Takeaways

Principled libertarianism is essential for achieving freedom and resolving political and economic crises.

Open immigration aligns with the non-aggression principle and avoids perpetuating a crisis.

The Future of Freedom Foundation, founded by Jacob Hornberger, promotes the principled case for libertarianism.

The influence of Leonard Reed and Richard Ebeling has played a significant role in Hornberger's journey and work. Running a campaign based on pure principle can attract voters who may not join a political party but are willing to vote for a package of libertarian principles.

The Libertarian Party needs to shift its philosophy back to its original founding principles and away from reform messages.

Delivering a message of pure principle is important for influencing people toward liberty and achieving a free society.

Running a campaign focused on principles is more valuable than gaining a higher percentage of votes through watering down those principles.
