Being a controversial figure has its ups and downs. One of the downsides is, I get excluded from a lot of things. I’ve been expelled from organizations, lost speaking engagements, kicked off radio shows, and blogs. That’s just the stuff I know about, and in all reality I’ve certainly been excluded from a great many…...
The FCC claims it’s going to keep the net “neutral”. News outlets claim to be “impartial”. Such buzzwords immediately tell you that you’re being scammed. Well, it’s official. The FCC is taking over the Internet. Not only that, but millions of idiots begged them to do it, because they think the FCC is somehow going…...

Let me see if I’ve got this right. At some point in your life, you decided to join the military, or law enforcement. At the time, you had an idea in your head that this was a noble goal, that you would be helping your fellow man. After all, you took an oath to do…...
Is Anarcho-Capitalism Broken? I just saw a video titled “Anarcho-capitalism Why it’s Broken & How to Fix it“ by the YouTube channel Storm Clouds Gathering. In it, Aaron Hawkins reiterates a number of common criticisms of anarcho-capitalism, while simultaneously claiming to have done hundreds of hours of research on the subject. He makes anti-capitalist arguments…...
“Why do you attack other libertarians? Why don’t you attack the State, instead?” I’m a guy who finds myself in a lot of conflict with his peers, and nearly every single time I write or make a video about it, I get asked this question. “Why do you attack other libertarians? Why don’t you attack…...
Jeffrey Tucker Reduces Core Libertarian Ideals To “Brutalism” In the ongoing conflict between leftist infiltrators who want to redefine libertarianism, and purists who wish to stay on message, yet another high profile libertarian has ditched principle for popularity, and condemned principled action as racist, and misogynist. Jeffrey Tucker, publisher at Laissez Faire Books, and fellow at…...
Make mention of anarcho-capitalism, and the lefties are never far behind to tell you you’re not a real anarchist. You know, because studying economics and improving one’s station in life, that’s for statists, maaaan. I suppose “left anarchist” might be a broad brush, including all sorts of incoherent ideologies. The anarcho alphabet if you will,…...
I just read a rather painful article in Forbes titled “Sorry Libertarian Anarchists, Capitalism Requires Government“. It was written by a contributor named Harry Binswanger, who ironically enough says he defends laissez-faire capitalism, except for, you know, those things he wants the government to do. To make matters worse, reading that article lead me to remember a…...
You know what I find really offensive? Statism. Statism has been the source of more misery and death than anything else in the history of mankind. Every (sizable) war, prison, or widespread institutionalized form of oppression, has originated in, or taken shape through, the State. You’re a homophobe and don’t like gay people? Well, that’s…...
