In a previous post, I discussed why laborers do not receive wages commensurate of their contribution to the bottom line. I argued that the problem was not the fault of the market process. That is, it is not inherent in the market process. I was pointing out how government, through systematic expropriation of ownership [...]
In some respects, I agree with both sides in the heated L. Neil Smith-Shire Society intellectual property dispute. There has been some childish name-calling from each camp, although Smith’s has been far more harsh.
The controversy stems from the creation of the heretofore obscure Shire Society, the several dozen signatories claiming their [...]
It is frustrating having politicians talk about rights.
Last week, Supreme Court Justice nominee Elena Kagan, the White House’s solicitor general, was being questioned by Sen. Tom Coburn (Okla.) about natural rights.
The day before, he had unsuccessfully tried to get Kagan to concede that the constitution’s Commerce Clause does not give government the power [...]
~ An Anti-Stack Manifesto
George Donnelly makes two contributions today. The first is his rebutal to the grieved Joseph Stack, who published a suicide note online before flying a single-engine plane into an Austin building housing the offices of the Internal Revenue Service on Feb. 18. Stack had claimed he was left no [...]
I think Glenn Beck, like Alex Jones, is a great entertainer. But they both take cheap shots at anarchists all the time.
On Beck’s Feb. 17 television program, he said in the clip below that anarchists and progressives “don’t really like America” and are for “total government.” Beck’s and Jones’ definition of “anarchist” might [...]
I admit, the video above cracked me up.
On a serious note, I feel sorry for the young man who posted it. The lessons he is learning now will likely be the foundation for his worldview and affect the relationships he has with others. He no doubt has empathy for others [...]
Collectivists hold that individuals are subordinate to a group and have value only so far as they serve the demands of that group. Examples are racism, sexism, nationalism, statism, and altruism — second-hand ideologies of guilt and the gun. Because collectivism runs so contrary to the individual autonomy of human beings, collectivists snarl at sincere [...]

In Response to ‘Radical Rules for Radical Libertarians’
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 [...]
