Seeds of Liberty Podcast Ep 12: The War on Drugs is a War on the Individual

Please enjoy our recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Cynthia Wells, an anarchist from Texas who, among other things, runs the Single Anarchists and Voluntaryists Facebook group. Herein we discuss how Cynthia became an anarchist, how most people live their day-to-day lives in anarchy, the destructive nature of collectivism, religion as a consequence of geographical location, statheists, the training law enforcement goes through, the benefits of private security, planting seeds during traffic stops, the Church of Beardism, how laws against actual aggressive acts are redundant, the origins of the War on Drugs, the potential number of deaths caused by the War on Drugs vs. the drugs themselves, messing up the kumbaya rainbow, the insanity of suicide being illegal, how the War on Drugs is a war on people, and more!

The War on Drugs employs millions – politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military – that probably couldn’t find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners.

Daniel Hawkins: Anarchy Never Been Tried and the History of Anarchist Societies

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Daniel Hawkins. Herein we discussed how he became a Voluntaryist, Anarchy amongst the younger generation, government school grind, appeal to antiquity, using “government” biased history to refute Voluntaryism, McGraw-Hill conflict of interest, 1984 censoring of history, the epitome of irony, the essence of democracy, secession, Scottish Independence, safety net before welfare, Anarchy never been tried, past Anarchist societies, Congress of Vienna, Anarchy in Ireland, the Anarchist party favor, the appeal to emotion, talking to family about Voluntaryism, opposing the idea of government, Statism is for self-righteous cowards, the crumbling Socialist welfare states of Europe, college/healthcare is free fallacy, government is the largest mafia, government doesn’t create anything of value, economic and Voluntaryism, without government the corporations would take over fallacy and much more!

 

 

The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order, and in the assertion that, without Authority, there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that Anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution. ‘To establish Anarchy’. ‘Anarchy will be instituted’. But it will be instituted only by there being more and more people who do not require the protection of the governmental power, and by there being more and more people who will be ashamed of applying this power.

Seeds Of Liberty Podcast Ep 11: Using the Libertarian Party to Spread Voluntaryism

Please enjoy our recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined by Luis Fernando Mises, creator of Emancipatedhuman.com and writer for dollarvigilante.com Herein we discussed how Luis became a voluntaryist, using the Libertarian Party to repeal laws, attacking the State from all angles, Discordianism, good intentions losing out to the addiction to power, socialized money, using the Libertarian Party for education and outreach, misunderstandings about greed, the driving force behind most businesses, Starbucks: it’s not about the coffee, and more!

It’s incumbent upon people to come up with some sort of strategic perspective to dismantle the state. For example, Bob LeFevre somehow works it out that it’s almost impossible to get rid of the state — from his own point of view. He is against violent revolution — okay, now that is a very respectable position; he’s also against voting; he’s against political parties — it becomes very difficult to really see how one can get to the state at all with this kind of procedure. I don’t see why we should give up something like political parties. It might be a route eventually to dismantling the state or helping to dismantle it.

Law Enforcement Legal Plunder Hypocrisy

There are many blatant double standards that clothe the local monopoly on violence known as law enforcement. When some people are given superhuman rights over other people simply by virtue of their shiny piece of metal, costume, or special hat and are thus able to interpret the arbitrary political edicts at their discretion to murderous ends with immunity, it is quite apparent that we do indeed live in a state of chaos and disorder. They are entirely unaccountable for their actions and do not respond to the incentives and feedback mechanisms that bind the actions of a private security agency. Regardless of their heinous actions they will get paid through extorted funds, so what then is the incentive to treat the populace as customers to be satisfied? Rather the populace is viewed more and more as sheep to be frightened into submission.

 

 

Police Zone No Breathing

 

 

This also illustrates the lunacy of the notion “equality under the law”. When there is clearly a difference between the rulers and the subjects or the lords and their serfs, equality under the law becomes a laughable notion accepted only by the morally blind who, no doubt, have been raised to believe such contradictory nonsense through their “government schooling”. There never existed equality under the law, even back when the Constitution was just written, for the very reason that there has always been a clear separation between lawmakers and law-abiding citizens. It is the mark of a successful representative democracy to persuade the peasants into believing that they can influence the violent legislation that subjugates them nay that they are in control of their “government” at all. Man-made laws are ideas so good that they must be forced upon the population by pain of death.

 

 

Unquestioningly Obeying Authority

 

 

We live in an era of the appeal to force AKA argumentum ad baculum. He who has the bigger guns rules. In our current society it is “government” who holds most of the guns. By this logic if “government” can kidnap, cage, or murder you then they must be the rightful authority of all things moral and just. Just like superior numbers do not change the laws of morality so too does superior force not change the laws of morality. They may have most of the guns but their true power lies in the belief in authority AKA argumentum ad verecundiam. When the people stop believing “government” has such superhuman rights and stop giving them legitimacy for their evil, then they will be recognized as the liars, extortionists, thieves, molesters, rapists, and murderers that they are. The extent to which we choose to interact with our neighbor through the violence of “government” is the extent to which we have failed as a civilized society. The extent to which we live by the sword instead of by the plough is the extent to which we have chosen to become the monsters we fear our neighbors to be. Let us put the guns down to slough away our medieval Statist shell replete with mandates, rulers, and taxations. Let us relegate Statism to the dustbin of history along with the other demon children it has spawned such as war, genocide, chain slavery etc. Let us finally emerge to recognize the dawn of man’s true Renaissance, the age of voluntary interaction amongst peaceful people. When no one obeys, no one rules!

 

 

Should We End The Drug War

 

 

A free market in police would reward efficient and courteous police protection to customers and penalize any falling off this standard. No longer would there be the current disjunction between service and payment inherent in all government operations, a disjunction which means that police, like all other government agencies, acquire their revenue, not voluntarily and competitively from consumers, but from the taxpayers coercively.

If a man has the right to self-ownership, to the control of his life, then in the real world he must also have the right to sustain his life by grappling with and transforming resources; he must be able to own the ground and the resources on which he stands and which he must use. In short, to sustain his “human right.” – or his property rights in his own person- he must also have the property right in the material world, in the objects which he produces.

Murray Rothbard
