Matthew B. Kibbe is an American libertarian activist. He is president of Free the People, a nonprofit that uses video storytelling to promote libertarian ideas to the young, and a co-founder and partner at Fight the Power Productions, a video and strategic communications firm. During his media appearances, Kibbe discussed and recommended several works aligned with his political philosophy and personal journey. On an episode of Timcast IRL, he recommended Michael Malice's book The White Pill while discussing geopolitics and top-down system collapses. He also promoted his friend Matt Battaglia's dystopian comic book, House on Fire, near the end of the program. Earlier, during an appearance on The Rubin Report, Kibbe shared that the album and song 2112 by Rush served as his gateway introduction to libertarianism. He explained to host Dave Rubin that discovering this music led him to stumble across an old copy of Ayn Rand's novella Anthem, which he subsequently devoured. Through these selections, Kibbe illustrated the intellectual and cultural touchstones that shaped his worldview, blending libertarian political theory with science fiction and rock music.
