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 20th 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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

Libertarian Party Leadership Conference Saturday, July 19th

 

The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin’s chapter of Polk County Members will hold its Fourth Annual Candidates & Campaigns Conference, Saturday, July 19th, in Dresser, WI. Interested individuals of the general public and any media should also feel welcome to attend and observe or participate.

 

Gathering Libertarian Party leaders and activists from around the area and state, this year’s conference compares and contrasts the political philosophies of the 19th Century German general and writer, Carl von Clausewitz, and the 20th Century non-violent peace activist, India’s Mohandas K. Gandhi.

 

The conference starts a free-will-donation registration at 10:30 AM, and kicks off at 11 AM, at the Village Pizzeria on WI Highway 35, in Dresser.

 

Titled the “Prophet of War versus the Paladin of Peace, Compared,” the conference, facilitated by The Cepia Club LLC, plans to introduce the conditions and circumstances of war and peace in the modern era and their effect on current affairs. It will explain how a decentralized leadership and organization, matched with a principled individual and libertarian activism, can increase the rates of success for peaceful, positive and Non-Violent change in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Most importantly, the conference aims to inform and train everyone to bring clarity, focus, and simplicity to their state and local efforts.
