Ron Paul, the Mises Institute et al have done a lot to spread the ideas of Liberty around the world, precisely, accurately and consistently.

The American government and its cronies on the other hand has contributed a great deal in making people around the world distrust, misunderstand and hate the idea of Liberty. It's the State that people ought to be hating. Not the ideas it falsely claims to support.

The government is not its people.

And the people are not their government.

Freedom has very little to do with democracy and everything to do with natural rights, self-ownership, natural justice and the non-aggression principle.

To think otherwise is brainwashed doublethink.

Liberty is not an American idea. Neither is it Christian or Western. It can be understood and embraced by any reasoning individual.

I can comfortably embrace my own religion and culture while being a libertarian. Because unlike socialism or nationalism, libertarianism is not an ideology that requires the creation of an ideal 'libertarian man'. It's just a legal theory about where violence is appropriate and not appropriate in social relations.

It doesn't require the spread of a state's 'soft power' or 'hard power'. It doesn't require a power vacuum to be filled by an entity that contradicts its principles. It does not require bombing millions of innocent civilians.
