I'm creating a new political party. It should be the most radical organization ever. It may also be the best.
It will be dedicated entirely to freedom. It will tell nothing but truth. It will adhere to principle at all costs. It will make no intellectual or moral compromises whatsoever.
Or, at least, it will try to meet these lofty standards. Try with a certain ferocity and zeal.
It should be the antithesis of the American Libertarian Party. It will closely stick to its principles and always argue using the truth. It will be limitlessly extreme, never willing to sugarcoat, soft pedal, dumb down, or talk down on any issue, however difficult or arcane. It will treat everyone with implied respect, presuming that they have intelligence and virtue, even if they have little. But it will also show them no mercy. It will be their job to meet the high intellectual and moral standards necessary to join, or participate in, the organization.
The group should also be the antithesis of The Ayn Rand Institute. It will be entirely open to discussion and debate. It won't be weird, malicious, or cult-like. It won't practice abuse, censorship, or excommunication of critics and dissidents. Rather, if they're wrong, it will intellectually and morally crush them. This organization will have such power.
The party will be so extreme in its virtue, and so furious in its resolve, that it will scare even the virulently anti-liberty communists and moslems.
But it will still be a friendly, easy-going, low-key group. Or, at least, as much as is possible for an association which is always looking for an intellectual fight -– the bigger and nastier, the better.
It should be a fun organization -– always looking to party and enjoy itself, as it relentlessly self-promotes.
It will be an idealistic group on a mission. But it won't be a "cause" looking for people to "sacrifice" to. It won't be an organization of fanatics and maniacs –- or, at least, hopefully not in any ponderous or overserious way.
How will such an extreme and radical political group gain even minor popularity? Does it have any chance to succeed at all?
And what will be the structure of this unique organziation? How will
it be run and by who?
Hard to say. In large part I plan to make it up as I go along. Should be interesting and fun! However, I hope to be flexible, clever, and fast on my feet.
I also hope to show people how it's done. I'll try to demonstrate how this wildly ambitious, idealistic, and radical organziation can and should function. It won't be easy for me to tell or teach anybody. I mostly just have to show you. But I think I know what I'm doing.
Initially, the party will probably just be on social media and the internet. And, ultimately, it may never venture beyond that –- eventually, or quickly, dying out. We shall see.
But it will be immensely worthy of existence and success. It will deserve to be victorious. And because truth is stronger than ignorance, and good is more powerful than evil, it may indeed triumph!
