At 4:15 - Ron Paul for voluntarism?

"It wouldn't be perfect. There would always be problems, because you always have government"

Always good to see Dr. Paul.

"It wouldn't be perfect. There would always be problems, because you always have government"

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.

he is talking about pure economics

government = distortions

if you actually distill this all the way down to individual self-government you understand that each of us is our own little mini-market distortion

the statement only seems absurd because most of us have been brainwashed in to accepting that there will always be a government that stretches further than our personal network of relationships.

the reality that we face is that even slaves have local market clusters that are impossible to touch by the external government

the challenge is to reduce the influences of the external government by increasing awareness of individual self governments.

In the pure economic sense, this looks like a straight labor for labor, good for good, or labor for good barter between two individuals with no outside influence between either. Of course we all know that our values cannot exist in a vacuum so there is the other side of the paradox.

One does not exist without the other, yet if all are one then their is nothing to compare.

Love the unsolicited pump of bitcoin. "Maybe bitcoin offers some competition to the Fed.."

Now at $181 FRNs to 1 bitcoin.
