LewRockwell.com (LRC) is a libertarian web magazine run by Lew Rockwell. The site, which is closely associated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, is known for espousing free market economics and opposition to war and imperialism. Deviation from these editorial themes include links to outside science and history articles pertinent to libertarianism, as well as occasional articles criticizing the presidency of Abraham Lincoln [1], usually in context of the libertarian doctrine of the right of secession. The site also features essays that include arguments against the United States's participation in the Second World War [2], speculation about an end of the United States as a cohesive nation-state [3], and accusations of fascism on the part of countries often considered free [4]. It is read by one out of 4,000 Alexa users daily. [5]
