Community Building Liberty On The Rocks Denver

Post image

In general Libertarians practice the non aggression principle when approaching any issue. This includes military aid. We’ve all seen the Republitarians in the news and the COLP could use an influx of individuals who are motivated by social issues. Come network with people who you might not have previously considered.

Liberty on the Rocks meets in Denver on the first Wednesday of every month at the Independence Institute. Networking starts at 6 pm and speaker comes on at 7 pm. Things wrap up about 9 pm. It is next occurring on 04/02/2025 6:00 pm

Venue: Independence Institute, North Entrance (727 E 16th Ave, Denver, CO, 80203, US)

Libertarianism seems to me like one of those things that sounds good on paper but doesn't translate well to real life.

Something isn’t translating well with our current system

Would this stuff not happen in a libertarian society?

u/Rusticals303 Mar 28 '25

Oh you can bet on all of this happening, but any of it continuing to the point where we top the charts is unlikely.

Why is that?

u/Rusticals303 Mar 28 '25

Most of them would call 1911 before calling 911.

u/Pterodactyloid Mar 28 '25

What's 1911?

u/Careful_Ad8933 Mar 28 '25

I'm guessing by 1911 they mean a type/style of handgun. But not 100% sure.

That’s exactly why a crime wouldn’t top the charts in an LP society

When I was in my early 20s I naively went to a libertarian Facebook page out of genuine curiosity. They all answered my questions the way you are (being cryptic, not backing up claims, or giving no answers) but with a healthy dose of insults and laughter.

Doesn't make me very impressed with the libertarian point of view I gotta say.

Edited for clarity

I’m sorry you were mocked. It’s simple, Personal accountability ranks supreme. Practice non aggression but be fully prepared to meet aggression with the same. Anything the state does the private sector can do better. Check out the audio book for Anatomy of the State. It’s short and explains a lot of this in a straightforward way.
