Urban renewal demolishes communities. Slum clearance projects displace residents without replacing affordable housing, worsening poverty.

The poor pay for corporate welfare. Tariffs, subsidies, and bailouts funded by taxes transfer wealth to businesses at the expense of low-income consumers.

Private roads would use dynamic pricing. Congestion fees during peak hours would reduce traffic and fund maintenance, unlike free but overcrowded highways.

Central banks fuel inequality. By manipulating money supply, they enrich financial institutions while ordinary workers face stagnant wages.

The number of groundbreaking projects invented at @Sovereign Engineering is incredible. If you're looking for new ideas, this is it. If you're looking for a co-founder, this is it. If you're looking for your part in the revolution, this is it.

Education privatized would dismantle state indoctrination. When families control their children’s learning, they escape the government’s agenda of obedience and conformity.

The American Revolution wasn’t just a political break from Britain, it was a radical assertion of individual sovereignty, rooted in the idea that no one has the right to dominate another’s person or property.

Aggressing against personal property or liberty for the sake of an abstract "common good" is inherently unjust.

The concept of "public goods" like roads or courts assumes the state alone can provide them. But voluntary cooperation and market innovation would outperform bureaucratic monopolies, which exist primarily to extract wealth and legitimize coercion.

By defining aggression as the initiation of violence or its threat, it dismantles justifications for taxation, conscription, and regulation, framing them as institutionalized theft or enslavement.

Utilitarianism erodes libertarian principles by making liberty contingent on expediency. If freedom is only justified when it serves "the greater good," it becomes negotiable in every crisis or conflict, opening the door to state control under the guise of pragmatism.

The state’s alliance with intellectuals is a tool for perpetuating its power. By enlisting scholars, educators, and media figures to justify its actions as necessary or benevolent, the state transforms critical thought into propaganda.

Free speech and property rights are inseparable. A newspaper’s right to publish depends on owning printing presses, paper, and distribution networks.

Education under state control indoctrinates obedience rather than fosters critical thinking. By monopolizing schools, governments ensure future generations accept coercion as normal, perpetuating their own power through generations of compliant citizens.

The state’s legitimacy hinges on mystification. It recasts its crimes, war, conscription, confiscation, as virtues like "national service" or "fiscal responsibility," using language to obscure the reality of aggression and exploitation.
