Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women

Saturday 30 June 2018 Reflections on Robert LeFevre Share This:





LeFevre deeply impacted libertarians who met him personally but current and future generations may not understand why. They will meet only his books, which are deceptively simple and less impressive than was the man himself. LeFevre exuded such charisma that personal contacts often had profound consequences. For example, billionaires Charles and David Koch attended the Freedom School that LeFevre founded in 1957; inspired, the brothers went on to massively fund the libertarian movement. Indeed, the science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein is said to have found LeFevre so compelling that he became the model for Professor Bernardo de la Paz, the anarchist hero who leads a Lunar revolution in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.
