In the jungle, some gain only at the expense of others. On the market, everyone gains. It is the market — the contractual society that wrests order out of chaos, that subdues nature and eradicates the jungle, that permits the “weak” to live productively, or out of gift s from production, in a regal style compared to the life of the “strong” in the jungle.
Murray N. Rothbard
Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market, pp. 1325–26

Free-market capitalism is a marvelous antidote for racism. In a free market, employers who refuse to hire productive black workers are hurting their own profits and the competitive position of their own company.
The well-known theme of “separation of Church and State” was but one of many interrelated motifs that could be summed up as “separation of the economy from the State,” “separation of speech and press from the State,” “separation of land from the State,” “separation of war and military aff airs from the State,” indeed, the separation of the State from virtually everything.
… I define anarchist society as one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of any individual. Anarchists oppose the State because it has its very being in such aggression, namely, the expropriation of private property through taxation, the coercive exclusion of other providers of defense service from its territory, and all of the other depredations and coercions that are built upon these twin foci of invasions of individual rights.
… there can be no more blatant case of involuntary servitude than our entire system of conscription. … What else is involuntary servitude if not the draft?

… it is the State that is robbing all classes, rich and poor, black and white, worker and businessman alike; it is the State that is ripping us all off ; it is the State that is the common enemy of mankind.

… Since war and foreign policy provide the State with its easiest means of delusion and deception. Revisionist exposure on the foreign affairs front is the most important avenue of desanctification and delegitimation of the State apparatus and of State aggression.
Murray N. Rothbard
Libertarian Forum v. 2, pp. 639–40
Lacking the direct test of success or failure, the voter tends to turn, not to those politicians whose policies have the best chance of success, but to those who can best “sell” their propaganda ability. Without grasping logical chains of deduction, the average voter will never be able to discover the errors that his ruler makes.

Christopher Coyne is a Professor of Economics at George Mason University and the Associate Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center.
Absolute pacifists who also assert their belief in property rights … are caught in an inescapable inner contradiction: for if a man owns property and yet is denied the right to defend it against attack, then it is clear that a very important aspect of that ownership is being denied to him. To say that someone has the absolute right to a certain property but lacks the right to defend it against attack or invasion is also to say that he does not have total right to that property.
Murray N. Rothbard
Ethics of Liberty, p. 77
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, an Austrian school economist and libertarian/anarcho-capitalist philosopher, and Professor Emeritus of Economics at UNLV.
… the very writers who complain most of the wiles and lures of advertising never apply their critique to the one area where it is truly correct: the advertising of politicians.

… Böhm-Bawerk, in sum, posed the grave inner contradiction of Marxian theory plainly and starkly: Marx claimed that goods exchanged on the market in proportion to the quantities of labor embodied in them (i.e., that their values are determined by the quantity of labor-hours needed to produce them), and yet also conceded that the rates of profit on all goods tended to be equal. And yet, if the first clause is true, the rates of profit would be systematically lower in proportion to the intensity of capital investment, and higher in proportion to their labor-intensiveness of production.
