[Mini-podcast] TrumpCareis Proof the GOP is Socialist


Repeal TrumpCare! This ObamaCare Lite bill is all the evidence conservatives should need that the GOP is socialist and the GOP's leaders and elected officials are betraying America AGAIN. Also, libertarians who support the Trump administration in its growing government faster than marijuana grows in Humboldt need to seriously rethink their worldview.

[Mini-podcast] National Capitalism (Nazism 2.0) is Carp on a Stick


The Nat-Cs are coming to physically remove you in the night! The same people who identify with "national capitalism" are usually the same people who say "It's the Roman salute, not the Nazi salute!" The Helicopter Libertarians strike again, and they want to trick you into growing the Trump state.

National Capitalism is simply Nazism 2.0--and this National Capitalism fairy tale is either the domain of racists and fascists with slightly better economics than the NSDAP, or racists and fascists too spineless to be true to themselves and admit they're Nazi sympathizers.

[Mini-podcast] American Stalin: Joe Steele in the Age of Obama and Trump




Conservatives compared Obama to Stalin and now liberals compare Trump to Hitler. What if there was a little but of truth to both? What if the American Presidency just has too much power? What would happen in America if the President was a lot MORE like Stalin? Harry Turtledove gives us a glimpse of that America and helps us ask questions about the power of the leviathan state.

[Mini-podcast] What was the 'Free Libertarian Party'?




What was the Free Libertarian Party of 1972, and what made it different from the Libertarian Party that was founded in 1971? 

"In 1974, two years after the founding of the Free Libertarian Party, Mr. Tuccille ran for governor of New York. He hoped to win the 50,000 votes that would give the party a permanent place on the ballot, a first step toward becoming the third major political party in the United States..."

It turns out New York has some interesting political history that overlaps and even predates the Libertarian Party!  Learning about the Free Libertarian Party was a warm welcome for a Libertarian nerd like me.

[Mini-podcast] Cuban libertarian activists sent to the Gulag!




Two Cuban libertarian activists were arrested by the Cuban secret police, detained for weeks, and are now imprisoned in the Gulag! Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velazquez Visea must be freed from the Melena II labor prison. Herrera was targeted for his "dissident activities" of getting people together in a room to discuss limited government, civil liberties, and free markets. Velazquez had the misfortune of being with Herrera when both men were arrested by the secret police. 'We are subjected to a twelve-hour work day in the sun, melting and raising blocks or working in the field,' said a labor convict at the Melena II prison's collective farm...

[Mini-podcast] Trump Supporters are the Sheep from 'Animal Farm'



Yes, you read that right! Pro-Trump libertarians like how Donald Trump called out the media for being biased. Cool, I can appreciate that too. But what do they call Fox News, Breitbart, and Info Wars?  The Republicans and libertarians who support Trump are the sheep from Manor Farm.  Zach explains what makes Donald Trump's election and first 100 days so similar to an episode from the George Orwell novel.

[Mini-podcast] What the Libertarian Party Won in the 2016 Election




Many Libertarians feel demoralized after the general election.  One of the two authoritarian demagogues was going to win no matter what.  The most painful part is that our national ticket couldn’t clinch that 5% (and even people on the Gary Johnson campaign are unhappy with Governor Bill Weld).  Regardless of the disappointment, LP Nevada still applauds Governor Gary Johnson for bringing the Libertarian Party up to new milestones and for carrying forward the message of our platform.  Here are some of the victories the Libertarian Party won this election.
