| | Rothbard claimed his varying political choices were always tactically based, not compromises with principle.
That said, I usually disagreed with him from his New Left
mania circa 1968 to the reborn Old Rightist circa 1993.
Murray was full of more bullcrap than the Christmas
Goose and he had his gang of Rothbardroids like Liggio,
Resch, Childs, Tuccille, Rockwell, ad nauseum, every bit
as obnoxious as the worst Randroid at ARI or TIA.
I remember a conversation in his apartment on W 88th
in late January, 1969 wherein a very attractive Jewish
gal named Barbara Weiss (no relation to the one at NBI)
asked Murray how he could stand blacks, she had had a lot of bad experiences with them at City College and in her Brooklyn neighborhood, Murray repled : "Niggers !
They are baboons who can be used for revolutionary
purposes." Quote, Unquote and there were more gems like that. Later that spring Murray went on to attack Objectivists and Conservatives who objected to blacks
carrying guns on the Cornell campus as "racists." He
was capable of anything. He was actively trying to recruit
ex-Randians to his cult and he made several converts.
Karl Hess was an even crazier buffoon. He pointed to black teenage packs running in the DC streets and looked at me and said, "They are our Red Guards." Later he said to me , July, 1969 that we should all be in Hanoi and kill all landlords. Ok, the latter I could go for but moving to
Hanoi ?????
Well, I had wet dreams for years afterwards about getting
in Weiss's panties so it was not a total waste.

After Aristotle died, he met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. Given that Aristotle was a before-the-fact Catholic, he could get in as a gentile on special dispensation. He asked to meet Plato, but was told by the virtuous Socrates that, alas, their friend and mutual lover had been consigned to hell - for defaming Socrates and for bearing false witness against him by attributing arguments to Socrates in his Dialogues that Plato knew Socrates had never made.
