Annoying HP with a long history of meddling in the libertarian movement. From his obsessive attempt to crash an Ayn Rand event at Brooklyn College, to his subsequent immersion and break from the Objectivist movement, to his bizarre (and collectivist) beliefs that women and blacks aren't productive, to his
abortion of a speech at Paulstock where he claimed that libertarians can be pro-life and support abortion because the fetus is simply "a squatter being evicted."
Oh, and while he opposes involuntary slavery and only defends "voluntary" slavery (which is impossible but I'll spare Atlas my philosophical diatribe because I think everyone else agrees with me on this fairly obvious one), he described the slavery in the deep south as being the following:
Ron Paul is apparently close to him and I'm sure it is a lot of fun theorizing and taking concepts to their logical extremes, but I never once heard Ron Paul, or for that matter, even Ayn Rand advocate literally anything close to the absurdity that Block does. HP. Big time.
Edit: Ironically, he was on the track team with Bernie Sanders in High School. Pretty sure Ron Paul was also a track star in his youth. I thought track/cross country was only a recent athletic arrival in high schools.
