Is Libertarianism more a mindset or a set of values? Libertarianism is both a mindset and a set of values, emphasizing personal morality and ethics in societal organizations. It advocates universal principles of not causing harm, respecting others’ belongings, and honesty. However, governments often operate on the principle that collective agreement can override these fundamental values. Adopting libertarianism requires a mindset shift, transitioning from established paradigms to individual and community responsibility, fostering empowerment and excitement for the opportunities it unveils. This ideology is illustrated by the “shopping cart theory,” where personal responsibility and market mechanisms work hand in hand to maintain order and address "bad actors." Unlike governments, which often employ force and coercion, libertarianism promotes peaceful, voluntary cooperation, underscoring the significance of individual rights and diverse, non-coercive solutions to societal challenges.

Do I have to be a “pure” libertarian to join? 6:45

1 year geleden6:45

6:45

Do I have to be “pure” to be a libertarian? Can I be a good enough libertarian? In other words, Is it possible to be more libertarian than another person? Libertarianism isn’t a monolithic or rigid ideology; one doesn’t need to adhere to a “pure” form to identify as a libertarian. It's a framework for social organization rooted in the belief that individuals cannot organize complex societies, necessitating a reliance on and trust in fellow humans. The path to embracing libertarianism, marked by relinquishing control, varies for individuals, and old beliefs shaped by prevailing political ideologies can influence this journey. While some might be perceived as "more libertarian" due to a deeper philosophical understanding or advocacy for radical solutions, the ideology accommodates diverse perspectives. Figures like Justin Amash, Murray Rothbard, and Ayn Rand exemplify this diversity within libertarianism. Though ideology is a constant measure for political positions, flexibility is integral for libertarian politicians navigating the art of compromise.

Can you punish a child under the NAP? What do libertarians believe about corporal punishment? Children should be guided and nurtured, not subjected to violence, due to their developing mental and emotional capacities. As noted by Dakota Hensley on WeAreLibertarians.com, children are unique individuals who require the guidance of family and community, emphasizing a collective responsibility. They are not property but young individuals whose form of individualism is distinct from that of adults. When parents fall short in their roles, the community is responsible for stepping in, and prioritizing the child’s welfare and development, potentially through forming a voluntary Child Protective Service. This dual support system shapes the child's worldview and interaction with their surroundings.

How can equal opportunity exist when so many have so much wealth? What would be done about the 1%? 4:36

How can equal opportunity exist when so many have so much wealth? What would be done about the 1%? Equal opportunity, though a sought-after ideal, remains elusive across various governance systems, including libertarianism. No society, regardless of its level of freedom or control, can claim absolute equality of opportunity in aspects beyond just education. In libertarianism, for instance, it’s unfeasible to mandate equal educational opportunities when affluent families have the means to elevate their children’s learning experiences. However, a distinction exists between open societies like the U.S. and closed ones like North Korea, where wealth and power are rigidly centralized. In more open societies, wealth is relatively fluid, with family fortunes often dispersing within a few generations, fostering opportunities across socioeconomic classes. In contrast, closed societies rigidly centralize and retain wealth within a select elite, stifling opportunity and mobility for the broader population.

What should I do if I want to run? What do I need to prepare for? Aspiring political candidates should begin by identifying and understanding the core issues of their specific race, ensuring alignment with the local community's needs. Gaining insights through attending city or county meetings and connecting with political parties at the county or state level is crucial for training and support. The journey to office involves active engagement with party insiders, voters, and media, emphasizing authenticity and relationship building. Resources like Ron Faucheux’s books and the Upward – Libertarian Activism podcast can provide additional guidance for those preparing to step into the political arena with integrity and commitment.

The NAP is the only requirement members of the LP must agree to. Is that a good standard? 7:13

The NAP is the only requirement members of the Libertarian Party must agree to. Is that a good standard? The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) serves as a unifying ethos for members of the Libertarian Party, mandating a collective agreement to abstain from using force to achieve political or social objectives. Although the political landscape is rife with diverse ideologies, the NAP acts as a common ground for Libertarians, distinguishing them from other political affiliations. Instituted by the party's founder, David Nolan, in 1971, this pledge was designed to characterize the party as a non-violent political entity, especially significant at a time when violence was a common political tool. Despite its inherent imperfections, the Libertarian pledge is celebrated for its capacity to instill focus and cohesion among party members, transcending the multifaceted ideologies and beliefs that reside within its ranks.

Why does it seem like there are so many gatekeepers within the movement? 4:50

2 years geleden4:50

4:50

The libertarian movement, still young and relatively small, contends with the appearance of gatekeeping due to its nascent stage and the intimate nature of its networks. Originating mainly in the 1970s, the movement has seen individuals attempt to assert dominance, forming distinct factions and perceived gatekeeping. Such divisions can sometimes hinder unity, exacerbated by the personal relationships within a smaller group where critiques can be direct and personal. However, gatekeeping holds limited power in the digital age, with easier access to diverse voices. Platforms like We Are Libertarians (WAL) aim for inclusivity, valuing all contributions to the movement. Depersonalizing criticism and fostering a more inclusive perspective can strengthen unity within the movement.

Is it imperative to have a moral society for libertarianism to work? 5:15

2 years geleden5:15

5:15

Is it imperative to have a moral society for libertarianism to work? Or will liberty make society function better? Libertarianism, rooted in the Nonaggression Principle (NAP), advocates for a moral society built on respect, and non-coercion, echoing the elementary morality of respecting others’ rights and properties. However, the foundation of government often contradicts these principles, as seen in systems like social security, which involves a forced redistribution of wealth. As private institutions diminish in influence, the government’s expansive role fosters a society where politics and power overshadow morality, leading to divisive and coercive practices. Given this dynamic, the expectation for society to organically evolve into a “more moral” state under the current political system is implausible. Liberty, as championed by libertarianism, underscores the necessity of upholding moral principles to facilitate a society that is not only functional but also just and equitable.

Can someone be a racist and be a libertarian? 3:47

2 years geleden3:47

3:47

Can you be a Nazi or racist or nationalist and be a libertarian? While it is theoretically possible for someone to identify as both a libertarian and a racist, nationalist, or Nazi, these ideologies are inherently contradictory. Libertarianism is anchored in rejecting force as a means for political and social change and upholds individualism and individual rights. In contrast, ideologies like racism and nationalism often embrace force and collectivism to impose their beliefs. Libertarians emphasize the dignity of all individuals and seek to protect minority groups from the tyranny of the majority. In a free society supported by libertarian principles, financial incentives encourage peaceful cooperation among diverse groups, reducing the prevalence of ideologies that rely on division and force. Thus, while one might hold racist or nationalist beliefs personally, acting on or promoting such beliefs through force is antithetical to core libertarian values.

America is the only modern country without government run healthcare. Is it time for us to get with the times? 24:26

America is the only modern country without government run healthcare. Is it time for us to get with the times? The American healthcare system is outdated and expensive, yet "getting with the times" doesn't necessarily mean adopting government-run healthcare. High costs coupled with subpar service quality are exacerbated by regulations, tax laws, and federal mandates, as noted by Ron Paul in "Liberty Explained". Drawing a parallel with the evolution of cell phones, Paul underscores the rapid innovation achieved through free-market dynamics, something potentially stifled under centralized planning. The comparison extends to car insurance, a sector experiencing less government intervention and more consumer choice, fostering competitive pricing. Centralized control in health care, akin to government-controlled car insurance, could lead to inflated costs and restricted autonomy. The pandemic illustrated the perils of centralization, with political wrangling over resource distribution and regulatory bottlenecks impeding response efficiency. Thus, modernizing healthcare necessitates empowering individual choice and innovation rather than embracing a centrally planned economy.

What would education look like in a libertarian society? In a libertarian society, education wouldn't adhere to a one-size-fits-all model but would instead be characterized by diversity, adaptability, and innovation tailored to meet the individual needs of students. Unhindered by government monopolies, educational offerings would be more dynamic and responsive, fostering an environment where both teachers and students could reach their full potential. Traditional classroom settings would evolve, and alternative educational pathways, facilitated by internet access and technological advancement, would flourish. Parents, teachers, and communities would collaboratively shape educational content and methods, ensuring they are relevant and effective. Although education would not be compulsory, the innate drive for learning and societal norms would continue to motivate educational participation, fostering a system where intrinsic motivation and personalized educational experiences reign supreme.

Is my vote on a third-party candidate wasted? 21:16

Is my vote on a third-party candidate wasted? Voting for a third-party candidate isn't a wasted vote but an expression of one's genuine preferences and a refusal to compromise personal principles for the sake of supporting the lesser of two evils. Both major parties perpetuate the narrative of their indispensability, often urging voters to set aside their misgivings for "crucial" elections. However, a vote for a third-party candidate can signal a demand for better choices and catalyze significant political change. Every vote counts, especially in showing that there is a market for diverse political ideas beyond the duopoly. Moreover, the electoral college and gerrymandering often diminish the impact of individual votes, so voting third-party can be a potent means of voicing dissent and advocating for true representation. Each vote for a third party amplifies the message of the need for systemic change and diverse representation in politics.

Can the Libertarian Party "win"? 14:10

Can the Libertarian Party "win"? Winning for the Libertarian Party extends beyond clinching presidential elections. Although the odds of a Libertarian candidate securing the most electoral votes in a presidential race are slim, the party leverages this platform to disseminate its principles to a wider audience. The national objective of the Libertarian Party, as a minority party, is to influence the policies of the major parties to enhance individual freedoms and constrain governmental intrusion. Local politics is a vital frontier where Libertarian candidates have more substantial opportunities to secure victories and demonstrate their governing capabilities, as evidenced by many Libertarians currently holding office. Furthermore, the party's influence is observable when policies proposed by Libertarian candidates are adopted by winning candidates from major parties. The transition of figures like Justin Amash and Laura Ebke to the Libertarian Party is also considered a victory, as it amplifies the party's visibility and acceptance, underscoring the power of social proof in politics.

Why Can't a Libertarian Party Candidate get into the Presidential Debates? 12:30

5 years geleden12:30

Why Can't a Libertarian Party Candidate get into the Presidential Debates? The exclusion of Libertarian Party candidates from presidential debates stems from the control exerted by the Bipartisan Committee on Presidential Debates (CPD), which is explicitly designed to favor the two major political parties. Established after the 1980 election, when third-party candidates garnered significant votes, the CPD has engaged in practices that undermine the inclusion of third-party voices, such as selling sponsorships to major corporations and maintaining opaque operations. Despite its tax-exempt status, the CPD doesn't fulfill the requisite non-profit functions and has been known to share debate questions with candidates in advance. The committee's board comprises individuals with ties to the government, corporations, and the two major parties, further entrenching the exclusionary practice. Public pressure on corporate sponsors has proven to be a potential avenue to challenge this exclusion and promote fairer election debates.

What is The "NAP" or Non-Aggression Principle? The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is foundational to libertarianism, advocating against initiating or threatening force or interference with an individual, their property, or liberty. Though interpretations vary among libertarians, the core ethos is respect for others’ rights and property, encapsulated in the axiom “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff.” This principle distinguishes libertarianism from pacifism by permitting forceful defense against aggression. Mary Ruwart, in her book "Healing Our World," elaborates on this as the Good Neighbor Policy, emphasizing honesty, tolerance, and respect, alongside accountability for any violations of these ethical standards, encapsulating the essence of libertarianism.

How does one begin the road to becoming politically active? Embarking on political activism is as simple as taking the first step. There's no prerequisite for extensive political science knowledge; hands-on experience is often the best educator. Begin by identifying a candidate whose values align with yours and volunteer for their campaign. Initial tasks may include envelope stuffing, door knocking, distributing yard signs, or phone banking. Be cautious of taking on overwhelming responsibilities to avoid burnout. Engaging in campaign work should be a learning and contributory experience rather than a source of frustration. Utilize resources like the "Upward – Libertarian Activism" podcast to aid your journey into political activism.

Ronald Reagan began a long side-career of public speaking as his acting career closed out. He traveled across the country meeting Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce and any other civic-minded local groups. This continued and intensified during his service as the General Electric spokesperson while hosting their sponsored television series. "The Speech" was delivered in various forms and to different audiences as each word was honed, measured and memorized. During the 1964 Presidential campaign, Republican party officials in California, who knew Reagan's powerful message and delivery, asked him to film a speech on behalf of the Republican candidate, Barry Goldwater. The speech was aired on October 27, 1964 and it was electrifying. Donations to the Republican party and candidates increased dramatically. The Republican Party took note and they targeted Reagan as a candidate from that point forward. He agreed in 1966 to run for Governor of California. He won two terms, and eventually won the Presidency. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
