Today, the Libertarian Party of Russia celebrates its eleventh anniversary. A solid age, solid achievements, solid prospects.

At eleven years old, the party has turned into something of an awkward teenager—growing rapidly, gradually learning how to communicate with others on equal terms, but not yet perceived by many as an independent political entity.

The party is created from the bottom up, so it is not very susceptible to the problem of leader dictates. The flip side of this is, and will continue to be for a long time, an extreme limitation of resources. This allows for the development of the most efficient practices, providing maximum effect with minimal costs.

I would like to wish everyone who is a member of the LPR, and everyone who sympathizes with it, to continue increasing the party’s effectiveness as a tool for fighting statism. As for those who do not believe that a political party can be a tool for fighting statism at all, I would wish them to temper their arrogance and perceive the party as a community of libertarians with whom it is perfectly possible to hold a dialogue and offer some additional tools, even if, in your opinion, they are spending disproportionately large efforts on some useless nonsense. It might be useless to you, but they see it differently. Self-ownership, the subjective theory of value, all of that.
