A bunch of activists* are putting together the UK leg of what is said to be a global day of protest against ACTA, DEA, CDP/CISPA… basically the whole group of intellectual property supporting but freedom sapping legislative acts in America and the UK: Global day of action and PROTEST against ACTA and as a...

Strategy
Theory is one thing, but to build the free friendly and prosperous society we want we need to persuade everybody to leave everyone else alone. It sounds simple, but how do we persuade them to try it?

The advantages of regional parties
Stuart Heal has caused a stir with his debut contribution concerning the design of a potential new party. Lucian writes: Why start with a national party? I’m not interested in funding a group of five people who want to sit around doing basically nothing except “approving” my local candidate and trying to control...

Conceptual accuracy will not persuade ostriches
Libertarianism is a set of accurate political ideas, and objectivism a set of compatible accurate philosophical ones. Like many I was drawn to both by the fact that they made sense and were consistent. Arguments for libertarianism, and austrian economics in particular, would use day to day examples of individual human decisions that I...

Suffering suffrage
Perry de Havilland is back on his prickliest form over at Samizdata and has taken aim at public sector workers: Tax costs a great deal of money to collect, so surely just making all state sector workers tax-free would save huge amounts of pointless circular administration which is in affect just giving them other...
