Ben Lowrey interviews Kal Molinet

For those who don’t know, Ben Lowrey is a prolific and enthusiastic video blogger from the UK who only fully discovered and embraced the ideas of voluntarysim in the last year. Since then, however, he’s been spreading the message all guns blazing and interviewing (and being interviewed by) a host of interesting figures from the [...]

Tom Woods delivers the speech he’d like to give to the nation

Tom woods delivers a speech aimed at people who haven’t heard libertarian ideas before. The speech he would like to deliver to the nation if he had the platform. As usual it’s articulate, passionate, sometimes mesmerising. He doesn’t have the platform without us so let’s spread this far and wide. Send it to anybody you [...]

Stefan Molyneux debates Brazillian Statist Vladimir Safatle

The Machinery Of Freedom: Illustrated summary

Bitbutter continues to cement his reputation as the Libertarian movement’s best artist out there with this lovely “illustrated summary” of a classic David. D. Friedman speech. I can see this becoming the video to link people to when you first bring up the anarcho-capitalist ideas of private law and police. Minarchists spring to mind but [...]

Edgar the Exploiter

Great follow up to the brilliant George Ought To Help video. Extremely well made piece of animation and a great choice for pointing people towards if they’re arguing for the minimum wage:

Why Thieves Hate Free Markets

I liked this video a lot: “Many believe that market economies create a dog eat dog environment full of human conflict and struggle. To Prof. Aeon Skoble, the competition in markets does not create conflict, but rather, encourages people to cooperate with one another for mutual benefit…” Want to join in libertarian discussion with other [...]
