Rabbi Adam Jacobs wrote “An Open Letter to the Atheist Community,” the title of which is sort of based a misunderstanding. The only thing atheists share is an absence in a belief in something. That is not grounds to be called a community. Atheism tells nothing of what a person actually believes to be [...]
The city of Dallas, in concert with the federal government, has a relatively new program to grant immigration visas to foreign nationals in exchange for investing in Dallas business projects. The program has targeted investors from Mexico but has expanded to other countries as well. On one hand, I appreciate that the federal government [...]
The Republican-controlled Texas state senate last week passed SB 16, which if made law would require women thinking of aborting their pregnancy to first perform a sonogram. Texas law already requires, unjustly I believe, a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion could be performed by a licensed physician. This new legislation would dictate what [...]
Concerning the protests against then-Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak, Barack Obama released a supportive statement on Jan. 28 addressing the popular revolt that eventually led to Mubarak’s ousting.
Obama expressed that the “people of Egypt have rights that are universal.” Later, he added, “Violence will not address the grievances of the Egyptian people. And suppressing ideas [...]
What Julia Riber Pitt, blogging at Free Disesent, is “more than a little sick and tired of are people whose beliefs are nothing but pro-capitalist labeling themselves as ‘anarchists’ only because they oppose the government/State.”
I cannot tell exactly what is meant by the word “capitalism,” since there are so many different definitions for [...]
The Center for a Stateless Society is hosting a virtual symposium concerning issues of land ownership.
I thought I would offer responses to questions posed in Gary Chartier’s opening remarks.
After how much time does land become ripe for homesteading?
I take this question to be asking by what principle can a property become [...]
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 [...]
Who plans whom, who directs and dominates whom, who assigns to other people their station in life, and who is to have his due allotted by others? — Friedrich HayekArchives

Explaining Why Taxation Is Theft
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 [...]
