We have a system that benefits government contractors for the war on drugs.
Ever felt like the political system is rigged against you? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', host Sean Dustin sits down with Spike Cohen, a prominent figure in the Libertarian Party, to discuss the pressing need for breaking the political duopoly. Sean, navigating his own political identity crisis, seeks answers about what the Libertarian Party stands for and how it can offer a genuine alternative to the current system.
Spike Cohen delves into the core beliefs of the Libertarian Party, emphasizing that people thrive best when they are free to innovate and grow without excessive government interference. He critiques the existing government structure, blaming it for issues like police brutality and the mishandling of the pandemic in the United States. According to Cohen, the current system is riddled with unaccountable officials and cronyism, which benefits a select few at the expense of the general public.
Throughout their conversation, Sean and Spike touch on various hot-button topics, including criminal justice reform, prison reform, and the war on drugs. They argue that these issues are exacerbated by flawed government policies that drain taxpayer money without addressing root causes. Spike passionately advocates for dismantling the crony system of corporatism, which allows harmful actors to evade accountability. He also calls for the abolition of conspiracy laws that are often misused.
By the end of the episode, Sean finds himself resonating with many of the Libertarian Party's principles and encourages listeners to explore their political options. This episode isn't just about politics; it's about envisioning a system where freedom and accountability go hand in hand.
