The state is a PARASYTICAL institution that exists to EXPLOIT subjects, to protect an ILLEGITIMATE ruling class and to MONOPOLIZE resources and territories !
The state in all times and all places wants a population of despairing, dreary, hopeless, and weighted-down people. Why ? Because such people don't do anything. They are predictable, categorizable, pliable, and essentially powerless. Such people offer no surprises, threaten no change, destabilize nothing.
This is the ideal world that the bureaucrats, the plutocrats, and the technocrats desire. It makes their life easy and the path clear. Today is just yesterday and tomorrow - forever. This is the machine that the state wants to manage, a world of down-in-the-dumps and obedient citizens of the society they think they own. In contrast, hope upsets the prevailing order. It sees things that don't yet exist.
It acts on a promise of a future different from today. It plays with the uncertainty of the future and dares imagine that ideals can become reality. Those who think this way are a threat to every regime. Why ? Because people who think this way eventually come to act this way. They resist. They rebel. They overthrow.
And yet look around: we see progress everywhere. What does this imply ? It implies that non-compliance is the human norm. People cannot be forever pressed into a mold of the state's making. The future will happen and it will be shaped by those who dare to break bad, dare to disagree, and dare to take the risk to overthrow what is in favor of what can be.
I realized all this some years ago, and then when you begin to look around and see how the power elites do not and cannot rule, you discover the whole secret to social order. It turns out that they are not really in control, not finally. Then it all becomes fun. It is a blast to see the powerful topple from the thrones they want to sit in so badly. It is a thrill to use and hold technologies that no one among the elite ever gave permission to exist.
It is a kick to see how the market -- meaning human beings acting with vision toward the future -- is so constantly outwitting the arrogant planners who want to freeze history, control our minds and wreck our world.
Jeffrey TUCKER BIO @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Tucker
Is an umbrella term for a number of ideologies which believe that there should be NO GOVERNMENT and a free market economic system. As OPPOSED to anarcho socialism, anarcho communism and anarcho syndicalism which focus on shifting ownership of property, companies etc. to the masses.
Anarcho socialist types believe " Property is theft " while anarcho capitalists believe " PROPERTY IS FREEDOM " ! Anarcho capitalists believe that a free market is the only truly anarchist economic system. The concept was popularized by Murray ROTHBARD (BIO @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard) of the AUSTRIAN SCHOOL of ECONOMICS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School) !

Etymology of Anarchy ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy
The word anarchy comes from the ancient Greek ἀναρχία (anarchia), which combines ἀ (a), " Not, Without " and ἀρχή (arkhi), " Ruler, Leader, Authority ". Thus, the term refers to a person or society " without rulers " or " without leaders ".
“ Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.” " L'État, c'est la grande fiction à travers laquelle tout le monde s'efforce de vivre aux dépens de tout le monde."

Decades ago, when I was young and in college, and just starting my journey into the world of libertarian thought in earnest, I ate most of my meals in the campus cafeteria. Every night after dinner, I’d walk out the front door smack into a crowd of radical students distributing a communist newspaper. I'm not kidding: hammer and sickle and everything. When they tried to talk me into taking a copy, I refused and explained I was a free-marketeer, which invariably started a heated argument. I have to confess that I didn’t always cover myself with glory when defending free market thinking. You see, I was pretty sure the free market was the best way for society to be arranged. But I didn’t always have the facts, figures, and logical arguments to back it up. Today, that’s all different. For instance, at a cocktail party, a leftist and I got into a verbal dust-up when he insisted that socialism was the moral approach to government because it helps the poor, while capitalism helps only the rich. Instead of trying to frame my argument on the fly, I defended the free market with well-thought-out rationales I have acquired through decades of studying and writing about libertarian thought and capitalism.
“ In a market economy, producers earn and keep profits, which they use to buy equipment and hire workers, enabling them to produce in much greater quantities at lower cost,” I explained to my leftist opponent. “ People’s real incomes rise, and they become better off, because the economy becomes physically capable of producing in greater and greater abundance at ever lower costs, and the benefit of this greater abundance is lower prices, increasing consumer buying power.”
By the way, this is precisely what happened during the 19th and 20th centuries: People at the end of the last century had to work far less than those at the beginning of the 1900s to earn the necessary purchasing power to buy a wide range of important consumer goods. And this is why the poorest suffer the fewest deprivations in the world’s most market-friendly societies. With his leftist worldview dismantled in about 120 seconds, my verbal sparring partner left without a comeback and walked off in a huff. That always gives me tremendous satisfaction.
I’m Tom Woods. I am the best-selling author of 12 books on libertarianism and free-market economics, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. See my bio at left for more details. I have spent literally tens of thousands of dollars and more than a decade acquiring degrees in history, including a bachelor's from Harvard and Ph.D. from Columbia, and have dedicated my life to defending free-market thought and teaching it to others. But I realize most people don’t have the time, funds, or inclination to devote almost a decade of their lives to school and study like I did. And so I found the perfect solution – an online resource that can give you the equivalent of a doctoral degree in libertarian philosophy, politics, and economics in months or even weeks instead of years.
With this new knowledge, you can master the facts and arguments behind the libertarian ideas you hold dear, so you can persuade your critics of the correctness of your position. And you can get this free-market education online, without leaving your home, for just 24 cents a day ! Introducing….
Liberty Classroom : the premiere online “ university ” of libertarian thought that you can “ attend ” while sitting at your PC or driving in your car.

Hess was born Carl Hess III in Washington, D.C. and moved to the Philippines as a child. When his mother discovered his father's marital infidelity, she divorced her wealthy husband and returned (with Karl) to Washington. She refused alimony or child support and took a job as a telephone operator, raising her son in very modest circumstances. Karl, believing (as his mother did) that public education was a waste of time, rarely attended school; to evade truancy officers, he registered at every elementary school in town and gradually withdrew from each one, making it impossible for the authorities to know exactly where he was supposed to be. He officially dropped out at 15 and went to work for the Mutual Broadcasting System as a newswriter at the invitation of Walter Compton, a Mutual news commentator who resided in the building where Mrs.
Hess operated the switchboard. Hess continued to work in the news media, and by age 18 was assistant city editor of The Washington Daily News. He was later an editor for Newsweek and The Fisherman. After that, he worked for the Champion Papers and Fibre Company, where his bosses encouraged him to get involved in conservative politics for the company's benefit. In doing so he met Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater and many other prominent Republicans, thus beginning the GOP epoch of his life.
Hess enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942, but was discharged when they discovered he had contracted malaria in the Philippines.
In his book Dear America, Hess wrote that he became an atheist because his temporary job as a coroner's assistant when he was 15 left him convinced that people were simply flesh-and-blood beings with no afterlife. Consequently, he stopped attending church (he had been a devout Roman Catholic).
Years later, while on leave from Champion and working for the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), he resumed attending church because virtually all of his AEI colleagues did so. His return merely reinforced his atheism; on one Sunday morning, while enduring a service as his young son sat on his lap, Hess became disgusted with himself for exposing his child to an institution he himself had rejected.
Chaplin's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship. As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially, he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine. When he was 14, his mother was committed to a mental asylum. Chaplin began performing at an early age, touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian.
At 19 he was signed to the prestigious Fred Karno company, which took him to America. Chaplin was scouted for the film industry, and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios. He soon developed the Tramp persona and formed a large fan base.
Chaplin directed his own films from an early stage, and continued to hone his craft as he moved to the Essanay, Mutual, and First National corporations.
By 1918, he was one of the best known figures in the world !!!!

But I'm just so terrified of what could happen if we lose this election, and I want to see that strength from our champion - even if only to provide me with some reassurance. Contemplating the consequences of a Clinton presidency makes me want to prepare for war, hide, and flee the country all at the same time. If we lose this election, we cannot simply wait for the next one. It will come to pass, that the "2nd Amendment People" the "less verbose warriors" amongst us, will have no choice but to shed blood in a conflict whose outcome is far from certain.
SUMMARY Economics in One Lesson is an introduction to free market economics written by Henry Hazlitt and first published in 1946. It is based on Frédéric Bastiat's essay " Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas (English : " What is Seen and What is Not Seen "). The " One Lesson " is stated in Part One of the book : The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups. Part 2 consists of 24 chapters, each demonstrating the lesson by tracing the effects of one common economic belief, and exposing common economic belief as a series of fallacies. Among its policy recommendations are the advocacy of free trade, an opposition to price controls, an opposition to monetary inflation, and an opposition to stimulative governmental expenditures :
There are men regarded today as brilliant economists, who deprecate saving and recommend squandering on a national scale as the way of economic salvation and when anyone points to what the consequences of these policies will be in the long run, they reply flippantly, as might the prodigal son of a warning father : ' In the long run we are all dead '. And such shallow wisecracks pass as devastating epigrams and the ripest wisdom.

SUMMARY Anarchy, State, and Utopia is a 1974 book by the American political philosopher Robert Nozick. It won the 1975 U.S. National Book Award in category Philosophy and Religion, has been translated into 11 languages, and was named one of the " 100 most influential books since the war " (1945–1995) by the U.K. Times Literary Supplement.
In opposition to A Theory of Justice (1971) by John Rawls and in debate with Michael Walzer, Nozick argues in favor of a minimal state, " limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on ". When a state takes on more responsibilities than these, Nozick argues, rights will be violated. To support the idea of the minimal state, Nozick presents an argument that illustrates how the minimalist state arises naturally from anarchy and how any expansion of state power past this minimalist threshold is unjustified.
Nozick's entitlement theory, which sees humans as ends in themselves and justifies redistribution of goods only on condition of consent, is a key aspect of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. It is influenced by John Locke, Immanuel Kant, and Friedrich Hayek. The book also contains a vigorous defense of minarchist libertarianism against more extreme views, such as anarcho-capitalism (in which there is no state and individuals must contract with private companies for all social services). Nozick argues that anarcho-capitalism would inevitably transform into a minarchist state, even without violating any of its own non-aggression principles, through the eventual emergence of a single locally dominant private defense and judicial agency that it is in everyone's interests to align with, because other agencies are unable to effectively compete against the advantages of the agency with majority coverage. Therefore, he felt that, even to the extent that the anarcho-capitalist theory is correct, it results in a single, private, protective agency which is itself a de facto " state ". Thus anarcho-capitalism may only exist for a limited period before a minimalist state emerges.

When Ludwig Von Mises read Atlas Shrugged, he was so impressed by her criticism of bureaucrats that he wrote her a " fan letter " : Atlas was " not merely a novel. It is also—or may I say first of all—a cogent analysis of the evils that plague our society, a substantiated rejection of the ideology of our self-styled ' intellectuals ' and a pitiless unmasking of the insincerity of the policies adopted by governments and political parties. It is a devastating exposure of the ' moral cannibals ', the ' gigolos of science ' and of the ' academic prattle ' of the makers of the ' anti-industrial revolution '. You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them : you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the effort of men who are better than you " !!
SUMMARY Atlas Shrugged is a 1957 novel by Ayn Rand. Rand's 4h and last novel, it was also her longest and the one she considered to be her magnum opus in the realm of fiction writing. Atlas Shrugged includes elements of science fiction, mystery and romance and it contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works of fiction.
The book depicts a dystopian United States, wherein many of society's most prominent and successful industrialists abandon their fortunes and even the nation, in response to aggressive new regulations, whereupon most vital industries collapse. The title is a reference to Atlas, a Titan described in the novel as " the giant who holds the world on his shoulders ". The significance of this reference appears in a conversation between the characters Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, in which d'Anconia asks Rearden what advice he would give Atlas upon seeing that " the greater [the titan's] effort, the heavier the world bore down on his shoulders ". With Rearden unable to answer, d'Anconia gives his own response : " To shrug ".
The theme of Atlas Shrugged, as Rand described it, is " the role of man's mind in existence ". The book explores a number of philosophical themes from which Rand would subsequently develop Objectivism. In doing so, it expresses the advocacy of reason, individualism, capitalism, and the failures of governmental coercion.
Atlas Shrugged received largely negative reviews after its 1957 publication, but achieved enduring popularity and consistent sales (10 000 000 books sold !!!!!) in the following decades.
She is known for her 2 best-selling novels, The Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism.
Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926. She had a play produced on Broadway in 1935–1936. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead.
In 1957, she published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own magazines and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982. Rand advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism, and rejected altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, instead supporting laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights.
In art, Rand promoted romantic realism. She was sharply critical of most philosophers and philosophical traditions known to her, except for some Aristotelians and classical liberals.
Literary critics received Rand's fiction with mixed reviews, and academia generally ignored or rejected her philosophy, though academic interest has increased in recent decades.
The Objectivist movement attempts to spread her ideas, both to the public and in academic settings. She has been a significant influence among libertarians and American conservatives.
