ADDICTING PEOPLE
Consider this. As politicians tax, spend and give, economies slow down. This affects allpeople the same; those who were receiving free stuff and those who did not. But as the economy gets more difficult, those who did not take from the government have no choice but to do so to maintain (or at least slow down the decay) in their standards of living. Socialist policies are the only…

We have previously shown how a simple and basic preservation instinct holds most people psychologically prisoners in their own mind (see The Leadership Barrier) preventing them from embracing Libertarianism and freedom. Today we are going to discuss the physical side of the same issue. This issue, however, is far, far darker. The psychological side is our fault and we have nobody to blame. The physical side is entirely their fault…

One of the reasons why bureaucracy is a cancer that is eating our wealth alive is because of their number but, more importantly, their wages. One must consider that, in essence, bureaucrats are producing nothing and consuming 100% of the wealth stolen from us through the unholy trinity: taxation, borrowing and printing in order to pay their wages. There are many websites "out there" that address this issue. Of course,…

One of the first lessons that children learn is to obey their parents. This is, of course, part of our survival instinct. It is hardwired in our brain. It could not be otherwise since if a child would have to understand the world purely through experience, this child would be surely dead. Parents act as temporary safeguards teaching us the basic rules of reality until we reach a point at…

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE
"Of all our freedoms, the right to decide for ourselves over our own property is the most important one." F&P
Voting is the exact opposite of this freedom because it validates and provides legitimacy to people who will subsequently limit our power to make decisions without our knowledge, agreement or consent.
Luckily enough, not all "citizens" vote. Why? The historical reasons include apathy,…

- Churches can educate their congregation to…

ONE WAY STREET
However, there are other questions that we must answer. Why is that this process is one-way only? How is it possible that this process did not happen in the beginning? Why is it happening only now? Well, it did happen in the past. In mathematical terms this process is known as a geometric progression but in sections close to the (0,0) coordinate it resembles a linear progression.…

One of the many reasons why we became Austro-Libertarians (of the Absolute persuasion) is that sooner or later we (as everybody else) hit the limits imposed to us by the state. Some people experience this limit every day at almost every step they take (when they are permitted to take them). On the surface, there are many apparent reasons for the creation of such artificial barriers, but such restrictions can…

Since this whole concept of modern democracy started about 200 years -or so- ago, we have seen an increasingly relentless curtailment of our freedoms by governments. Essentially, you don't have any more of them. Your freedom is completely gone. This is true even when new governments are formed through revolutions. It would seem that nowadays governments come with pre-packaged freedom-busting implementation kits. Take a look at the places that have…
