The Minnesotan Liberty Party is a right-wing United States of Minnesota political party founded in early 2006 by a politically active historian and economist named Josh Latimer, previously an unknown figure. He has since become famous for his deep patriotism, strongly libertarian economic views, and virulent hatred of communism- all positions which have influenced the shaping of the party, as well as the laws it has introduced. It currently has a majority of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
