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 [...]
There is one thing that YouTuber franks2732 got right in his video “Bigotry & Libertarians.” Capitalism, which I take him to mean the exchange of privately owned goods, would not prevent discrimination. For good or bad, people discriminate all the time among various choices, of course. If they are wise, people discriminate between [...]
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 [...]
Last week’s election results are official, and by a vote of 31-7, prohibition of any substance has been overwhelmingly abolished in the geo-political entity known as Free Grafton.
Bob “Weeda Claus” Constantine (Free State Party) easily defeated Misty the Cat (Maoist Party) to become ambassador-elect to unfree Grafton and other coercive forms of [...]
A resurgence of scholarship documenting the structural causes of poverty has been surfacing, according to the New York Times. I think researchers are making some valid insights into the causes of poverty, which sits atop a 15-year high and reaches 44 millions Americans, but they have a huge blind spot for the underlying reasons [...]
For context, I have written before why libertarians, and particularly libertarians committed to small government, should support open immigration as a matter of principle. Further, I have given a consequentialist argument for open immigration and what that entails.
For me, the least impactful line of argument I would think is the constitutional argument. That so [...]
I don’t make it to Dallas all that often for activism events, but the May 1 event was worth the effort. We had a marijuana re-legalization rally at high noon and an immigration rally in the same afternoon.
Well, we had parked the car and were walking up just as the local Worldwide Marijuana [...]

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) [...]
