Libertarian Party Radical Caucus (sometimes abbreviated as "LPRadicals") is a caucus formed in 2006 within the United States Libertarian Party by Susan Hogarth and other party members who opposed removal of much of the material in the party platform during the 2006 national party convention.[1] The caucus generally subscribes to an ideology of anarcho-capitalism.[2] The caucus was active at the 2008 and 2010 Libertarian National Conventions.[3][4][5][6] The radical caucus was revived and was extraordinarily active during the 2016 Libertarian National Convention.[7]
