Free everything for everyone, to be paid for by taxing the resident billionaires. And 1,000 bucks an hour for minimum wage. Let’s do it!

- Met with one other of the “Old Drunken Old Irrvelivents” [Facebook, Spreely], at the Frontier Restaurant [2400 Central SE, Albuquerque, New Mexico] — we discussed the current [improving] state of affairs of both of the FLPNM and the LPNM Mises Caucus, and possible corrective measures.

Small-l libertarians are people who do their best stick to the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) in their personal behavior, advocate for the NAP, etc.
Big-L Libertarians are people who have a membership card from the LNC or a state affiliate of same.
My gripe is that there are quite a few Big-L types who seem to think that the NAP is either a big joke, or a marketing gimmick that can be tossed aside when it becomes inconvenient.
My preference is that those Big-L types with public speaking roles (candidates, officers, etc.) be small-l libertarians before being put into public speaking roles.

From the article (last paragraph) —
“Libertarians need to decide which side of the gap they are going to end up on with these issues. Extreme government overreach is a major problem in this country, yet losing track of the morality of the country in the name of radical individualism is just as dangerous.”
It seems to me that the author is saying “If you’re not with me, as in explicitly on my side, you’re against me.”

In 2016, Johnson just about completely blew off the NAP, and Mr Bill the Original Weldist displayed (to me, at least) ZERO evidence that he cared about the NAP in the slightest. So neither one of them qualified as a small-l libertarian, by the standard I specified above.

Except that Prohibition wasn’t fully ended, as after it was “repealed,” alcohol that wasn’t sanctioned by the Political Classholes (“licensed,” “taxed,” etc.) was (and still is) “illegal.”
“Bootlegging” is still listed as a “felony”-level offense in the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (under Chapter 66, I think — will have to look it up later).
And now marijuana is also “legal” (if sanctioned by the Political Classholes).

This coming from a guy who swore to support and uphold that Constitution (and signed a written copy of that oath!) and is always ready and willing to use that Constitution as his personal Charmin roll (especially the #2a Second Amendment) when it suits him.

Issue 1,185 of L. Neil Smith’s THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE is now up
L. Neil Smith’s THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE
— An International Journal of Opinion —
Issue 1,185, December 4, 2022
https://ncc-1776.org/
THIS ISSUE’S MOTTO: Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. — William Pitt the Younger
THE WEEKLY CARTOON: CNN: Elon Musk could threaten free speech by literally allowing people to speak freely.
A Request for Help
Jim Davidson, a long-time contributor to TLE, is currently awaiting trial on extended traffic related charges. See his early October article on the status of his case, [Due Process of Law] (https://ncc-1776.org/tle2022/tle1176-20221002-05.html). Since then he has retained an attorney. The attorney usually charges $2,000 to start; there may be more, possibly $10,000.
Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.
Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more.
https://givesendgo.com/G3DA3
Donations will show up as “Rule of Law,” and will be directed to an account in Cathy’s name which will then be provided to counsel.
Thank you
Yours in Liberty,
Rylla and Cathy Smith
Co-Publishers, L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

I’m not mentioning any names, but I’m gonna take care of those who take their time to read this post. Please, in memory of someone who died or fought cancer or is fighting cancer copy and paste then write DONE! This has a very special meaning for me today! DONE!
At the request of a friend I copied and pasted this. It resonates with me, as well. A good many of my FB friends offered prayers and good thoughts and positive energy when I had a friend diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and he subsequently passed away. I offer those same thoughts and positive energy for anyone else in similar circumstances.

Is there a subsection of this Discord server that’s specific to New Mexico? I don’t see anything for just us on the right-hand sidebar.
I’d rather avoid having to keep scrolling past the stuff from other states.

I edited the LPNM newsletter from August 2003 (4 pages — https://mikewb1971.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/nml-2003-0708.pdf) til about 2013 (production from 2010 to 2013 was spotty at best). By 2008 and 2009 I was putting out a ten-page issue every month (https://mikewb1971.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/nml-2009-08.pdf).
Basically, I would solicit submissions (that was quite often a dry well !), then scour the web for material that would fit, both in terms of compatibility of message and of available space.
Each issue would generally take about 8 hours in total to compile.
After the issue was completed, I would email it off to Ron Bjornstad (Ron moved to northeast Texas to be closer to family after the 2017 invasion of LPNM by Cain, Mahon and their patisies, which turned into the Luchini Gang) or Bill Koehler (Bill passed away in August of this year from cancer), and they would print it off and get it mailed out to the membership via USPS. At the same time, I would send the PDF via email to members for whom I had email addresses.

The point of the pre-joining questions for the Facebook group is to try to screen out some of the out-of-state anti-libertarian types. It’s not like there’s a lack of in-state anti-libertarian types.
The group was set up for people who are already on board with the message and philosophy.

Not holding my breath on any charges actually being filed, because that would open up Democrats being charged for similar offenses.

AR-15 originally stood for “ArmaLite Rifle” (ArmaLite was the original manufacturer), but now that 24 million Americans own some sort of AR-15, it stands for “America’s Rifle.”
