"Since production must always precede predation, the free market is anterior to the State. The State has never been created by a 'social contract'; it has always been born in conquest and exploitation." - Murray Rothbard, ***Anatomy of The State*** (2009) p. 16.

"Rights pertain only to individual men. There is no such thing as minority rights, States' rights, 'civil' rights, or any other form of collective rights. The initiation of force against the collection is really the initiation of force against the individuals of which the collective is composed, because the collective has no existence apart from the individuals who compose it. Therefore, there are no collective rights—there are only the rights which every individual has to be free from the coercive actions of others." - Morris and Linda Tannehill, ***The Market For Liberty*** (2010) p. 12 #Agorism #Agorist #AnCap #AnarchoObjectivism #Objectivism #Libertarian #Antistate #Individualism #UnalienableRights #NonAggressionPrinciple #NAP #AynRand #Rand #Rothbard #Hoppe #Hoppean #Quotestr

"The anarchist society would probably not develop or even own nuclear weapons...Because they would gain nothing from foreign conquest—since this would constitute theft and would be fully prosecuted within the anarchist courts—the owners of defense agencies would have no reason to spend money on weapons that were ill-suited to tactical defense. Precision of weaponry would be of paramount importance, since battles would be fought near or amidst a defense agency’s customers." - Robert P.

"The fear that (under market anarchy) private individuals would replace politicians, overlooks the true causes of state mischief. Unlike feudal monarchs, democratic rulers don’t actually own the resources (including human) that they control. Furthermore, the duration of their rule (and hence control of these resources) is very uncertain. For these reasons, politicians and other government employees do not exercise much care in maintaining the (market) value of the property in their jurisdiction. shareholders of a private company, however, have every interest in choosing personnel and policies to maximize the profitability of the firm. All the horrors of the State—onerous taxation, police brutality, total war—are not only monstrous, but they’re also grossly inefficient. It would never be profitable for anarchist insurance and legal firms to mimic the policies set by governments." - Robert P.

Reading has helped me feel much better. It's a shame that literacy isn't encouraged as much in society.

It turns out that my dog was much worse health than I was thinking. He had a tumor in his body that meant he didn't have much time left. He passed away tonight. I may have to take a short break from posting. View quoted note →

My dog might have a hernia. He's been quite sick over the last couple of days but he's at a vet now getting attention. More updates soon.

It's infuriating how statists fail to comprehend the concepts of assumption of risk and the NAP. #Agorism #Agorist #AnCap #Libertarian #Antistate #Antigovernment #Individualism #BodilyAutonomy #2A #RightToBearArms #ShallNotBeInfringed

"Agorism is the only philosophy that explains why, in an East German alley, a hooker and a Bible smuggler ducking into the same doorway to avoid the police not only won’t turn each other in but are also both acting right and proper." - J.
