Over a decade ago, I wrote an article published at Mises.org on the libertarian immigration conundrum. The “conundrum” was the seemingly unbridgeable differences between, if not contradictory views of, the two libertarian answers to the immigration question. The point of the article was to show that these answers are more compatible than most libertarians tend to think; both, in fact, espouse the non-aggression principle, but they emphasize different aspects of it.
Since then, however, the debate has become more polarized and it has more or less caused a rift within the libertarian movement.
Prije više od decenije, napisao sam članak objavljen u Mises.org o libertarijanskoj imigracijskoj zagonetki. “Zagonetka” su bile naizgled nepremostive razlike između, ako ne i suprotstavljajući stavovi, dva libertarijanska pogleda na imigracijsko pitanje. Poenta teksta je bila da se pokaže da su ova stajališta više kompatibilna nego što većina libertarijanaca imaju tendenciju da misle; oba, u stvari, zastupaju princip neagresije, ali ističu njegove različite aspekte.
Od tada, međutim, debata je postala više polarizovana i više ili manje je izazvala raskol unutar libertarijanskog pokreta.
“It is that it’s the system that’s wrong, and that we’ve got to have a system that the right way to accomplish these objectives is to have a system which doesn’t depend on whether you happen to have the right man pushing the buttons at the right time.” Milton Friedman, in an excerpt from Free to Choose documentary series, episode 3: Anatomy of a Crisis.
“Moje mišljenje je da sistem nije dobar, i trebamo da imamo sistem u kojem pravi način za postizanje ciljeva ne zavisi od toga da li imamo pravog čovjeka za komandnom pločom koji će pritiskati dugmadi u pravo vrijeme.” - Milton Friedman.
