The unmourned end of libertarian politics

Michael Lind announces the unmourned end of libertarian politics:

The most epochal event in world politics since the cold war has occurred — and few people have noticed. I am not referring to the conflict in Iraq or Lebanon or the campaign against terrorism.

It is the utter and final defeat of the movement that has shaped the politics of the US and other western democracies for several decades: the libertarian counter-revolution.

I, for one, welcome our new big-government Republican overlords.
