I enjoyed this interview by Rabbit. Rabbit is the main other Alternative Left blogger besides yours truly. However, Rabbit takes a much more strongly pro-White view than I do. In fact, he hobnobs quite a bit with overt White nationalists like Matt Parrot and Greg Johnson, something I am quite loath to do as I really do not want to be associated with these people. People call me racist enough as it is!
Nice interview. I always thought that Heinlein was some sort of a libertarian prick, and it is true that a lot of these young men taking up “Internet Libertarianism” do seem to have read too many Heinlein books. But possibly they took away the wrong message from them. I had no idea that Heinlein started out as a Leftist. In fact, I believe that he he never removed himself from the Left.
Even in his later libertarian phase, he seemed awfully Leftist for a libertarian. Face it, libertarianism is a rightwing movement. I know that libertarians like to say that they are neither right nor left, but that’s crap. They’re just saying that to get liberals and Leftists to vote for them. I have not met a leftwing libertarian yet. I do not believe there is such a thing, unless it’s someone like Heinlein.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, which is about a lunar prison colony revolt.
