During my research I interviewed a guy who said he was a libertarian until he did MDMA and realized that other people have feelings, and that was pretty much the best summary of libertarianism I& #39;ve ever heard
To all the libertarians who follow me: I love you! But.... you should really do MDMA
This is blowing up lol so to be clear: this is just one guy& #39;s story. But it& #39;s not unheard of. M & psychedelics are powerful empathogens so when used alongside learning, travel & openness to new experiences you can be more likely to develop a politics based on empathy & community.
Drugs alone won& #39;t make you a good person, as much as we wanna believe that acid in the water supply would solve everything, if psychedelics automatically turned people into socialists then Silicon Valley wouldn& #39;t be the den of sociopathic venture capitalist ghouls that it is lol
If you& #39;d like to read the research I did this interview for (it was a few years ago), my Master& #39;s thesis "Prohibited Practice: Drug Use, Harm Reduction and Benefit Enhancement in Toronto Rave Culture" is available for download here! https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/etd/3852/

Also, just to be clear: yes, libertarians have the correct position on drugs, and a few other social issues. They aren& #39;t correct about much else though, including their overall ideology.

What they actually need more than MDMA is a historical materialist analysis.
