Episode 173 The Libertarian Case for Chase Oliver

Tom Mullen Talks Freedom

Summary:

In 2022, the Libertarian Party was taken over by the Mises Caucus, promising to bring “the Ron Paul version” of libertarianism to the party. With its members occupying virtually positions within the party, including the Chair, it expected its preferred candidate Michael Rectenwald to win the nomination for president. However, non-Mises Caucus member Chase Oliver emerged victorious from the convention.

This was seen as a regression back to everything wrong with the party prior to 2022 and many prominent Libertarians have refused to support Oliver. But how far does he really stray from libertarian principles? Is there a libertarian case for Chase?
