Nader: Progressive-libertarian alliance ‘the most exciting new political dynamic’ in US
Could this be the future of politics in America? This trends analyst believes so. He predicts a global youth uprising, ‘progressive libertarians’ in the coming years. Watch his interview...
I believe for this alliance to work both Progressives and Libertarians groups would have to set aside many most of their pet issues. They would have to focus like a laser beam on issues they agree on like:
Cutting the military by fundamentally changing the foreign policy Cutting corporate welfare Restoring civil liberties Cutting back the information and surveillance police state.
If the Libertarian faction pushes stuff like gun issues and cutting welfare or the Progressives push for stuff like foreign aid for Darfour or more money for public schools the coalition would quickly fall apart.
It would take a delicate balancing act for Nader's suggestion to work.
