101 Ways to Promote Libertarianism (Part II)

Written by: Murray Rothbard

30. Hold a Libertarian Festival - a “teach-in” on libertarian views on a dozen subjects.

31. Is your university giving an honorary degree to a prominent politician, soldier, or corporation executive? Prepare a research profile on his career from a libertarian perspective. To what extent has he contributed to the preservation and extension of liberty? Or has he used politicial power to restrict, destroy or subvert freedom? Has he plundered the taxpayers to enhance the profits of his corporation? Has he used state-power to avoid the risks of the free market? Has he supported violations of international laws on human rights? Publish your report. Petition for an alternate to be honoured with a degree.

32. Libertarianism is not a cult in which one person or book has all the answers to one’s personal or the world’s problems. It is essentially a philosophic committment to the ideas that voluntarism is the only legitimate ethical basis for human action. Beyond that, libertarians hold a variety of viewpoints on almost every subject. Some are atheists, others Christians; some are pacifists, others will defend their liberty to the death; some are Austrians, others Friedmanites; some anarchists, others liberal limited government advocates; some uphold natural law theory, others deny its validity. Libertarianism is a house with “many mansions” and this should always be made clear to those unfamiliar with the variety of libertarian thought.

33. Interested in radio? Use the college radio station for libertarian propaganda. Start an interview show, a telephone listener response program. Or offer to broadcast one of the taped series of lectures by Murray Rothbard and others available from Books for Libertarians, 422 First St., Washington, D. C 20003.

34. Do you want some professional help in organizing a campus group? Contact The Society for Individual Liberty, RM 304 Empire Building, 13th and Chestnut Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. 19107.

35. Having trouble finding libertarian books in your local bookstore? Send for the catalogues of either Books for Libertarians, 422 First Street SE, Washington, D. C. 20003 or to The Laissez-faire Bookstore, 208A Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012.
