Lessons From Atlas Shrugged: The Evil Money-Making Scientist
I published an article earlier in December in which I set out to release a new series of articles recounting various lessons embedded in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. The book is full of nuances that can be further explored to extract critical truths. As promised, I will continue this series here. In this article, we will discuss the “evil money-making scientist.” In this day in age, almost… → Read More
Taming the Libertarian Conscience
This week my guest is, Atilla Sulker and we discuss libertarianism and what the movement needs going forward. Atilla is a bright young journalist published at the best libertarian news sites. We discuss immigration, the age old debate between “thick” and “thin” libertarianism, anti establishment candidates vs libertarian purists, the impending collapse here in the US, secession, Atilla’s… → Read More
Tulsi’s Fight Against Big Tech
Recently, Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard went on Tucker Carlson, defending her decision to sue google for suspending her campaign ads. According to Gabbard, this move on behalf of google constitutes “election interference”. Gabbard further went on to say that her lawsuit would underscore the extensive power of big tech, and shed light on its violation of free speech. Gabbard’s… → Read More
In Defense of Tucker Carlson
Amid rumors that Tucker Carlson may have suddenly been suspended off of Fox News, some are taking this claim even further, predicting that he may be replaced by Ben Shapiro. While these claims have remained only rumors, it is important to not lose sight of the importance of Carlson and his platform. Whether these rumors become reality or not, I fully stand by this defense of Carlson. Many small… → Read More
Liberty Across the Globe
Last summer, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Jozef Martiniak at the 2018 Mises University. Dr. Martiniak came to Auburn all the way from Slovakia and he had many great stories to tell about his experience growing up in a Cold War era Czechoslovakia. My conversations with Dr. Martiniak not only revealed an interesting story from the perspective of someone who experienced socialism firsthand,… → Read More
The Rothbard-Rockwell Synthesis
I recently published two articles on LRC, titled “Taming the libertarian conscience” and “Waiting for the collapse”. Both of these articles addressed libertarian strategy, the elephant in the room. Just how do we get to liberty? What are the proper steps and protocols? Regardless of how well thought out libertarian models of the ideal stateless or minimal state society are, these are crucial… → Read More
Waiting for the Collapse
In my previous article, I came to the conclusion that for libertarians to be successful in realizing their ends, they must change their method, and do so significantly. Putting trust in the political box and Congress has ultimately failed in advancing the freedom movement, and must be abandoned for good. Perhaps the best hope libertarians have is to wait for the impending collapse, and seize… → Read More
Taming the Libertarian Conscience
The world of libertarian thought is far from being insufficient in regards to ideas. Interdisciplinary scholars have emerged all over the world with vast interest in this doctrine, and have built upon the works of such great scholars as Rothbard and Mises. Rothbard himself was in fact an exponent of Mises, and to this day, thousands of great minds continue to carry the torch and bring in a… → Read More
The Double Edged Sword
In a world of increasing globalization and increasing resistance to it at the same time, via populism, nationalism is beginning to rise. Nationalism, in many ways is seen as the antidote to globalization, so to speak. Populism has began to sweep across Europe and the United States recently, as a reaction to what are seen as the “global elites”. While nationalism is a powerful tool in combating… → Read More
Reassessing the Exile
Individuals from all corners of the political spectrum have been stirred up by the recent bannings of various figures including Alex Jones and Louis Farrakhan. Some have praised these bans for providing good constraints on what they deem “fake news” or “hate speech”. Others have attacked these bans for being influenced by nefarious motives that are contra free speech. The debate regarding the… → Read More
Utilitarians
The freedom movement in America today can be divided into two main camps- deontological and utilitarian. The former tends to be in favor of the age old natural rights tradition, while the latter judges the effectiveness of the freedom movement in terms of how much prosperity it leads to. While it is rather easy to adopt the latter position, rooted in the argument that humans naturally tend to… → Read More
Net Neutrality and Entrepreneurship
Information flows through the internet as cars flow through roads and highways. As a private road owner would be able to regulate traffic on his road, a private ISP, in the context of a free market, would be able to regulate internet traffic. Like physical roads, the logistics of the internet work in such a way that traffic congestion can become a problem. In the physical realm, potential… → Read More
