I commented on a hit piece on Austrian economics at the self-identified Marxist website Political Affairs. Besides being completely unwarranted and poorly written in terms of grammar and spelling, the blog post was riddled with misrepresentations and outright fabrications about the “Mieses Institute.”
I posted a comment, and usually that would be the end [...]
William Pierce, who according to Wikipedia, was a white nationalist and founder of Cosmotheism, “a religion based on white racialism, pantheism, eugenics, and National Socialism.” Until his death in 2002, he was probably most well-known as the author of “The Turner Diaries,” which depicts a violent revolution leading to the overthrow of the [...]
I have heard people who are disgruntled with the actions of the federal government sometimes romanticize the notion of a violent backlash by armed resistors. It is not so much done with the understanding that the disgruntled person would necessarily approve of the armed rebellion, but they convey that violence would put the government back [...]
On Nov. 2, tens of millions of Americans will exercise their political franchise to play their part in shaping the future of the country, or so the story goes.
I do not like it any more than anyone else. Most voters will gleefully cast their ballots for politicians openly seeking the legal sanction to aggress [...]
Silly question, right? Of course, consequences matter. More precisely, how do consequences affect one’s ethical beliefs? We hear all the time how there is a dichotomy between how one should act and how one must act to satisfy his or her best interests.

It is telling that more mainstream opinion writers are picking up on the influence of radical libertarian thought. One such piece is by Lisa Richards on David Horowitz’s “NewsReal Blog.” At first, I could not tell if it was a subversive way of smuggling libertarian thought to conservatives or just a massive misunderstanding of [...]

Learning from the Left
On the surface, a recent post on Walking Upstream called “Libertarianism: Coercion Seen Through a Fun House Mirror” may not look like something libertarians should embrace. Upon deeper reflection though, it is exactly the kind of thinking about our current corporatist economic system that libertarians need to embrace (and are doing more of) [...]
