I think he means $7 per litecoin.

really strange phrase. My initial reaction was voluntarism/anarchism as well, but now I don't think so. I think he meant it like the Jefferson quote of govt needing to be reformed every so often because it always grows.

Props to Deace. He's slowly starting to understand the nature of govt. Here is the quote he was referencing: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington

Video: Milton Friedman answers a question about whether we should have a 100% inheritance tax.

You don't need to violate the NAP in order to enforce the NAP. People can voluntary make agreements with each other to uphold the NAP and violators will be punished accordingly. But taxation itself is a major violation of the NAP. You can't violate the NAP and then claim to be in favor of the...

This doesn't seem any more or less crazy than minarchist libertarians that love the constitution, limited govt, etc. And at least you're thinking about things critically and not assuming democracy or a republic are a given. The problem is that a dictatorship still means that someone has the...

Well written. The author is Robert Higgs btw.

I hope technology puts everyone out of work. Would be nice to have robots do everything for humans. 100% leisure time. =)

Won't incarceration will be almost nonexistent in an anarchic society? Prisons are the statist way of trying to solve problems.

Did Mises figure out a way to voluntarily fund the government? User fees are still coercion. No way around that one.

Your uncle is not independent-minded as you claim. His anger about something he cannot change is truly sad. He also claims Romney is flawed and that he never cared for him, but he put a whole lot of effort into getting him elected. He thinks Romney is the lesser of two evils, but he will vote...

If this assertion is true, then we can probably agree that people don't want their houses cluttered with many different utility poles. If so, then the free market will decide the proper amount through voluntary contracts and agreements. The govt can only create a monopoly by threatening...

It's just a fallacy that anarchy is a chaotic world of dog eat dog, no cooperation, etc. He has no facts to back up his assertions. But if we take the argument that this is how anarchy would be, then how is it possible for such individuals to cooperate together to form a state that provides...

I have no help except to point you to the wikipedia page if you haven't seen it already. Also, I find it amusing that you think liberal and conservative information are somehow opposite viewpoints. The opposite of an ideology is not another ideology. The opposite is philosophy.

These people that feel anguish about Obama winning, obviously must have felt happy if Romney had won. They can't see that Romney and Obama are two sides of the same coin. So they are oblivious to facts and reason. Just because the republicans say freedom and free market doesn't mean that their...
