I am very happy to have as my guest today Matthew Erickson from the Kingpilled Videocast and "Wealth, Power, and Influence, with Jason Stapleton". Matt and I get into what government actually is and why libertarians will always be on the losing end unless they are willing to make some big changes. Matt is very good at breaking down Machiavellian power philosophy and expanding it to current times. The left is more than willing to break every rule to keep power. What will happen if libertarians just agree to abide by the non aggression principle as they continually get buried under more leftist state power? Are principles what are written on the graves of dead men? This episode will make you think.
