The subject of this site is libertarianism: in the broad, poorly defined colloquial sense which includes Objectivism. This is a diverse assortment of philosophy converging from many origins to what Alan Haworth characterizes as "a certain assertively right-wing, pro-free market philosophy."

The purpose of this site is to provide resources for those interested in opposing or learning what's wrong with libertarianism.  The purpose is NOT to convert libertarians to anything else: while I might wish to do that, it is impractical: people are very good at ignoring or misreading what they don't want to hear.
