Legal attacks on the free speech and association rights of pro-market groups – and their supporters – have been increasing in recent years at an alarming rate. AFP’s Victor Bernson, CEI’s Kent Lassman, and Goldwater Institute’s Timothy Sandefur will share stories about successfully litigating their free speech cases in court (and in the news media) so that fellow freedom fighters are better armed if they’re similarly attacked. President Kent Lassman will discuss how CEI responded to the subpoena from the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands, received on his 2nd day in office, demanding more than a decade’s worth of documents about our energy and climate policy work, including donor names. Vice President and General Counsel Vic Bernson will share how AFP was vindicated in their First Amendment lawsuit against Attorney General Kamala Harris and how her attempted blanket collection and public distribution of confidential donor information was ruled unconstitutional. Vice President Timothy Sandefur will discuss how working on controversial issues can dramatically highlight the need for donor privacy and how that right is being undermined by the fight against so-called “dark money” in politics. CEI Senior Editor Richard Morrison will moderate the discussion.

From its earliest examples such as Mary Shelley's The Last Man, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Rappaccini's Daughter, the novels of Jules Verne, plays such as Karel Capek's R.U.R., and movies such as 1924's Aelita to current blockbuster franchises such as The Avengers, Star Wars, and Wonder Woman, science fiction is an artistic genre that inherently questions politics, cultural conventions, and the trajectory of history. At the same time, there is a strong case to be made that simply by speculating on and proposing alternative futures, science fiction is inherently libertarian because it forces us all to consider and choose between possible ways of ordering human fsociety.
"Is Spock Libertarian?" will be a rollicking, take-no-hold discussion about whether libertarianism defines science fiction, the rise of left-wing and alt-right elements in the Hugo Awards, and what authors, directors, and visionaries should be celebrated and promoted to broaden the audience for libertarian ideas.
Liberland is the youngest country on earth, and was formed on the 272nd birthday of Thomas Jefferson, 13th April 2015. The country was formed on 7km2 of no mans’ land, sitting between Croatia and Serbia. It is the third smallest state after The Vatican and Monaco. Liberland’s constitution is based on libertarian ideals and values; minimum government intervention with the maximum amount of freedom granted to its’ citizens.
Liberland has attracted in excess of 450,000 applications for citizenship, and applies a concept of voluntary taxation. The state intends to be a leading role model in the 21st century, combining the best governance practices from constitutions of Switzerland and USA while implementing the latest state of the art technology such as blockchain, as well as proven concepts such as E-Residency demonstrated by Estonia.
The creation of a new country requires an extensive array of diplomatic, legal and technological challenges, which are essential for the proper development of a nation. Modern countries have in many cases become burdened with obstacles, rather than supporting the economic development of a society. Over regulation and excessive taxation are smothering the economic growth, particularly in Europe. Is the creation of a new smaller jurisdiction, with low taxation policies the correct answer to the stagnation of economic growth?
Do existing countries have the courage to allow Liberland and other “free spirit” nations to flourish? Or are we doomed to continue suffering due to the taxation policies of other countries?
