Is the Tea Party Libertarian,Authoritarian, or Something Else?*

Objective

Research on the Tea Party finds that both libertarian and authoritarian attitudes drive support for this movement, but political scientists lack a satisfactory explanation of this contradiction.

Methods

Factor analysis of nine attitudes from the 2012 American National Election Study is used to explore whether statism and moral traditionalism are intercorrelated on a dimension distinct from attitudes toward government; regression analysis is used to test if these distinct dimensions help to explain support for the Tea Party.

Results

Controlling for several competing explanations, the multiplicative interaction of anti‐government and morally statist ideological factors is shown to be a predictor of Tea Party support, especially among conservatives.

Conclusion

Our results suggest the Tea Party movement is in part driven by what Nietzsche called “misarchism,” an ideological mixture of moralism, statism, and libertarianism he first observed in Herbert Spencer.

“无妻会 宣言”舆壶公驳论

世界之大,无奇不有。30年代汉口有一位樊会计师,因得不到美满幸福家庭,竟异想天开发起组织一个“无妻会”,闻讯响应,先后加入的人,居然不在少数。 查这“无妻会”的宣言,很有几句痛快淋漓的话,似有当年骆宾王讨武氏檄文之味。宣言道:“妇女之上焉者,狃于新潮,庞然自大,骄奢淫佚,无法无天,金尽情尽,朝结夕离。下焉者不识不知,专事依赖,结婚数载,膝下累累,终岁辛苦艰难,犹虞冻馁,忧于室家,多屈枉死,是洞房花烛之夕,即宣布死刑之初。普通妇女心性,每多乖戾恣睢,尚虚荣,耽安乐,局量褊浅,猜忌性成,自私自利,绝少真实永久感情,男性与之接近,结果必趋失败,故宣尼有难养之叹,庄子有鼓盆之歌,西谚谓男女一入情网,即失其自由之神;
