  • Episode 105 - The destructiveness of taxation, economic retardation, agorism

    Government doesn't respect persons and property, by definition

    Tax attacks: Hillcrest grudge match pits Market Anarchists against Democratic Socialists by Dave Maass http://www.sdcitybeat.com/cms/story/detail/tax_attacks/9008/

    All the grand social projects advocated by statists, in addition to being immoral, fail miserably compared to free market standards

    Socialism is mass coercion with no respect for private property rights

    Until a statist agrees to put the gun down, arguments from effect (or utility) are somewhat futile

    Tax objectors have long history in US: Man who crashed into IRS building is the latest defier by Stephen Ohlemacher (AP) http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/02/21/tax_objectors_have_long_history_in_us/

    Taxes by definition are immoral and unjust; no taxes are legitimate, on account of their involuntary nature

    I'm Allowed to Rob You! by Larken Rose http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngpsJKQR_ZE

    It's crucial to make the moral argument against those behaving like authoritarian sociopaths, which strikes at the root of the meme of statism (and its imposed "services")

    A Society of Criminals by Ben O'Neill http://mises.org/daily/4125

    The mystics of muscle and spirit work together to enslave individuals http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/mystics_of_spirit_and_muscle.html

    Your life is being cut short by government: murder on the installment plan

    Our lives would be so much better economically without government

    I am Powerful and I Will Never Give Up: An Anti-Stack Manifesto by George Donnelly http://www.fr33agents.com/2364/i-am-powerful-and-i-will-never-give-up-an-anti-stack-manifesto/

    Working on personal development and avoiding governmental nonsense are vital to the good life

    Self-defensive violence against governmental oppressors is NOT the solution to governmental aggression

    Rather, asking root-striking questions about morality and justice can foster better behavior: http://www.meetup.com/Complete-Liberty/messages/boards/thread/8208221

  • Episode 104 - Some reasons for free market anarchism

    Why I Call Myself A Free Market Anarchist And Why I Am One by Brian Micklethwaithttp://www.libertarian.co.uk/lapubs/polin/polin067.pdf

    Unfortunately there are "Anarchists" who are nothing of the sort, because they violate property rights (or advocate violating them)

    Today's "capitalism" is also nothing of the sort, because of statist intervention

    Freedom solves all the intractable problems that statism (i.e., lack of freedom) generates

    Freedom means being responsible (respecting property rights)

    Statism means being irresponsible (disrespecting property rights)

    No product, service, or idea should be delivered at the barrel of a gun

    Complete liberty will provide a much better life for everyone

  • Episode 103 - Unproductive evils of statism, both federal and local, versus self-esteem

    The philosophy of pragmatism in America is killing our economy and culture http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/pragmatism.html

    Evasion, rationalization, and repression are common defense mechanisms

    Government, being a coercive monopoly, fosters immorality and injustice

    The American Spectator : Just Say Snow by Doug Bandow http://spectator.org/archives/2010/02/11/just-say-snow/

    Any government is inherently unproductive, because it makes no profits; no voluntary trade with others

    The activities of government are a giant lead weight around the neck of our economy

    The military does not protect individual freedom, because individuals aren't allowed to make their own choices based on property rights (the essence of freedom)

    Free Will - "God Style" PART 2 by NonStampCollector http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv9IvCpiHxA

    All politics is invariably local

    Cops protect and serve their own, not "the public"

    The communized road system is the land of the arbitrary and coercive

    The San Diego Superior Court--extortion artists par excellence

    Governmental employees apparently can't conceive of making money in a voluntary fashion

    Root-striking questions to ask those who want to rule over you...http://www.meetup.com/Complete-Liberty/messages/boards/thread/8208221

    It's important to explicitly state the nature of the coercive madness to those in government

    Public property is a contradiction in terms

    All the good things gained in life stem from mutually respectful relationships

    Aggression is the utter failure of a reasoning consciousness

    Are We Not Afraid? by James Tuttle http://alliance.rationalreview.com/2010/02/are-we-not-afraid/

    Those who advocate a voluntary society favor peace and prosperity, not the coercive tactics of statism

    Inner strength comes from dealing with one's fears about challenging "authority"--and speaking the truth

    And finding kindred spirits...

  • Episode 102 - Socio-economic chaos, striking the root of fear

    15 Signs American Society Is Coming Apart at the Seams by David DeGrawhttp://www.alternet.org/economy/144109/15_signs_american_society_is_coming_apart_at_the_seams?page=entire

    Our standard of living would be a great deal higher without the assorted ills of statism and central banking

    Taxpayer money should be left in the hands of those it was extorted from

    Productive individuals create jobs, not those in government

    It's contradictory to think that you're going to be "secured" by a coercive monopoly

    Homelessness has many causes, but getting rid of "public property," i.e., statism, is the remedy

    Coercion does not work, in addition to being immoral

    The health care problem can only be solved by a free market in medicine (and insurance)

    Voluntarism and peacefulness is the answer to the violent nature of government

    Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 millionhttp://washingtontimes.com/news/2010/feb/02/burgeoning-federal-payroll-signals-return-of-big-g/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_the_United_States#State_government

    Government, being a coercive monopoly, delivers the lowest quality "service" at the highest possible price

    How to end the State by Alex Ryanhttp://www.libertyforall.net/?p=3741

    Liberty-lovers who play politics unfortunately make government seem necessary and proper--and virtuous

    Our volitional mechanism can be used in maladaptive ways, such as avoiding truth and initiating aggression

    If people held reason and self-esteem as their top values, the world would change dramatically and quickly

    WHY AYN RAND? SOME ALTERNATE ANSWERS by MICHAEL HUEMER

    http://www.cato-unbound.org/2010/01/22/michael-huemer/why-ayn-rand-some-alternate-answers/

    Human beings should be rationally self-interested

    Modern politics stems from denial of self-ownership, among other things

    What we have is a world of deficient self-esteem

    The key is to live in the present moment, appreciating that you are alive!

    Your happiness is the ultimate defiance of death

    When people don't rid their lives of self-sacrifice, our culture suffers greatly

  • Episode 98 - Copyright versus property rights, anti-IP Objectivism, contradictory logorights

    Let's hope this next decade will be better than the last one regarding prospects for freedom... Back to Basics on Property and Competition by Jeffrey A. Tucker http://www.lewrockwell.com/tucker/tucker129.html Property rights aren't respected by governments in civilization; "laws" created by a coercive monopoly infringe on them daily People in the marketplace are the ones who respect property rights, not government Laws, and the people who make (and interpret) them, seek to control others, not respect freedom and justice Property rights exist to make distinctions concerning who owns what and who can therefore utilize what, without conflict or confusion Plagiarism is generally frowned up, and provides a marketplace check against confusion and fraud charges The tentacles of statism in the realm of IP are pervasive, as are the unseen costs of IP laws "Anti-trust" law was created by gangsters with no good intentions A "competitive" marketplace is just one in which people bring values to others unimpeded An Objectivist Recants on IP http://blog.mises.org/archives/011162.asp The principle of self-ownership represents the unification of liberty and property IP fosters rampant legal conflict, on account of it contradicting real property rights The first serious critique I read against IP (hat tip to Ian Freeman of http://freetalklive.com)...
