Ad hominem attacks aside, YouTuber hawanja’s video on free-market anarchists seems to make the point that people “naturally organize themselves into hierarchies” that require violence to be maintained, so anarchism runs counter to the human condition. It is left unstated why violence is needed or ethically justified to maintain these hierarchies if they were [...]
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 [...]
I recently saw a video clip of Michael Moore calling other people’s money “a national resource.” I have to agree that in some cases other people’s money is not truly their own. For example, the wealth of Moore and others who benefit from government privileges, in Moore’s case intellectual property laws, would belong [...]
Broadly, my objections to socialism (be it statist or anti-statist) are not with the ends sought (a more egalitarian world, social solidarity and a free society), just the means by which those ends are sought. I take the view that free markets can more justly and more effectively socialize the benefits of capital and labor [...]
Webster’s dictionary had defined “inflation” as “an increase in the amount of currency in circulation resulting in a relatively sharp and sudden fall in its value and a rise in prices.”
Today, it calls inflation “a continuing rise in the general price level usually attributed to an increase in the volume of money and [...]
I was listening to an episode of The Fuze, a local internet show co-hosted by Ken Emanuelson of the Dallas Tea Party, with former New Mexico governor Garry Johnson as his guest.
The show got contentious when the discussion moved to immigration. From my understanding, Emanuelson is concerned that mass immigration will drive down [...]
In the minute city of Sansom Park, just outside Fort Worth, the city’s police chief and three other recently resigned officers have had a litany of charges leveled against them by their co-workers on the force, according to a Fort Worth Star-Telegram report.
With a geographic area of just 1.2 square miles, the city [...]

The Benefits of Being Exploited
Admittedly, the title is tongue-in-cheek. I don’t believe that there are any benefits of being actually exploited. It is a reference to Karl Marx’s mistaken theory of exploitation, which holds that the full benefit of the produce of labor rightfully belongs to the laborer. As the theory explains, owners of the means [...]
