Last calendar week Friday, Steve Bannon spoke inward Anaheim at the autumn California GOP Convention. (SEE: Steve Bannon California GOP Convention Full Speech Oct 20th, 2017)
During his speech, he told the crowd that he wanted to
hold together an alliance betwixt his anti-Republican institution motion in addition to libertarians (among others) that began amongst the motion that got Donald Trump elected president:
The consulting class, the lobbyists, the K street crowd, the donor cast in addition to the politicians they own, they receive got taken this Earth inward a very, really unsafe — very, really unsafe — direction.But it is hard to run across why libertarians in addition to Bannon's populist motion should maintain an alliance when most pro-Trump libertarians during the 2016 presidential effort are disappointed inward the management Trump has gone every bit president.
Donald Trump, the whole campaign, in addition to this is why it had to last a coalition aginst the Republican establishment. It had to last limited-government conservatives, it had to last libertarians, it had to last populists, it had to last economical nationalists, it had to last evangelical Christians.
If you lot receive got the wisdom, the strength, the tenacity to handgrip that coalition together, nosotros volition regulation for l to 75 years. And it's non going to last easy. Not everybody agrees on everything, right? Grover Norquist, I don't know where Grover is hither tonight. Grover, where are you, brother? Grover Norquist, i of the greatest guys on taxes around. Grover in addition to I don't handgrip on everything inward policy, right?
The economical nationalists don't handgrip amongst the libertarians, the libertarians don't handgrip amongst the express regime conservatives. Often times nosotros receive got a lot of dissimilar opinions on unusual policy. But nosotros handgrip on plenty stuff that nosotros combine together.
If nosotros create non unite, in addition to unite non only inward campaigning but inward governing, in addition to empathize nosotros are going to receive got to position certainly differences aside to teach things done.
Indeed, during the speech, Bannon listed a serial of policy positions he supported, which are horrific policy positions from a libertarian perspective. He listed every bit Trump accomplishments:
The decertification of the Islamic Republic of Iran deal.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Trump supplement to the ‘17 budget of thirty billion dollars to upgrade our military.
And he lied most the scam Trump taxation "reform":
We had Secretary Mnuchin come upward out in addition to reinforce this is going to last a middle-class taxation cut, in addition to the entrepreneurs are going to teach almost the same taxation cutting that the big corporations are going to get, only to reinforce it. SEE:Trump Says He May Have to Institute a New Higher Top Tax Rate for Wealthy.And he came out every bit an economic nationalist, past times which he agency an anti-free merchandise nationalist:
Economic nationalism is non what’s going to drive us apart, it's what’s going to bind us together...An economical nationalism, looking out for our beau men to brand certainly that manufacturing jobs that nosotros allowed become to Asia come upward dorsum to the U.S. of A. of America.Of course, this mercantilist perspective is only economical ignorance. see: Why Donald Trump Never Washed the Windows at Trump Tower.
Bannon also came out against working immigrants:
[W]e take away bold ideas. And non only quoting the affair of [unintelligible], I hateful bold, actionable ideas. Ideas similar Donald Trump ran on. Like construct the wall, protect our southern border, cut down legal immigration, trammel HB1 [sic] visas, because inward restricting HB1 visas the Hispanic in addition to dark kids tin mail away teach into applied scientific discipline schools in addition to hence they tin mail away become to Silicon Valley in addition to operate because they are citizens of the U.S. of A. of America.What an economical ignoramus. He seems to last working amongst the Lump of Labor Fallacy as a guiding principle.
Notice, at that spot is nix most addressing the cutting off of regime back upward to immigrants. It's all most keeping them out---even the workers. which is totally idiotic. SEE: The Problem amongst Stephen Miller.
So what exactly, Steve, is the footing of an alliance between libertarians in addition to your movement? Throw out the crony institution in addition to supplant it amongst a bunch of economical ignoramuses who hollo upward they tin mail away intervene all over the economy?
No thanks.
And spell spending most of his speak most the necessity for economical nationalism, he took this unusual swipe at Austrian schoolhouse economics:.
Economic nationalism is non what’s going to drive us apart, it's what’s going to bind us together.I actually don't hollo upward he knows what the hell he is talking about. In his feel of the term economical nationalism, is non the same affair every bit costless marketplace capitalism. He is non a costless marketplace capitalist. And Austrian schoolhouse economic science is the foundation, the bedrock of costless marketplace capitalism.
We've had a really unsafe affair come upward every bit conservatives over the final thirty or forty years — only some other affair I know everybody inward this room is non going to handgrip with. This sort of Austrian School of economics, this sort of Ayn Rand, you lot know, where everything was most the economy. What was most of import 6 weeks earlier the election — gotta run across what the unemployment charge per unit of measurement is, it’s gross domestic product every bit everything.
We are non an economy. We are a country. We receive got a social stuff in addition to a civic responsibility. By the way, I'm a costless marketplace capitalist, every bit most of you lot are, right? That’s the underpinnings of our society.
