Watch: Why Are Libertarians Always Fighting? – Michael Munger on Destination vs. Direction Libertarians

In a speech to the Libertarian Party of Indiana in 2011, Michael Munger explains the “destination vs. direction” fight that exists in the libertarian movement. While most libertarians agree on 99% of things, there is a fundamental difference in approach and messaging. Should we deliver a bold end game message or layout a path to that end game?

Michael Munger is an economist, chair of the political science department at Duke University, and was the Libertarian candidate for Governor of North Carolina in 2008. Watch the full speech:

Chris Spangle is the publisher and editor of We Are Libertarians, a news site and podcast that covers national and Indiana politics from the libertarian perspective. Spangle previously worked in marketing for the Englehart Group on behalf of the Advocates for Self-Government. He also served as the Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Indiana and producer of the Abdul in the Morning Show. He now works as the web director of a nationally syndicated morning show.
