A Bastardised Attack Against Libertarianism

NB, I am not Davy. Not exactly sure what prompted it, but good golly is George Monbiot not mincing any words about his thoughts on Libertarianism over at the Guardian. Sadly, all we get is a horrible collection of misrepresentation, straw-man arguments, demagoguery, and outright misunderstanding of basic Libertarian principles. Let’s take this a bit [...]

Apathy as the state shows no limit to its evil & malice

I think the reason I haven’t written any articles lately is partly because nothing surprises me anymore and seriously thinking about UK issues and writing long pieces on the topics is just frustrating.

Only just caught this and it’s awesome. Fantastic production values like these really make a message that much more powerful. Much like the two Keynes Hayek raps, you could easily send a video like this one to somebody with zero grounding in libertarian ideas and they’d be well on their way to understanding the basics.

Stefan Molyneux answers 38 questions in 6 minutes

I agree with almost all these answers. “Wilful ignorance” is a fantastic answer to the question “who is the enemy and “False philosophers” is an even greater answer to “who are the real terrorists?” Share
