Join Us at Libertopia!

In case you need a reason to come to San Diego in October… here it is!

Two weeks from now, from October 11-14, the third annual Libertopia festival will be taking place in San Diego at Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn.

A few of us from the blog will be there – me, Gary Chartier, and Roderick Long. And if you’re into the whole “Free Market Anti-Capitalism” thing, then Libertopia is definitely the place for you to be. Roderick and Gary will both be giving talks, as will Sheldon Richman and Charles Johnson. See the full schedule here.

But one does not do Libertopia justice merely by describing its academic talks. In fact, one really doesn’t do Libertopia justice by describing it at all. It is…a spectacle. Rod has some pics. But you just gotta be there to really grok it.

So come on out! And if you see us, please introduce yourself and say “Hi.”

    I see that Stefan Molyneux is there again. He needs to be shut out. He’s an anti-intellectual, and very bad news for the libertarian movement, ESPECIALLY the BHL side of things which focuses on solid, academic, philosophy and economics*. Frankly, he’s an embarrassment.

    *Not to say that non-BHL libertarians don’t, of course.

      Thank you.

      Even before I had good reason for it, I found Molyneux to be strangely repellent. If someone strikes up a conversation about libertarianism by mentioning his name, I usually pretend to be a Maoist or a Neo-Con, just to distance myself from any hint of association.

      This guy is the reason why libertarianism needs to get better at conducting 1930s style cadre purges (if we play it right, he could be our Kirov). Anyone who has doubts on that score, please do yourself a favor and watch the youtube video where he analyzes the movie “Avatar”.

      You will never be tempted to take him seriously again.
