     <item> <title>Lysander Spooner: No Treason, Part 2</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/lysander-spooner-no-treason-part-2</link>
 <description>In this episode, Caleb O. Brown reads part two of Lysander Spooner’s No Treason, VI.

In our first number on Lysander Spooner’s No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, our author systematically rejects the notion that individuals consent to government by paying taxes or voting. There, the case is decidedly abstract and philosophical, but for our second number we turn to the more explicitly legal and constitutional. Spooner begins by demonstrating that the Constitution purports to be a contract between either sovereign individuals or sovereign state governments.

This episode was written by Anthony Comegna, narrated by Caleb Brown, and produced by Mark McDaniel</description>

 <item> <title>Lysander Spooner: No Treason, Part 1</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/lysander-spooner-no-treason-part-1</link>
 <description>This episode features Lysander Spooner’s infamous argument that the Constitution of the United States, and thus the “social contract,” has no legal authority and, properly construed, commands no allegiance from sovereign individuals.

Lysander Spooner’s No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority (written 1867-1870) was in many ways the great man’s greatest contribution to liberal thought and without a doubt the best example of his originality as a thinker. With this inaugural item, we present our listeners one of the most radical, forceful, and influential statements of libertarian anarchism in American history.

 <item> <title>The Autobiography of Ferret Snapp Newcraft</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/autobiography-ferret-snapp-newcraft</link>
 <description>In early 1838, John L. O’Sullivan’s United States Magazine &amp; Democratic Review published a “Full Exposition and Exemplification of ‘The Credit System,’” in the form of a satirical autobiography. 

In this sly and amusing commentary on the emerging American monetary system, one Ferret Snapp Newcraft describes his upbringing as a young captain of finance.  Through his youth, he travels the countryside with his swindler father, learning the methods and ideology of graft.

 <item> <title>Karl Hess and Robert Anton Wilson: Subversion for Fun and Profit</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/karl-hess-robert-anton-wilson-subversion-fun-profit</link>
 <description>This episode features an excerpt from Subversion for Fun and Profit, with Karl Hess and Robert Anton Wilson. Hess and Wilson are icons of libertarianism and radical individualist thinking in the 1960s and 1970s. 

Karl Hess was an influential figure among high-level Republicans in the early 1960s. As a speechwriter for the GOP, Hess has been credited as the author of Barry Goldwater’s most iconic line, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Over time, Hess became more radical and his close associations with the both the GOP and broader white collar society strained and ultimately dissolved. Hess became an anarchist.

Robert Anton Wilson, is best known for co-authoring the popular Illuminatus! Trilogy published in 1975. Wilson and his co-author, Robert Shea, had been editors at Playboy magazine and began cataloging the letters they’d receive describing various conspiracies of governments and secret societies. Wilson has been described as “maybe” a futurist, author, lecturer, stand-up comic, guerrilla ontologist, psychedelic magician, outer head of the Illuminati, quantum psychologist, Taoist sage and Discordian pope.

The wide-ranging discussion presented here took place at the 1987 nominating convention of the Libertarian Party.

 <item> <title>Barry Goldwater: 1964 Republican National Convention Address</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/barry-goldwater-1964-republican-national-convention-address</link>
 <description>In mid-July, 1964, the Republican Party descended upon the “Cow Palace” arena in Daly City, California.  At the party’s national convention, a clique of traditionalist-conservatives surrounding Senator Barry Goldwater fulfilled their long-laid plans to overtake the GOP.  After Goldwater’s surprisingly energizing campaign for the Senate in 1958 (a year of sweeping Democratic victories), conservative talk show host and activist Clarence Manion commissioned Leo Brent Bozell to author The Conscience of A Conservative.  Manion and Bozell agreed with Goldwater to publish the small volume under the Senator’s name in 1960 during that year’s Nixon convention.  The Conscience of A Conservative launched a grassroots, ultra-conservative Goldwater movement culminating in the Senator’s primary victories in 1964.  Through a difficult and often dirty primary season, Goldwater emerged with enough delegates to handily wrest the convention from Nelson Rockefeller’s “liberal establishment” wing of the party.  Goldwater delegates won their candidate and wrote the party’s hardline Cold Warrior platform.  In his acceptance speech, Barry Goldwater echoed the ideas from his book and magnified his vision for the Republican Party’s role in world history.  His bold and enduring declaration on the virtues of extremism and the vices of moderation inspired generations of “conservative” advocates for American imperialism.  Goldwater believed deeply that America was inherently virtuous, and so thought it historically necessary that Americans act to defend Liberty against the evils of Communism. Goldwater temporarily conquered the GOP, but his loss to Lyndon Johnson was historical in its own right.  Though scorned by history as an epic loser, in the decades since his convention speech, virtually no one has been more important to conservative ideas and activism than Barry Goldwater.</description>

 <description>In this second of two selections from Smith’s decision In re Booth (1854), Justice Smith verbally elaborated before the court his earlier written decision.

 <item> <title>Abram D. Smith: Nullification - Part 1</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/abram-d-smith-re-booth-part-1</link>
 <description>Virtually no one is aware that Abram D. Smith ever existed. His life has almost gone unnoticed by historians, yet Abram D. Smith was not only floated by some for Vice President on the Republican ticket in 1860, but he briefly served as President of the Republic of Canada more than two decades earlier. Smith was born in 1811, in one of the many upstate New York small towns dotting the Adirondacks, likely an antinomian Congregationalist. As a young man and law student, Smith encountered the radical classical liberal philosophy of the New York “Loco-Focos,” imbibed deeply in their brand of romantic, revolutionary republicanism, and moved west with his family. The Smiths settled in Ohio and Abram threw himself into Democratic politics. As a City Councilman in Cleveland, he delivered speeches of the “ultra Locofoco kind,” in the words of a local paper. In his spare time, he conspired with fellow “Brother Hunters,” and “Patriots,” as they called themselves, to violently overthrow British rule in Canada (but we will have to wait to explore this particular exciting chapter in Smith’s life). When the attempt at Canadian rebellion promptly dissolved, Smith returned to a relatively obscure life of quiet reformism. He joined the County Anti-Slavery Society and became a trustee for the Cleveland Female Seminary, “a private school for young ladies.”The Smiths moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1842, where Abram, styled “Governor of the People,” gave expansionist speeches laced with radical liberal visions of American Manifest Destiny. He practiced law and delivered inspiring speeches, winning him election to the state Supreme Court. In 1852, a Missouri slave named Joshua Glover escaped his master and resettled in Racine, Wisconsin. When federal marshals tracked, captured, and beat Glover on 10 March, 1854, locals alerted famous abolitionist and publisher of the Milwaukee Daily Free Democrat, Sherman Booth. Booth led a crowd of 5,000 in an assault on the city jail on 13 March, 1854. The crowd broke into the jail, freed Glover, and made public demonstrations of their victory. Officials soon charged Booth with aiding and abetting a fugitive slave.Booth’s attorney, Byron Paine, appealed to the court to release his client, claiming that the Fugitive Slave Act violated the rights of Wisconsin by denying citizens due process of law. Smith’s decision of 7 June, 1854 nullified the Fugitive Slave Act in the state of Wisconsin. In this first of two selections from Smith’s arguments, he explains the nature of the case before him, weighs the various claims involved, and explains his reasoning that the Fugitive Slave Act was indeed an unconstitutional breach of authority, incommensurate with the national government’s strictly delegated powers.</description>
 <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height: 115%;">Virtually no one is aware that Abram D. Smith ever existed. His life has almost gone unnoticed by historians, yet Abram D. Smith was not only floated by some for Vice President on the Republican ticket in 1860, but he briefly served as President of the Republic of Canada more than two decades earlier. Smith was born in 1811, in one of the many upstate New York small towns dotting the Adirondacks, likely an antinomian Congregationalist. As a young man and law student, Smith encountered the radical classical liberal philosophy of the New York “Loco-Focos,” imbibed deeply in their brand of romantic, revolutionary republicanism, and moved west with his family.

 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/john-l-osullivan-great-nation-futurity</link>
 <description>John L. O’Sullivan and his Democratic Review gained fame, notoriety, and influence by spearheading the movement to produce an authentically American national culture distinct from European antecedents.  Publishing now-canonical authors like Whitman and Hawthorne as well as editorials written by O’Sullivan himself, the Democratic Review trumpeted the concept of “Manifest Destiny” cast in a decidedly radical liberal direction.  The wider New York cultural movement identified itself with the phrase “Young America,” sharply contrasting the United States, which O’Sullivan called “The Great Nation of Futurity,” with the monarchies, aristocracies, and corporate-plutocracies proliferating throughout the Old World.  O’Sullivan and his fellow Young Americans were far from perfect, and by no means were they equivalent to modern libertarians, but their visions and concepts of republicanism, democracy, and the United States constituted one of the most virulent and influential strains of liberal thinking in the entirety of nineteenth-century America.

 <item> <title>Lysander Spooner: To the Non-Slaveholders of the South</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/lysander-spooner-non-slaveholders-south</link>
 <description>In this episode, Caleb O. Brown reads Lysander Spooner’s 1858 essay “To the Non-Slaveholders of the South.”In response to the 1857 Dred Scott decision, Spooner penned this essay advocating for a total overthrow of the slave trade dominating the South at the time. He advises all slaves and non-slaveholders to engage in covert and open conflict against those who perpetuate injustice, turning the slave masters’ whips against themselves.He argues for any and all actions that make slavery unprofitable, from refusing to plant and harvest crops, stealing or destroying farming equipment, to open and justified warfare. Perhaps most significantly for the history of liberal thought, Spooner accepts the time-honored Lockean premise that slavery indeed represented a state of war between slave and slave-master.  </description>

 <item> <title>The Loco-Foco Declaration of Principles</title>
 <link>https://www.libertarianism.org/media/classics-liberty/loco-foco-declaration-principles</link>
 <description>In this episode, Caleb O. Brown reads the Loco-Foco Declaration of Principles.

On the evening of 29 October, 1835, radical liberal conspirators poured into Tammany Hall, fulfilling their carefully-laid plans to overtake the local Democratic Party nominating conventions from the conservatives who controlled the Hall.  After shutting down the conventions and subsequently the gas lamps throughout the hall, the radicals lit the room with their newly-invented friction matches popularly called “loco-focos.” They nominated their own slate of candidates.

The following morning, the press condescendingly referred to the rump conventioneers as the “Loco-Foco Party,” a name which they adopted as a badge of honor. The party later drafted the defining document of their equal rights movement, the Loco-Foco Declaration of Principles.</description>
