Libertarian Left Goes to Porcfest
The Alliance of the Libertarian Left will attend this summer’s Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, NH. We hope a large band of ALLies will be there.
The Free State Project, an effort to get liberty-oriented people to move to New Hampshire to concentrate their political influences, holds “Porcfest” to showcase the Granite State in a fun atmosphere. This year the festival is officially June 25 through 28, though some Porcupines will be at the campground earlier in the week.
Even though it’s a Free State Project event, you don’t have to be planning to move to the shire to have a good time. If you’re into market anarchism, voluntaryism, or any free market radicalism, Porcfest is somewhere you want to be. Open bar, open carry, and open marketplaces will all be there in a clever ploy to lure libertarians to New Hampshire (fair warning: there’s a good chance you’ll want to stay). Plenty of fun activities will be planned by Porcfest organizers and self-organizing folks.
Alliance of the Libertarian Left people from a variety of locations will be there to have fun, promote agorism, add a distinctly left libertarian perspective, and represent ALL at a vendor table. We’ll contribute shirts, buttons, mounds of subversive literature, and our cheery personalities to the festivities.
If you need a ride or want to join a rideshare, try the FSP forums. If you’re coming from the Chicago area, Soviet Onion is getting a rideshare together and you can contact him at crimsonavalon[at] gmail.com. If you need to find a ride or have any other questions, you can also email nj.libertarianleft[at] gmail.com. If you’re curious about the Alliance of the Libertarian Left, check out all-left.net. If you’re not familiar with the libertarian left and you see us at Porcfest, we hope you’ll stop by and chat with us.
Don’t miss out on the fun this revolutionary year!

Man, this sounds awesome! I moved to New Hampshire a while back and I’m estatic to see it catching on among fellow left-libertarians.
(Nitpick: It seems to be a common myth that the FSP is a political movement. That myth does not hold water. It is also worth noting that regardless of what people’s opinions are when they first move here, they tend to radicalize once they live and rub shoulders with other anarchists here in New Hampshire. New Hampshire activists–on the whole–tend to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t work. More ALLiance activism can only tip the balance in our favor!:-) )

ALL,
Yeah, long live entryism!
Seriously though, I think it’s great that you guys have invented a lot of effective direct action strategies up there, even if the bulk of the Free Staters remain political minarchists at heart. I especially like the open carry litter pickups.
Hopefully we’ll pick up some tips while we’re up there. Feel free to drop on by our table.
