While eyeballing through LewRockwell.com (street name: L Rock) I happenstanced upon an article by Brad Edmonds advocating the frequent use of neologisms, which is an old invented word that means inventing new words. I've always been in favor of performing neologistics whenever new words are needed. And they are especially needed in the libertarian milieu.
Years ago, for example, libertarians noted the lack of distinguishing features between the two major political parties. Both parties are authoritarian, with disagreements being limited to minor details such as which of our Constitutional rights ought to be violated during the current session. And with the size of government growing ever bigger no matter which party holds power, Republicans and Democrats came to be seen as merely the left and right wings of the same party.
In attempting to express this concept with a simple, single appellation, libertarians concocted such variables as Democans, Repocrats and, my personal preference, Republicrats for America's one-party political system.
