Episode 48: The Flux and the Party w/ Jim Magoo

Today, we welcome a returning guest—Jim Magoo, from the “Ignore the Rant” podcast—to pick up on what feels like a continuation of our last joint episode, “Bolshevik Libertarians” (yes, we have a theme). Magoo briefs us on the Mises Caucus “takeover” of the Libertarian Party, shares his thoughts, and takes us on a far-ranging discussion/debate on what’s changed about libertarian ideas and tactics—and where they might be headed.
