Did the adoption of a soft form of fascism send healthcare into decline? An examination of legislation in the 20th century charted against medical access.
California Volunteers for Johnson Weld 2016 have quite a story to tell. Two of the hardest working Libertarian Party's field organizers share their secrets.
Not just a perennial wacky satirical Presidential Candidate, Vermin Supreme is a true showman, a professional; and as I have had the pleasure to find out, he is serious about his mission.
The Libertarian Party in Southern California Holds its Seventh Annual Conference The Libertarian Party Southern California Regional Conference has been a fun and fantastic experience for seven years running. This coming year's tickets have finally gone on sale and organizers are encouraging stalwart attendees to get tickets now. No speakers have been announced yet but early purchase tickets have been made available to Libertarian activists ahead of time to allow pre-purchase. There is some concern this year that the conference may out-sell it's venue with some big names. Last month internet sensation Vermin Supreme did a fund raiser for the...
We need people who want to join in the circus that is an insurgent movement, we need to make it fun, and we need to make it effective in one thing: Winning people over to liberty and building our base.
Perhaps moving voluntary law forward in the real world could be promoted as a solution for larger more generalized rules in larger looser organizations like a coalition groups or other non-profit oriented organizations that have more distributed, organic, non-hierarchical structures.
The privatization of public service is a libertarian standard. In some circumstances. Private police seems difficult to achieve in places like South Central where the mean streets are already a rule.
GMO foods and products do raise a few ethical questions that may have more than one principled answer. Join me in the search for some more or less bright line answers to some very sticky questions regarding GMO products and the more or less ethical actions some are using them for.
The ALIVE FREE HAPPY Libertarians in Southern California hold a great conference each year and the next one is coming up on the 31st of January. 2015 will be the 6th year they do this event and if you want a feeling for its flavor, all you need to know is that this particular bunch of Libertarians refer to themselves colloquially as the Party Party. While still very erudite, their events are a lot of fun, high energy and inspiring. Their forum concentrates on local activism and networking. For my happily shared and biased opinion, the So Cal Conference always has a great lunch, a terrific...
Ernest Hancock of Freedom's Phoenix is, in my opinion, one of the freedom movements greatest activists. I can say that I was personally inspired by his work on multiple fronts. It seems to me that when I look at where the rubber meets the road in the freedom movement, there you find Ernie. Here Earnest Hancock is speaking at the Southern California Libertarian Party Conference in 2014 on the importance of activism and education with the right spirit. http://youtu.be/smd8Ia-jN1k http://youtu.be/--a5R38U1YY BTW the So Cal Conference is a pseudo counter convention focused on activism held by the San Bernardino County LP. 2015 will...
What image of a free society do you keep in your mind's eye that moves you? What do you want out of liberty that you believe in it and that motivates you to advocate for it?
I like the way Robert Anton Wilson looked at conspiracies and I have accepted a truth for myself that I thought I might share. I find that it is never worth trying to track such things nor to try and intuit greater meaning or secret sinister purpose from events of already great evil or the machinations of power. Here is how I see it:1. Conspiracies exist. They are everywhere. Wherever two or more meet with purpose, there is conspiracy. In some abstract but effective way we are all conspiring right now on this fora. Here is to our triumph!2. People with power...
I was struck when a comment was made on a forum I frequent that in effect said that the blood that ran in the streets after the French revolution was an expression of anarchy. It is a statement that really ground my teeth because the truth of the matter is, the mass murder that followed the deposing of King Louie XVI was the opposite of anarchy. The use of the guillotine and hangings from lamposts in France were lawful tools used by Maximillion Robspierre and his merry band of Montegnards during "The Terror". FAR FAR FAR from lawless, The Mountaineers...
Answer this won't you please: Is it worth involving oneself in a political party? Is there more moral hazard in voting, or in not voting?These questions and their rhetorical cousins are ones I see a lot of in our freedom fighting dialogues and forum wars. Minarchism versus Anarchism was (and still is) the deepest factional divide in our movement as can be seen in many unfortunate events within nearly all of our corporeal organizations.I think the whole thing is silly - as in completely ridiculous, destructive and divisive. We libertarians deserve to treat each other better - I mean it...
The young and energetic activists of the San Bernardino County Libertarian Party had a great time this Labor Day Weekend assisting local residents taking the Worlds Smallest Political Quiz. The event was a music festival hosted by local young entrepreneurs in the city of San Bernardino. "This was a wonderful opportunity to engage our neighbors and invite them out to our local meetings," said Jason Wu who serves the county party as its Youth Outreach Director. "We had a lot of really high quality contacts." Along with an opportunity to explore their political alignment, libertarians offered attendees of the festival "Alive...
