Read it. Chapter 30 is a great read. Refers to "left sectarianism". A lot of that going around here lately with all this "voluntarist/minarchist" wedge issue bs.

You could also say there has been a lot of "right wing opportunism" going on.

The answer to this issue lies in "Do you Hate the State"

 

[UnReconstructed]

Anatomy of the State is a good read too

Thanks for the link to the podcast. I honestly tried to listen to it. I just can't stand Rockwell's monotone, boring voice. You couldn't pay the guy to sound excited.

This book dramatically changed my worldview.

Do you mean Hoppe?

Don't think I linked to Rockwell.

 

[reardenstone]

There is another amateur "libertarian manifesto" out there that I read recently that starts out like a deconstruction of Marxism and the communist manifesto. I want to find and finish reading it because it was really good and traces the roots back to the 19th century thought and not just to the formation of the modern libertarian party.

Anyone know that one?

 

[reardenstone]

The other manifesto is the Konkin manifesto, but that is not the one I am looking for.

Wow. Thanks for bumping this thread so I could find this piece by Rothbard I had not seen before. Murray has a knack for explaining exactly what I feel, and taking it farther allowing me to grow each time I read more.

I often explain myself to those who question my anarchy very closely to the way Rothbard describes in this article. I tell them that it's not as though I researched all forms of political ideologies and decided, "Anarchy, this is it, this is the one I like the most". What I did was take a hard look at my principles and where they came from, a very introspective ordeal which led me to certain observations, chief among them that there was simply no way to square the existence of the state with my principles. It is this reason, and this reason alone that I am an anarchist. Much as Murray explains, I feel the hatred for the state deep within my gut. But as I said, he not only explains what it was I felt in words, he expounds to show me a larger picture:

"...Why are almost all of our laissez-faire limited governmentalists plonky conservatives and patriots? If the opposite of "radical" is "conservative," where are our radical laissez-fairists? If our limited statists were truly radical, there would be virtually no splits between us. What divides the movement now, the true division, is not anarchist vs. minarchist, but radical vs. conservative. Lord, give us radicals, be they anarchists or no. ..."

The division brought to light from an angle I might never have discovered without the help of Murray.

 

[reardenstone]

I FOUND IT!

It was actually an agorist class theory manifesto that the author calls "A Left Libertarian Approach to Class Conflict Analysis".
