"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
- Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
We have to make the connection between domestic and foreign policy more obvious.
Specifically, we have to demonstrate how spending on foreign policy is detracting from domestic issues.
Every dollar spent on maintaining a bloated and corrupt overseas empire is one less dollar we have to spend on things that matter most to Americans.
Putting it in terms of pure dollars and cents is something that I believe will resonant with average Americans.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

That was Rothbard's angle back in the 60s, to leverage common anti-war sentiments. The New Left also adopted libertarian ideas on the domestic front. It failed. You can read about it here: https://mises.org/library/new-left-w...t-it-collapsed.

The issue I have is 90% of the libertarians I have encountered in my life (and I’ve encountered a lot) think socialism and socialists are of the devil and want nothing to do with us. It’s beyond the point of considering it, they actively try to find reasons for it not to work instead of finding reasons it can.
