Posted on by

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Blood The Brave. Herein we discussed how he became a Voluntaryist, we are born anarchists, Statism is taught and artificially infused, Banksters music video, Icelandic financial revolution, good politician, Monetary Economics, high school economics, the most powerful man in the world, Earth Day hypocrisy, Statism is fear, good intentions are insufficient, the Internet and digital technology will render government obsolete and irrelevant, government is a dinosaur institution, Lysander Spooner, American Letter Mail Company, law enforcement monopoly on violence, government one giant broken window fallacy, seen and the unseen, the belief in authority, revolving dictator, false dichotomy history, I am free and I have all the licenses to prove it, Intellectual Property is based in fear, copyright violation horror stories, Against The Odds music video, the War on Terror, blow-back, drone strikes create militant extremists, American Sniper, Louis CK, PTSD, we are the government fallacy, peaceful parenting, arbitrary school curriculum, teachers are not evil, government school is prison for the young, perverted morality, the golden rule always applies, the most dangerous superstition, Anarchy is all around us, monopoly money, redundant laws and much more!

 

The government, in its wisdom, perceives a problem (and Lord knows, there are always problems!). The government then intervenes to “solve” that problem. But lo and behold, instead of solving the initial problem, the intervention creates two or three further problems, which the government feels it must intervene to heal, and so on toward socialism.

Caleb Bader: Christian Voluntaryist and Ex-Marine

Posted on by

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Caleb Bader. Herein we discussed how he became a Voluntaryist, September 11th, military hero mythology, war stimulates the economy fallacy, broken window fallacy, government indoctrination centers, 1984, 3 minutes hate, Murray Rothbard, war is a racket, talking to military men/women, Internet rendering government obsolete, free Internet cannot be trusted fallacy, the belief in the authority, being a Christian Voluntaryist, Anarcho-Communist, worker owned business, legitimacy of the State, legal plunder, minimum wage economics, making voluntary transactions illegal, taxation is theft, I’m just doing my job and much more!

 

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Posted on by

Please enjoy my recent debate part 2 of II that I conducted with John Cymerman, an old high school friend and fellow chess player. I am defending Anarcho-Capitalism and he is defending Direct Democracy or the necessity of “government” itself. Herein we discussed without laws would you murder people, morality vs. legality, what is the purpose of man-made law, was post Hurricane Katrina New Orleans an example of Anarchy, The Prohibition Laws of the 1920s, victimless crimes, are drunk driving laws good preventative laws and who do they truly hurt, the golden mean fallacy, taking moral responsibility, bankrupt companies should bear the burden of their own faulty decisions, the anarchy that surrounds us and is ignored, the role of guns in the reduction of crime, is it human nature or human conditioning, the fear of government returning in a stateless society, what is civilization, sovereign immunity, perverting the laws of morality, the broken window fallacy, the black and white fallacy, government creates artificial demand for endeavors that the free market would not voluntarily choose to do, is profit evil, for the greater good, is Wal-Mart immoral and much more!

In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.

William Penn
