Given how often libertarians are mentioned here, I thought this would be interesting. And maybe there's some people with a lot more insight into what's going on.

A few months back (May 29), the national leadership of the Libertarian Party (the "Big L" political party, not the "small l" belief system) was taken over by a group called the "Mises Caucus". While their platform seems to be a mundane version of a normal platform.

In recent days, there's several state level "rebellions" which seems to indicate that the schism between the old guard and them isn't going away any time soon.

For me, they do seem to tilt at absolutist windmills rather than do stuff they want done - which is a common libertarian flaw. And the implicit emphasis on Mises economics is a huge problem for me. Their stance against vaccination and supporting Trump's allegations of election fraud seem pretty shifty.

OTOH, the previous leadership didn't seem all that interested in libertarianism. Maybe this will shake things up in a useful way?

So what are peoples' takes on this?
