican” (whatever that means) and the Democrat one does not represent democracy anymore than others, the Libertarian party is no longer libertarian.

• Anna Partisanka, “There is no libertarian party of America. I don’t care what these fascists tell you dear friends. Don’t ever pick their candidates. Don’t fund them. Don’t support them. They are lie. Defining principle of libertarianism is non aggression followed by property rights.” (thread) (pdf)

Candidates and races

• “Marc Victor joins a growing list of Arizonans from across the political spectrum who are fed up with open borders” [21]

The Trump—backed Masters responded: "Marc Victor joins a growing list of Arizonans from across the political spectrum who are fed up with open borders [22]

I know I shouldn’t make fun of somebody’s name, but… “Libertarians for Masters” is a bit ridiculously on the nose. The editors should have sent that one back to the writers as too obvious.[23]

• Why is a Libertarian candidate dropping out and endorsing someone who explicitly said “Libertarianism doesn’t work”?

Member resignations

• I was a card-carrying Libertarian and voted third party in every election since McCain ran for President. After they made their position known, I surrendered my card and emailed them to tell them to never ask for a dime from me again.
