Anarchy in India?

Although not exactly classed as stateless, the Dharavi slum in Mumbai, India is one of the most densely populated areas on earth with a population approaching one million packed into less than a single square mile! In Kevin McCloud’s new documentary he reveals the area is entirely free of taxation and regulations. Despite this, the [...]

Top 10 Jobs In Libertarian Paradise, Part 1

NB, I’m not Davy For those that don’t know, there is a fairly unfunny satire of libertarianism doing the rounds. I discovered it via a facebook conversation with an opponent of liberty, but have also heard it discussed on Free Talk Live, but I thought I’d have a bash at it. So, the satire is [...]

The absolute total injustice of what the police routinely gets away with is enough to turn anyone WACO. I only intended to take a quick look at the documentary but [...]
