This blog is mostly about my Libertarianism/Voluntaryist/Anarcho Capitalist views and anything else I find amusing, interesting, or awesome.

I'm a diehard fan of death metal, stalwart Anarcho-Capitalist and Libertarian, connoisseur of horror/exploitation/sci-fi films, comic books, and sarcasm.

» The Crippling Nature of Minimum-Wage Laws by Murray Rothbard

“If the minimum wage is, in short, raised from $3.35 to $4.55 an hour, the consequence is to disemploy, permanently, those who would have been hired at rates in between these two rates. Since the demand curve for any sort of labor (as for any factor of production) is set by the perceived marginal productivity of that labor, this means that the people who will be disemployed and devastated by this prohibition will be precisely the “marginal” (lowest wage) workers, e.g. blacks and teenagers, the very workers whom the advocates of the minimum wage are claiming to foster and protect.”  - Murray Rothbard

What beliefs do you hold as a Libertarianism/Voluntaryist/Anarcho Capitalist? Just please give me a run down of foreign, domestic, and economic beliefs. I'm a bit confused. (:

Foreign: “Diplomacy and commerce with all nations. Alliances with none.” -Thomas Jefferson

Domestic: Government has no legitimate authority to decide what is best for the individual. Voluntary exchange is preferable than State sponsored coercion. Look up “Stateless society”, “Voluntaryist”, “Non-Aggression Principle”.

Economics: I fully support a totally free market. I support total privatization of all industry. I support multiple, competing currencies compared to the fiat, debt currency that the Federal Reserve has a monopoly on. Read the works of Murray Rothbard, F.A. Hayek, and Henry Hazlitt.

To boil it all down…I am an anarchist. Now, that particular term has some bad connotations attached to it. Do I wish to burn buildings, cars, etc and wear all black clothing while attacking others? Of course not. The media and government use this term to describe simple minded goons who just look for an excuse to do idiotic things. A true anarchist abhors the government and wishes to see a stateless society in which the Non-Aggression Principle and voluntary interactions are the only tenets which govern the individual. One group of people, calling themselves “the government”, has no right to force a tax, criminalize something you would like to eat, drink, or smoke. It should have no say in your life at all. Through a system of voluntary exchanges, contract rights, and the Non-Aggression Principle, we can thrive and prosper.

I hope this answered your questions or at the very least gave you a launching point to research the terms I used.

An excerpt from “Roads” by Larken Rose

“But, HOW WILL THE ROADS WORK?!?!?!? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!”

Damned if I know. It ain’t mine to fret about, not because I don’t want roads, but because I’m not the one who will be making and maintaining them. The problem with collectivists is that they have such a fetish for micromanaging everything that they think they neeeeeeeeeeeeeed to know every detail about how something will work. It never occurs to them that it isn’t that way now. Here is statist logic as applied to lunch: “How can I be sure someone will make me a sandwich for my lunch? I neeeeeeeeed lunch! How will they get the grain to make the bread? How will they transport it? Who will pay for the building and equipment to make bread? What if they make bad bread? What if they charge $1000 for one sandwich? What if they decide not to bother selling sandwiches anywhere near me? I neeeeeeeeed lunch! What if they just do nothing??!?!? I’ll die!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!”

As idiotic as this is, it is precisely the same logic that statist have regarding the concept of roads without the omnipotent state running the show. (“What if no one makes roads? What if they charge too much? What if they don’t make a road for me? …”) What if you get a grip and stop pretending the world should be, or could be micromanaged?

The usual result of collectivist crises such as this is to advocate state coercion to solve the problem. Trouble is, it never solves the problem, it removes the incentives to do the job well, and it is immoral. (Other than that, it’s a good idea.)

I’m about sick and tired of this Obamacare bullshit

Just rule it unconstitutional so we can focus on the upcoming bill to audit the Fed. Seriously.
