How Good Does Trump’s Wall Sound Now, Cowboy?

How Good Does Trump’s Wall Sound Now, Cowboy?

People who were in favor of Trumps boarder wall are now are starting to reconsider the consequences of the policy. Eminent domain a seizes the soil hard-working Texans have tilled, farmed, or simply invested in, as if they actually "didn't build that" in the first place. It's almost as if they never even owned to begin with. The authoritative exploitation of the state has delegitimized all private-ownership of not just Texas, but every individual. As I like to emphasize, the best way to get people to care about public policy is to hit where it hurts most: their wallets. No matter what you...

Stop Pushing the Envelope: Consequences of US Foreign Policy (Past & Present)

Stop Pushing the Envelope: Consequences of US Foreign Policy (Past & Present)

So Iran oil tankers get bombed by the Saudis. Funny how that happens to slide into your Friday morning news cycle there. Almost like it was intentional or something. Now Trump is sending 3000 troops to help the Saudis fight off Iranian threats. What threat if they were the ones who got hit?! Maybe he’s making up for removing troops from Northern Syria and leaving the Kurds high and dry? Supposedly he pulled 2000, so now maybe he’s thinking “I’ll raise you 3000!” It’s just like his economy! Cut taxes on the corporations so they can buy back their stock and artificially raise the value of...

Nothing Personal…Except Your Freedom

Nothing Personal…Except Your Freedom

What is freedom? How do we protect it? As a libertarian, anarchist, agorist, minarchist, collapsatarian, or whatever liberty-minded label your strut from this radical spectrum, it's easy to get bogged down by the difference between human rights (civil rights/personal freedom), and property rights (economic freedom). I believe that anyone who is passionate about liberty and educating it to the masses should be comfortable articulating this. The truth is, you can't have one freedom without the other. It's a part of our creed of self-ownership, and property rights. It is undeniable that the...

The Yemen Connection: An Appendage Of The Failed American Empire

The Yemen Connection: An Appendage Of The Failed American Empire

Here we go again. The American Empire is lying straight to the face of Lady Liberty as it shamelessly slaps her around, coming up with excuse after excuse as to why America needs to invade country x, and starting illegal wars one after the other. If you've been around the past 20 years, this mess ain't new to you – if you paid attention, that is. One conflict has unfortunately been overlooked, however: Yemen. America's intervention in one of the poorest countries in the Middle East has inflicted genocide on a civilian population as it continues to aid the Saudi effort to push the Houthi...

Reflections on Ron Paul’s Revolution: Taxation is Theft

Reflections on Ron Paul’s Revolution: Taxation is Theft

Ron Paul's Revolution: A Manifesto, is without a doubt a cornerstone and gem in Libertarian literature. Some might call it a "soft landing", but it's a fantastic entry into exploring Libertarian thought in a perfectly succinct, enlightening, genius way. No offense to Human Action, but to hell with Human Action! I'm joking of course, but this little guy at a whopping 186 pages (if you include the edition with a chapter on the economic crisis) covers all the basic principles of liberty ammunition for any debate, enlightening conversation, and just straight up knowledge to make you a little...
