The libertarian philosophy upholds “liberty” as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and personal freedoms based on a foundation of an individual choosing what is best for itself. They are skeptical of authority and governmental intrusion into the rights of individuals.
What happens when personal freedom clashes with government regulation? In this episode of 'Challenging Pathos', host Glenn Marshall sits down with Sean Mitsui, President of the Young Americans for Liberty at the University of Hawaii Manoa, to explore the libertarian perspective on the drug war. Sean shares his thoughts on how libertarian principles, which prioritize individual autonomy and skepticism of authority, stand in stark contrast to current drug policies.
They discuss how these policies often lead to massive incarceration rates and civil asset forfeiture, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Sean argues that only actions infringing on others' rights should be considered crimes, advocating for the repeal of laws that criminalize victimless acts like drug use for medicinal or recreational purposes. This episode is a thought-provoking look at the balance between personal freedom and government control, emphasizing the need for unbiased drug education and harm reduction strategies.
Whether you're interested in drug policy reform or the broader implications of libertarian philosophy, this conversation offers valuable insights.
