Dude, who even knows.

Hearing these assessments of Murray Rothbard and paleolibertarianism as a predecessor of modern right-populism makes some things I was noticing in the late ‘90s daily libertarian links roundup at free-market.net but didn’t have referents for finally make sense, particularly Lew Rockwell and Justin Raimondo (noted as a disciple) at Antiwar.org. The distinct thing about the paleos it seemed to me was their monetarism, and with that site they were leading with a position – non-interventionist right-pacifism – that they did honestly hold, but seemed more importantly an open niche they could claim. Associating them with '90s white-Enough!ness… makes sense, though.
Makes it a little funny that was completely unrelated to how I came across Steve Sailer, which was actually his comments on Matt Yglesias’ American Prospect blog
