Liberty & The Art Of War: Do Libertarians Need To Learn How To Fight? (PODCAST)

by Austin Petersen

WARNING: THIS PODCAST IS NOT FOR WEENIES! 

Seriously, if you don’t have the guts to learn how to fight, and win, do not listen to this show. 

What did Bruce Lee, George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, Saul Alinsky and Sun Tsu all have in common? How did the Vietnamese army manage to defeat the far superior American forces in the war in Vietnam?

Bruce Lee once said that, “Knowing is not enough. We must apply. Willing is not enough. We must do.” Knowing this, is it about time that libertarians “man up” and learn how to kick some ass?

Progressive socialists have been using the art of war for hundreds of years to bring their progressive policies into governance. Using strategies pioneered by Roman dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus, the left has managed to win great victories for big government. But can libertarians learn the “Fabian Strategy” in order to beat back the forces of economic centralization?

This Freedom Report podcast takes a look at some of the basic strategies in the art of war, pulling from military and martial arts strategy and applying them to politics. We analyze the tactics that can help you win any battle you may be engaged in, whether it’s a simple schoolyard bully or beating people like Lindsey Graham.
