Like the grey or black market? They arise not because of state intervention, but in spite of it. Markets are considered spontaneous just as much as th...
Of course, I would never actually use the phrase “Neosocialism” or “neoliberalism”, unless it was a term of abuse. Philosophically, Michel Foucault’s ...
As far as I know hardly anyone uses the phrase to describe their own politics or ideology, which is telling, so often it is little more than a term of...
The idea that a politician can represent me is an obsequious one, especially if they’ve never met me or considered my concerns. So I don’t look at it ...
Biden carries with him “cheat sheets” that provide advance knowledge of a reporter’s question, whom to call upon, etc. One hilarious example shows Bid...
It’s true, I believe. On the whole of it, the liberal tradition of negative freedom has hardly made any inroads into the public domain until relativel...
It doesn’t help that most of the tenets were pure wind. Class consciousness, class struggle, historicism, dictatorship of the proletariat, the witheri...
For me it goes to “sourcehood”. Basically, the source of the action is that which willed it, decided it, governed it, chose it etc. Until anyone can s...
A bunch of lawyers and politicians may be of secret societies, but no society I’m a part of. Truth is you and I do not make any laws, and since we are...
They come from men. The idea is that given the evidence human nature provides, such is enough for a reasonable man to conclude what rights ought to be...
One of the oddest trends in the history of politics is the idea that man must create an institution which then confers rights and privileges upon man....
Though businessman is highly represented in the former occupations of reps and senators, so are lawyers, veterans, and professional politicians. So it...
It’s tax relief. The tax relief you get depends on the rate of tax you pay. You’re using money that is already taxed. If you do not earn enough money ...
I missed it. After having read it, it doesn’t appear that you’re avoiding or evading taxes at all. Availing oneself of the tax system is not the same ...
I favor the rule of the people; you favor the rule of a few. I favor democracy; you favor representative government. I favor sovereign persons; you fa...
Report a person or business you think is not paying enough tax or is committing another type of fraud against HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). This incl...
Taxes are necessary for any regime that cannot generate its own revenue. The exploitation of both the labor and finances and the property of its citiz...
Tax evasion and tax fraud aren’t crimes in the UK? You also disclosed that you profit from tax collection insofar as you draw from the government’s fi...
States have certainly streamlined the activity of taking people’s money to the point where violence isn’t necessary. But tax evasion and tax fraud is ...
Somehow and at some point people were convinced that voting was tantamount to democracy, that marking a piece of paper every few years constitutes the...
There is a difference between a legitimate and an illegitimate authority. One's status as an official, or employment within a bureaucracy, is not good...
All state systems are capitalist, the socialist ones included. I don't think the existence of one precludes the existence of others because any state ...
One can search the entire website for the phrase “abolish the state” and find out that Mikie is the only one who ever drones on about it, hilariously ...
And people have the choice not to exploit their fellow man. Stop taking another’s stuff. Quit forcing another to labor for you. Find other means to sa...
If you want to delegate your responsibilities to your fellow human beings to someone else, go for it. But I don’t think that favoring a piece of legis...
Yea, if someone wants to be a slave, learns to be under the dominion of a master, and have his money taken from him without his permission, like you w...
The principle is that I rail against the involuntary activity between non-consenting parties, not the voluntary activity between consenting parties. Y...
Personally I don’t care if your tax money built me a home made of gold and furnished me with every luxury I could imagine. It’s wrong to take fruits o...
Yes they are taken. You agree to a wage with an employer; the government takes a portion of your income. Neither you nor your employer determine how m...
It’s either/or, collectivism or individualism. There is no middle ground. I’m not saying you’re guilty of anything, either. I’m just showing you’re no...
One of the greatest conceits is that only man in his government form can lay asphalt, deliver packages, pick up garbage, or care for the sick. Here in...
I can show any number of quotes from socialists, fascists, conservatives, communists, throughout the ages about the atomization theory of individualis...
Conflating selfishness and individualism is a collectivist canard as old as the word itself, and flips the dictum that man is a social animal on its h...
It cannot be said that any of the problems of today are the result of individualism. Greed, egotism, self-concern, which are often associated with ind...
We often forget how Western communism is, how bourgeois Marx was, and so it would inevitably erect itself on the Roman, republican model. A written co...
My only real gripe is that most theories of mind and consciousness are dualistic, or fractured, whereas a human being is not. For some reason we try t...
Oh dear. You’re annoyed at the arrogance. Excuse me while I cringe. I’m annoyed at the fence-sitting and tone-policing. At any rate, yours or mine fee...
