Brief Report on the Fourth Annual Candidates & Campaigns Conference

 

The Fourth Annual Candidates & Campaigns Conference this July went off as a resounding success! An event of the LPWI’s chapter of Polk County Members, the conference had 10 attendees, with Party leaders from around Wisconsin and local activists present.

This year’s topic looked for the relevant value propositions for the Libertarian Party from an examination of Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz’s seminal 1830’s book, On War, and the life, work and materials on the non-violent and non-cooperation practices of early 20^th Century Indian leader, Mohandas K. Gandhi.

By looking at the philosophy of war and peace through Clausewitz’s logical constructs, and comparing and contrasting them with Gandhi’s struggle against British imperialism, the conference facilitators and participants arrived at various means to ends for Libertarian leaders. The conference conclusions can help the LP everywhere empower more effective activism to achieve the Party’s goals, such as “to set the world free” from the tyranny of the militarized state in all its forms.

The official records and reports of the conference will get posted on www.cepiaclub.com for all to see, sometime in early September.
