This is our Burning Libertarian Question (BLQ) of the day. In a sense, Libertarianism is a branch of Classical Liberalism or could even be classified as Classic or Quasi-Classic (Almost-Classic) Liberalism. Its premise is quite simple. The idea is that every human being is the only master of his/her freedom. Other than the laws of physics, this freedom cannot be limited by anything else other than a person’s volition (will).

In a sense, it would seem that the Egyptian government is following in the footsteps of their forefathers. Enter the law 76/1973 which mandates that all females and males graduating from colleges and higher institutes must “apply” for public service and serve for one year. Emphasis on “must”. The ridiculously and bombastically named Ministry of Social Solidarity is there to enforce this “law”. For “the greater good”, you know?
Now,…

On Tuesday the left-oriented council of the city of Reykjavik’s (Iceland) approved a boycott of Israeli products until the occupation of the Palestinian territory is brought to an end. Israel responded by qualifying this action as a “volcano of hatred”. OK. Those are the facts. If you are not laughing your guts out by now, you are probably dead… or in coma.
Iceland dictating to Israel?
Seriously?
For real?

We have spent a considerable amount of time writing about economic issues; mainly about the incessant and incredible stupidity of your elected “representatives” and their minions the un-elected un-representatives (apparatchiks) who actually control the economy. And yes. This is a runoff sentence, so don’t tell you English professor about it. Since then, we have dealt with a number of subjects foreign to this topic, but must now return to it.…

Political System Change – The Pain Barrier

We are advocates of change, no doubt about it. Yet, most people do not want change. Most people just want the pain to stop. This is a very human reaction indeed. We are pain-averse or, in Austrian Economic terms, we avoid “uneasiness”. As such, trying to convince people to not only accept but foster change, political change, is an almost impossible task. Well… let’s be specific. It is impossible. Period.…

MORE MULTICULTURALISM
And then we have the seemingly opposing view of the finance minister Stubb who said “Multiculturalism is an asset. That’s all I have to say”. Ridiculous! Preposterous! Laughable! ROTFLMAO!!!
Yet another politician using the “multiculturalism” card to win votes.
As we explained above, multiculturalism is an arbitrary and synthetic abstraction that has no root in reality. Saying that such a thing “is an asset” is like saying that…

With Syria at war, Syrian emigration became a real problem for EU countries. Some of them will “generously” grant entry up to 1 million people while others (such as Finland) will show their humanitarian side by allowing about 30.000… give or take. Of course, we don’t care why Finland is behaving as such a penis (we would have said “dick” but this isn’t polite enoug). What we care about is…
