I define here a movement which I will call the bourgeois vanguard.
Bourgeois ideology generally believes: that the means of production should be privately owned; that the profit motive is fundamental to human cooperation; that the intrusions of government upon industry impoverish society; that violations of property, including foremost the coercion of human persons, are rarely, if ever, justified; that behavior which does not violate property (or coerce human persons) should usually, if not always, be tolerated.
The bourgeois vanguard believes, furthermore: that so-called intellectual property is not truly property, and is generally harmful; that reason is embodied primarily in verbal logical deduction, and only secondarily in empirical science and mathematics; that the methodology of government-funded research is always, a priori, highly suspect; that animal meat and hydrocarbon fuels are commendable constituents of modern life; that it is possible for bitcoin to become a major global money, and that it would be good if it did; that religions can generally be given a liberal interpretation, and that it is good when they are given one.
At the moment, the latter meet mostly in groups dedicated to one of their particular interests. But I notice that these groups have many members in common. The demographic has not been fully explored yet.
