If you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place. - Murray Rothbard

We are living in a sick society filled with people who would not directly steal from their neighbor but who are willing to demand that the government do it for them. - William L. Comer

No amount of idealism can justify the monopolization of power; only a decentralized, voluntary order of free markets and individual sovereignty can truly safeguard liberty and prosperity.

no state is the best state - @jack

Logic alone cannot free a man from a flawed belief that he did not adopt through logic in the first place.

The concept of a 'just' or 'fair' price is devoid of any scientific meaning; it is a disguise for wishes, a striving for a state of affairs different from reality. - Ludwig von Mises

In the war of ego, the loser always wins.

In a world full of Karens, be the Dagny.

Our politicians tell us we are free, even though most governments take over 50% of what we earn. They claim we get services that we need for our hard-earned money, even though we could buy the same services at half the price from the private sector. Today, we ridicule the slave-owners' claim that they "gave back" to their slaves by housing, clothing, feeding them, and bestowing upon them the "benefits" of civilization instead of leaving them in their native state. We see this as a self-serving justification for exploitation. In the future, we will view being forcibly taxed to pay for things we don't want, such as bombs for the Middle East, subsidies for tobacco, other people's abortions, regulations that put small businesses out of business, prisons for people trying to feel good, keeping life-saving medications out of the hands of dying people, etc., as taking away our freedom. When even a small portion of our lives is spent enslaved, that part tends to dominate the rest of our time. If we don't put our servitude first as we structure the remainder of our lives, our masters will make sure we regret it. How much freedom do we need to survive and how much do we need to thrive? - Mary J. Ruwart
