Freedom is freedom for those who think differently, to quote a socialist. Unless 100% of the community is in agreement, some sort of injustice or coer...
That’s an important question. The most common practices as far as I can tell are gulag, re-education, murder and genocide. The threat of these punishm...
I see Mondragon and collectives brought up in conversation about socialism all the time, so I assumed that you were holding them up as exemplars. My a...
One of the great things about starting a business is that you can apply any business model you like and run it how you see fit, even starting a collec...
Here’s a little red meat for anti-trumpists. The Lancet, a medical journal, is getting into American politics, telling that because of the weakening o...
Sure, some jobs will go the way of the dodo bird as technology advances, but that has been the case throughout history and production has only increas...
Believe it or not many people want to work, not just out of necessity, but because it provides purpose, dignity, and fulfillment. So I don't see why w...
It’s nice to see this distinction. Modern liberalism is still liberal. Democratic socialism is still socialist. The relationship between socialism and...
Of course the media class is fixated on the term Obamagate, and not on the reasons for applying that term. Nothing could be more predictable. But it’s...
But why should they be legal rights? I’m reminded of Bastiat’s argument: “ Life, faculties, production — in other words, individuality, liberty, prope...
Governments have created a good little racket. Shut down the economy, eliminate any means for citizens to provide for themselves, then act as the solu...
Wow. Acting Director of National Intelligence, Grenell, just declassified the list of officials who “unmasked” Michael Flynn. Included are ambassador ...
I think it revolves around what you think the Self is. What is at the center of this universe? Who or what perceives it? Where does the Self end and w...

I wasn’t aware the second amendment gave anyone the right to shoot whatever they want. Either way it just isn’t true that the second amendment infring...
I believe in "natural rights", but only as moral reminders or as easily digestible concepts for every day conversation, not as a features of the natur...
Yes, you guys are over-sensitive to whatever phrases the media sensationalizes for you, and utterly forgetful or blind to anything else he says. I am ...

I mean, I agree. I believe in natural rights. But the problem is governments can and do limit these rights. So perhaps grounding rights on some solid ...
The Declaration of Independence is not a legally binding document, so I think it had less to do with law and more to do with refuting the power of the...
I agree. He did nothing wrong. I was just saying how his actions could be construed as worthy of investigation, which could account for the length of ...
I don’t know. She was one of the shooter’s boss. But the DA rightfully recused herself. The other DA who recused himself thought the father/son were i...
I suspect that it just takes a while to investigate these things, for instance the video of Aubrey snooping around a construction site, which is odd f...
Though there may have been “missed opportunities”, unlike some countries, these volunteers didn’t sign bad contracts or purchase any crap. What year d...
