Socialists and communists like to say that poverty is a feature of capitalism. In reality, they are projecting their system's failures on capitalism. Government is what keeps the poor poor and hampers their standard of living. They make both foriegn and domestic individuals in a cycle of poverty through inflationary monetary policy and foreign aid. Aid is just the poor in a rich nation subsidizing the rich in a poor nation.How Much Money Does the US Give KenyaWhy Foreign Aid Is Hurting AfricaPoverty Inc.Logical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

I talk a lot about argumentation ethics and estoppel. They are not bullet proof ideas for sure, but I find the points within these ideas to be very compelling. The Bleeding Heart Libertarian site tried to write a refutation that disproves argumentation ethics in 60 seconds. I will not attempt the same time frame of 60 seconds but I will try to fully present Hoppe's ideas as well why this refutation misses the main point of Hoppe's argument.Hoppe’s Argumentation Ethics Argument Refuted in Under 60 SecondsArgumentation Ethics and Liberty: A Concise GuideA Theory of Socialism and CapitalismThe Economics and Ethics of Private Property: Studies in Political Economy and PhilosophyPunishment and Proportionality: the Estoppel ApproachEpisode 150 – Negative Rights Vs.

On an earlier episode this week I talked about how statists have so many issues with their ideology because they make conclusions based off of false premises. Positive rights and confusing freedom with government privilege are just a few of the false premises they have. Today's episode seeks to sort out the confusion.Negative and positive rightsEpisode 148 – Argumentation Ethics, Estoppel, Synthetic A Priori Propositions and Self-OwnershipEpisode 147 – Conservatives Are Not Really ConservativeLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Saying "Hillary is a corrupt monster" is not a ground breaking statement. It's at the same level as "the sky is blue." But what are the depths of Hillary's corruption and by extension the US government's corruption? She has gained wealth and power by supporting ISIS and other groups, allowed the DNC to manipulate the primaries in order to guarantee for herself the party nomination, as well as allowed her donors to be appointed to Federal positions of power (buying a political office undermines our "sacred" democracy right?). It's clear that if you think Hillary is good, you're suffering from some kind of mental disorder.Leaked DNC Emails Confirm Democrats Rigged Primary, Reveal Extensive Media CollusionLeaked DNC Documents Show Plans To Reward Big Donors With Federal AppointmentsParis strikes astonishing partnership with secret Isis sponsor tied to Hillary ClintonNEW IRAN AND SYRIA 2.DOCAssange: Why I Created WikiLeaks' Searchable Database of 30,000 Emails from Clinton's Private ServerJulian Assange says “1,7

When debating statists, why is there so much heated disagreement? The differences is in the premises of the voluntaryist compared to the statist. The Voluntaryist is making logical deductions of synthetic a priori propositions while the statist is making deductions from false and contradictory premises. Having a false premises or a slightly inaccurate premise can cause all sorts of issues when trying to debate something. But the anarcho-capitalist is working from the concept of self ownership and the action axiom. Both are propositions that cannot be refuted. This creates considerable problems for the statist. Today's episode is all about this concept.An Introduction to Argumentation EthicsA Statist Uses Intellectual Dishonesty to Justify TaxationSelf-Ownership Naturally Implies Property RightsEpisode 128 – Estoppel Applied to Gun ControlEpisode 91 – Synthetic A Priori Propositions And The Action AxiomLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Episode 15 of our live show about mutualism has brought many ancoms out of the wood work to challenge us. I feel like I end up repeating myself but I wanted to share some further problems I have with Anarcho-Syndicalists. They accuse Voluntaryists of not being true "anarchists" because they do not adhere to the same collectivists ideology as them yet call themselves "anarchists" anyways. This "argument" ignores the real and valid critiques anarcho-capitalists bring up regarding "left anarchism". Today's episode further clarifies these issues.Logical Anarchy Podcast LIVE Episode 15 - Mutualism Vs Anarcho-CapitalismLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Today's episode is kind of weird and different as it is something more along the lines of my day job. Art. Modern art is a sad shadow of what art used to be; a quest for the beautiful.

Well it looks like the FBI will not be indicting Hilary Clinton because they feel there was no "criminal intent". But this only highlights how the political elites make rules for the peons to play by that does not apply to themselves.

Empiricism and scienticism is all the rage in many intellectual circles. "Show me the data" they say. They throw out reason and logic in the name of being reasonable and logical. Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of those people. He has said that philosophy is useless and that asking too many questions can get in the way of progress. Since when was asking questions not "scientific" or logical? On top of that, he recently tweeted about his ideal form of government where all policy would be based on the weight of evidence rather than belief. Gee Mr. Tyson, do you mind explaining why you believe all policy should be based on the weight of evidence and not "belief"? What's that now?

We are Capitalists (of the Chicago School) is a facebook page that advocates for free markets and the minimizing of government. The problem I have is when people like this get so focused on data and empiricism that they lose sight of the principles that make libertarianism what it is. When you are so focused on data, you forget that economics is about human action. That is what happened when I chatted with these guys about Brexit. They were arguing for the idea that none of the data warranted the UK leaving the EU and that they should have remained. I found it funny that a bunch of "capitalists" would be advocating for protectionist Keynesian policies. What ensued is a Chicago Vs. Austrian battle of ideas.The Post about Brexit that started thisThe Limits of EmpiricismEp 22 The Donald and ImmigrationEpisode 93 – How Much Money Does the Economy Need?Episode 63 – Austrian Economics and LogicLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Agorism is often scoffed at by libertarians that still cling to the idea that begging the state to limit itself through the statist/socialist system of democracy is a viable method for change. But is it really something to be laughed at? Agorism doesn't involve liberty lovers playing a rigged game with statist. In fact, agorism can easily integrate minarchists and statists into it. Today's episode is all about the practical ways we can ignore the state and encourage others, even statists, to ignore it with us.OpenBazaarWhat is OpenBazaarLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Today's episode is kind of a public service announcement. There are a couple of pages out there that are controlled by a former AnCap named Justin Stout. Justin used to be an AnCap himself but then wanted to run around in the woods and pretend to slay orcs (or whatever it is that Anarcho-Primitivists do). He has kept these AnCap pages running and uses the, to advance the BS AnPrim nonsense he now believes in. AnPrims believe that civilization is evil and that reverting to a hunter-gatherer way of life is how we will all be free. I guess using the internet (a product of civilization) is an irony lost on him.

Statist say the strangest things sometimes. One minute they say they advocate for freedom. The next they are talking about stealing from people, killing those that disagree and calling everyone that disagrees with them "crazy" or "immoral". The contradictions run deep. Today's episode is a continuation of yesterdays where many self refuting and contradictory statements were made.Episode 133 – Privatize the MilitaryEpisode 128 – Estoppel Applied to Gun ControlLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?
