I used to be a Libertarian, convinced by the whole idea of "government that governs least is the government that governs best" or whatever. But in that I was also exposed to the US Founder theories about government being a kind of "necessary evil." After awhile I came to realize that, yeah maybe government is a "necessary evil" but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try and make that necessity something can work for us rather than against us. Which helped me see that Libertarianism is basically a grift to let wealth-hoarders maintain their addiction at the expense of everyone else. So yeah, bring on the Hawai'i Mamdani! I mean, the whole ahupua'a concept is based on equal distribution of resources and goods!
