- The Poison Called Nationalism
Come talk with prolific liberty author and Future of Freedom Foundation vice president Sheldon Richman about war and peace, freedom and tyranny.
Up this week: Richman on Nationalism:
"Nationalism is a poison. It attacks the mind, short-circuits thinking, and makes self-destruction look appealing. Nationalism sows the seeds of hate and war. It makes the title warrior an honorific instead of the pejorative it ought to be."
Join us to talk with Sheldon.
This event is open to the public. Non-members of Liberty.me can sign up here.
- FFF Presents: Libertarianism, Social Cooperation, and the Tackling of Strawmen
Not a member? No problem! You can attend too through this link -- click "Enter as a Guest."
Are libertarians self-centered and anti-society? Mainstream critiques of liberty and individualism often portray libertarians as rugged hermits who care nothing for others and idolize self-sufficiency, but Sheldon Richman argues that this is hardly the case. Why did this misconception propagate, and how can we combat it? Join us as the Future of Freedom Foundation presents this frank discussion with Richman Tuesday, December 16th at 8pm EST!
- Jon Stewart and America's Civic Religion with Sheldon Richman
Click here to attend if you're not a member.
The Future of Freedom Foundation presents this sobering look at the sterility of America's current crop of political satirists, with Jon Stewart as the most prominent example. In recent days, Stewart has apologized both for joking about not voting, and for calling Harry Truman a war criminal. Why the apologies? What happened to the bold statements made by George Carlin and so many others, skewering the system with truth? Join Sheldon Richman Tuesday, November 18th at 8pm EST to discuss the state of American political satire and to ask your questions!
- FFF Presents: The Antimilitarist Libertarian Tradition with Sheldon Richman
The Future of Freedom Foundation presents:
It is not possible to favor both freedom and war. War goes with tyranny, despotism, and socialism, which is why the liberal tradition has been unflinching in its support of peace. Strangely, there are periods in which this truth has been forgotten or suppressed: 19th century British colonialism and 20th century American imperialism. But if you look closely at both cases, we find excellent illustrations of how you can’t be both pro-freedom and pro-war. Join Sheldon Richman for this important look at the liberty's peace-loving side Tuesday, October 21st at 8pm ET!
- War is Some Bad S#!% with Angela Keaton and Scott Horton

- Why and How 9/11 Changed Everything with Jeffrey Tucker
September 11th was a shock. Much like the Kennedy assassination, those who were old enough will always remember where they were when they heard. It also marked the moment when the Bush administration shifted from its 2000 campaign stance of non-interventionism into a war fever that has only recently begun to break. It marked a move toward the surveillance state, wild government spending, and a climate of fear among Americans. How should liberty lovers approach the memory and aftermath of 9/11? Join Jeffrey Tucker for this solemn anniversary at 9pm EDT on September 11th.
- FFF Webinar: The 100th Anniversary of the Great State Crime with Sheldon Richman
100 years ago, World War I began, claiming the lives of 16 million people, including 7 million noncombatants. With so much having been written in the last century, what's left to be said about the "Great War" at this late date? Could the men responsible for the war have wrought anything like the horrors they inflicted had they not controlled a state apparatus — an army, a navy, a compulsory revenue-collection agency, and a bureaucracy to conscript (enslave) the nation's young males? War was never inevitable. It was a product of human agency. Join Sheldon Richman for this important session, brought to you by the Future of Freedom Foundation, September 16th at 8pm EDT!
- The American Founding: Empire on Their Minds with Sheldon Richman
Were the Founding Fathers really the champions of liberty as they are portrayed in history books and the mainstream media? Many liberty-lovers consider the Founders to be brilliant thinkers who created the greatest system of governance known to man; people whose vision we ought to return to. Accomplished libertarian author, Sheldon Richman, discusses the Founding Fathers from a radical new perspective and argues there is more to the United States’ creators than we are led to believe.
Join Sheldon July 29th at 7pm EDT for this fascinating jump into history!
