I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
I have meditated on this much. Enough to log back in for this comment.
I'm not so sure that's the good news anymore. They have proven more dedicated to militancy than to republicanism. Perhaps they were let go to easily, without a warning label attached. Watching "progressives" become corrupted by neoconservatism has not been a gentle four year experience for me, at least.
Hi everyone, hope you are well and God Bless you all. I know I'm on the right side here.

..Oo.o~ Rights are Divine ~o.oO..
So, our stance on the LP, not so much national but even state LPs, is pretty much the same: waste of time.
Leverage the GOP and produce more liberty candidates through it? So, we get a few at the federal levels, what then?
I'm trying to decide on how much I want to support my state's LP. I'm trying to ponder how effective it would be vs. trying to stay within the traditional GOP circles...
Edit: It'd be nice if we could push out all neocons and big gov't. types out of the GOP, then that'd establish a truly second party. That would still leave two major factions within it: libertarians and conservatives. Historically, that's been a mixed bag.
This still leaves out voting manipulation as we saw in November, and things like D.C. and Puerto Rico becoming states that will heavily favor Dems. And the general fact that the entire system is broken and the empire is falling...
Which comes back to a question of: how can we politically break out of this cycle? It's very much play the game or walk away. The problem with walking away is the game is still being played behind us...

Welcome to the R3VOLUTION!
The Libertarian Party is a joke. Its all a joke honestly. You (We) can't win.
This is a very smart post (as are all of them in this thread). Hollywood and media, but I repeat myself, set the narrative and mind-control conditioning, which then eventually gives political cover to politicians implementing preplanned changes to society. Climate change and LGBT were cited in the thread and are both perfect examples of it. Tons of "documentaries", usually biased, are promoted for mass consumption for climate change agendas. It started with Gore's bs doc and has continued ever since. It's inserted into sitcom scripts so everyone knows "how important it is". It's simply seeding of thoughts. Same with LGBT. Put it on TV constantly and it'll eventually be accepted by at least half of the population when it's turned into legislation since Hollywood/media has already slowly changed the underlying culture. Peer pressure, injecting thoughts into younger people, normalizing what's otherwise considered different or inaccurate. Anyone remember when Ellen DeGeneres, iirc, kissing another woman on tv was a pearl clutching moment that was called ground-breaking and covered ad nausem by media at the time? Or men kissing on some primetime show?
Control media (culture), control politics.
---------------------
Since the LP doesn't approach politics as a military operation, while the leadership and strategizers of the duopoly do, the LP continues to flounder. It's just very difficult to regiment a party of independent, intelligent, generally anti-authority participants into being order following foot soldiers. It's possible but extremely difficult, especially without a central uniting force (like Dr. Paul was) driving it. In the end, organized politics is little more than glorified cult-building. How does one build and control a "cult" that is full of people who aren't easily brainwashed and don't easily follow orders and then get them to recruit others into the "cult"?

"Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul
"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
Support your state's secession organization(s). Or just move to Texas.

Or buy a small country, from an existing country. The purchase price includes both the land and the legitimacy. This pretty much has never been tried. Closest analogue is Israel (which worked out well for them)

"From the ground up" is one of the three areas of focus for the Mises Caucus (see item #2 in the material quoted below).
THREAD: Support the Mises Caucus
[N]ote that you do not have to join the Libertarian Party in order to support the Mises Caucus.
They also operate as an independent PAC to support libertarian candidates:
What Do My Donations to Mises PAC Go To?
2021 is an exciting year full of opportunities for the cause of liberty. The Mises Caucus will be focusing on 3 things in 2021 that your donations will help us pursue:
1. Issue Coalitions: Shutdowns, Gun Rights, Drug Decriminalization, Criminal Justice Reform and Occupational Licensing are all issues that we have been and will continue to mobilize our organizing teams around at the local and county level in 2021 through lobbying local legislators, knocking doors, and introducing nullification legislation.
2. Local-level Candidates: 2 of our endorsed and supported candidates were able to win their city council races in 2020: Kalish Morrow for Hanford City Council in California and Trisha Butler for Clarksville City Council in Tennessee. We would like to up our fundraising enough to be able to spend $30,000 on local level libertarian candidates across the country and get them over the hump to victory!
3. Events: We are organizing an event in Virginia on Saturday, 10/2/2021 at a yet-to-be disclosed venue. This event will serve as a pilot for our college campus education and recruitment program that, if successful, we will expand into a tour in 2022. This event will feature lectures by Tom Woods, Michael Boldin, Scott Horton, Michael Rectenwald and Maj Toure.
