Why I Left the Left

I spent nearly a decade of my young life in 'hard' left movements. At the core of my ideology was a burning desire for liberty, and an intense distrust of the state. In my last dark days with the left, I pleaded for objectivity, reason, rationale, only to have my requests fall on deaf ears. The last actors in the space took to the streets to smash Starbucks' windows and foolishly posture when they should have been pleading with their peers to reconsider a truly anti-statist perspective.
