Pierre Lemieux is een zeer bekend libertariër en zijn lezingen (en publicaties) zijn meer dan de moeite waard. We kunnen daarom iedereen bijzonder aanraden om deze lezing bij te wonen.
Jammer dat we vandaag pas horen dat dit morgen al plaats vindt. Anders hadden we nog meer ruchtbaarheid aan deze happening kunnen geven.
Uitnodiging voor de LP bijeenkomst van dinsdag 3 juni 2003
Op dinsdag 3 juni a.s. om 20:00 organiseert de Libertarische Partij de
maandelijkse discussie bijeenkomst.
Pierre Lemieux will speak about:
THE STATE
The state is founded on coercion and violence, although it is rationalized as the only way to avoid more of the same. What is wrong with the state isthat it uses coercion to operate redistributions for the benefit of certain clienteles against other individuals. The challenge is not to abolish the state immediately, which is unrealistic and potentially catastrophic, but to shrink it as much as possible until, hopefully, it withers away. We must cut state powers as much as possible in order to break people’s addiction to the state, and to create conditions whereby non-state solutions can be experimented.

Before the main topic, Sarah Fitz-Claridge will speak about if, when and why parents should have a legal obligation to take care of or pay for their children. For instance: Do parents have the right to leave their newly born child on the doorstep of a church? Or should parents be put in jail for this?
