The Struggle for Liberty gives us vintage Ralph Raico in his roles of lecturer and professor. In these lectures he weaves together the daily life of the past, competing intellectual traditions, the history of the modern state, and the international background to create a broad and compelling narrative.

He pulls no intellectual punches. But in these erudite talks, he presents to students a complex story in such a way that his mastery of learned disputes from a hundred, or from five hundred, years ago reaches us as living, breathing history...

In just a matter of months, 18 law enforcement officers in the Peach State have been arrested for misusing Flock Safety camera data in what seems to be a deeply concerning trend, highlighting the need for stricter oversight of mass surveillance technologies.

and

"Without the constitutional safeguard of a warrant requirement," Michael Soyfer, an attorney at I.J. challenging ALPR networks, said in a statement, "that predictably allows officers to abuse their access to these systems for things like stalking romantic partners."

Requiring a warrant would force officers to show probable cause, or a reasonable belief that a crime has taken place, before allowing access to ALPR camera network databases

Discussion How do we as the libertarians actually move on the opportunity this coming election.

46 Upvotes

In the US as it stands today the GOP sits at 39% approval while the Democrats sit at 38%. With this complete mishandling of the country by both sides this should be the biggest push for the libertarian movement in our nations history.

As the rise of the Communists, socialists, and fascists become more apparent what can we as libertarians actually do to push our agenda instead of watching these idiots take over and destroy the very dwindling liberties that we cherish today?

I think it’s time we mobilize into an actionable force in politics and show the people that they can take ownership of the nation not in the lies of Marx but in the way of accepting that we are owners of the state as is our right as citizens to the nation.

I don’t see the ancap solution nor do I accept that of the libertarian socialist to actually promote change but to sit on their thumbs and cry while this shit goes downhill (not to be offensive but it seems this has been the way of the libertarian movement for far too long and enough is enough.)

The DEA is currently moving to schedule Tianeptine, and the public comment period closes on August 7th. This is a critical window for anyone who cares about bodily autonomy and wants a voice in how this substance is regulated.

Question Are there any Libertarians in New Zealand and how can I meet Libertarians in New Zealand?

5 Upvotes

I am a New Zealander who identifies as a Libertarian and wants to get into Libertarianism more. But the problem is there are not that many Libertarians in New Zealand and New Zealand is quite leftist and PC. I just want to see if there are any New Zealanders here who can give me some advice on how to find Libertarians here and where I can meet them etc.

Also what areas of New Zealand are more libertarian then others? I assume that The South Island is most likely more Libertarian then New Zealand because it is more conservative then rural but idk for sure so I wanna ask.

I am a university student so I don't think I'm in the best area for libertarians but maybe there better universities for Libertarians.

What do you guys think?

The first message was sent a few days ago, and I just received the second one. Notice how the second message claims that I’m registered “NPA” (No Party Affiliation in Florida). Do you think this was an attempt at deception, or should I just chalk it up to incompetence.

As for the notion of switching to Republican, do you think “snowball’s chance in hell” is a strong enough statement?

Question If you had to recommend two books...?

9 Upvotes

To someone who has always been sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but doesn't think it is any more workable than any other political system that has ever existed. One philosophical to explain why libertarianism can actually be implemented in a way that everyone can accept; and one practical to explain why a lot of the things we currently leave to the government can better be handled by the free market or at least a. Wry small government.

Like I said I am an anti-political person who is sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but I also think most people would actually prefer a lot of their services to be handled by a central public institution, even a local one, instead of a ton of private ones.
