In this post we analyzed them from a religious, legal as well as politico–economic–philosophical point of view. The short version? None…

What does it really mean? Today, we are going to explore this fallacy. Let's being from the beginning.

Literally. We don't know if you have noticed, dear reader, but in whichever country you may reside you will find that government–owned business are literally not your business.

It is a fully round scam that's being gone since socialism was invented.…

A few days back the French newspaper Le Monde reported two events that very clearly epitomize the conflicted nature of people, their level of brainwashing and their political evolution.

This mess of websites is also accompanied by the usual do-good understand-nothing pseudo-socialistic useful idiots that always pop-up like mushrooms after the rain. They all demand that taxpayers pay to…
