“The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State…is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State.”
-Murray Rothbard
Money is not just a tool—it is a social institution that emerges from human action and underlies the structure of civilization.

Conflict is not unavoidable. However, it is nonsensical to consider the institution of a state as a solution to the problem of possible conflict, because it is precisely the institution of a state which first makes conflict unavoidable and permanent.
- Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Economic history is a long record of government policies that failed because they were designed with a bold disregard for the laws of economics.
- Ludwig von Mises
The wise man knows he doesn't know. The fool doesn't know he doesn't know.
A state is a territorial monopolist of compulsion, an agency which may engage in continual, institutionalized property rights violations and the exploitation of private property owners through expropriation, taxation, and regulation
- Hans Herman Hoppe
Stay humble, stack sats, and starve the State

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success
