Left wing blogs

[Max B. Sawicky]

I've encountered some libertarians whose notion
of the government's role stops at establishing
the legal basis for open source/free software.
Aside from that, they want to be left alone.

We should also note that the war is causing
libertarians to morph into raving advocates
of the national security state and U.S.
imperialism in general.  They only dislike
the non-'security' parts of the Gov.

One example is a guy named Eric Raymond,
prominent among OS/FS types and just itching
for a U.S. onslaught on the entire Middle East.
He's also got one of the more prominent blogs.

This isn't even remotely true. Richard Stallman identifies as a left
libertarian, but "open source/free software" is not "dominated" by
left-libertarian leaning people.
