View quoted note → And to those who argue that it's not politically feasible for institutions—of any kind—to operate under such a protocol, I simply ask: then why the hell do we all despise the idea of a world government? Position of each state toward any other state/states is another often ignored example of #anarchy #grownostr
When people say #anarchy has never existed in human history, they often define it poorly. Anarchy is not a political system, a society, or a geographical entity—it’s a #protocol by which human beings interact without unjustified force. You should look for it everywhere, and you’ll easily find it! Just consider how music has evolved, how foods and recipes have been created, how mathematics has advanced through individual contributions, or even the history of #Bitcoin 's whitepaper. These are all examples of anarchy—voluntary, self-regulated, and decentralized coordination. Anarchy has existed in nearly everything we enjoy! #grownostr
View quoted note → Yet, in his great piece The Betrayal of the American Right, Rothbard goes beyond merely condemning U.S. foreign policy—he SOLELY blames the U.S. and even exonerates the Soviets for their crimes during the Cold War! And I'm like come on Murray, Be open minded but not so much that I quote from his book: "... the United States (with the aid of Britain) was solely responsible for the Cold War, in a continuing harassment and aggression against a Soviet Union whose foreign policy had been almost pathetic in its yearning for peace with the West at virtually any price." #grownostr #libertarianism #history #rothbard
View quoted note → And partly they’re right: Stillman’s argument for international hegemony and interventions has been to protect American businesses operating abroad. But one might ask, why not hire private armies to do that? It's not about defending a country's borders; it's about having the right to protect a business abroad. Private armies would likely have been more peace-driven, as they had no incentive to conquer for political reasons, and they would have been much more efficient.
#Mises despised the Nazis more than any other state, Ayn #Rand loathed the Russian commies the most, so I suppose it makes sense that #Rothbard and Rothbardians would blame the U.S. for nearly every major and minor international conflict throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
