Summary

This quote, attributed to American novelist, Gore Vidal, expresses a satirical viewpoint on the libertarian movement in the United States. Vidal perceives it as both quaint and touching, suggesting an endearing naivety or innocence. Moreover, by asserting that this movement believes Americans are not sufficiently selfish, he insinuates that libertarian ideas could potentially promote an individualistic and self-centered society. Vidal's words aim to present a somewhat ironic critique of this particular political ideology.
