Unifying the Masses Against the Psychopathic Deep State (feat. James Corbett)

https://youtu.be/ps4zBwGu8MU Is it really a surprise that as the government gets bigger and bigger and bigger, everything in life becomes more and more hyper-political? When you think about it, right, there are such profound differences that people have... you will have right now in this audience... a Christian sitting next to an atheist, the most profound difference in belief: one person believes that the person next to them is going to burn in a pit of Hell forever, and that atheist looks over at you and believes you are delusional. But you’re fine. Like, you’re not going to war, because...

The Utilitarian Case for Voluntaryism

https://youtu.be/mO0Wi-elguk If I try to take something from you, you will resist, imposing costs on both of us in the form of property damage and bodily harm, in addition to the cost of security you may incur to prevent future acts of coercion. It’s not just that voluntary acts tend to raise total utility and coercive acts have no such tendency; coercive acts actually tend to decrease total utility. - Danny Duchamp, The Voluntaryist Handbook, p. 89 Danny Duchamp creates essays and videos on philosophy, economics and politics from a consequentialist libertarian perspective.

The Brief Case for Pacifism – Bryan Caplan, Ph.D.

The Brief Case for Pacifism – Bryan Caplan, Ph.D.

by | Aug 1, 2022 |

  “My case for pacifism, to recap, comes down to three simple premises. The first two are empirical: Premise #1: The short-run costs of war are clearly awful. [Empirical claim about immediate effects of war]. Premise #2: The long-run benefits of war are highly uncertain. [Empirical claim about people’s ability to accurately forecast the long-run effects of war]. These empirical claims imply pacifism when combined with a bland moral premise: Premise #3: For a war to be morally justified, the expected long-run benefits have to substantially exceed its short-run costs. [Moral claim,...

https://youtu.be/WnvtYw_QKQE Critics often dismiss private law by alleging that disputes between enforcement agencies would lead to combat — even though this happens between governments all the time! In truth, the incentives for peaceful resolution of disputes would be far greater in market anarchy than the present system. Combat is very expensive, and private companies take much better care of their assets than government officials take care of their subjects’ lives and property. - Robert P. Murphy, Ph.D., Chaos Theory (p. 22) This is a clip from my appearance on Conflicts of Interest with...

A Necessary Alliance Between the Dissident Left and Libertarians

by | Jul 27, 2022 |

The following is a transcript from the Keith Knight Don't Tread on Anyone podcast, originally titled 'A Libertarian Message to the Great Jimmy Dore'. There is a lot of fundamental overlap in the progressive view of the world and the libertarian view. This is more or less referred to as the exploitation agreement. There are five keys to this agreement. First, there is a small, unjust, parasitic ruling class which rules over the masses at the expense of the masses. Second, the ruling class is ideologically held together by its interest in keeping the system of exploitation ongoing. Third,...

https://youtu.be/zQiIPeHLQp4 “Unless it be to do justice on an offender,” Locke continued, no one may “take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.” Long traces out a key implication of this idea: “Lockean equality involves not merely equality before legislators, judges, and police, but, far more crucially, equality with legislators, judges, and police.” One moral standard for all, no exceptions, no privileges. That’s a fitting summation of the libertarian philosophy. The good news is that most people are more...

https://youtu.be/7S19xsdp074 The next step in the development of what would later become anarcho-capitalism was the radical one taken by Gustave de Molinari, in his essay “The Private Production of Security.” Molinari asked if the production of defense services, which even the classical liberals took for granted had to be carried out by the State, might be accomplished by private firms under market competition. Molinari made express reference to the insight we have been developing thus far, that society operates according to fixed, intelligible laws. If this is so, he said, then the...
