Seeking direct control of the medium of exchange and it's creation has and will always be one of the first goals any would be statesmen/warlord seeks. They dress it up as creating economic stability despite the fact that history shows this to be the cause of economic instability. In today's show I give 3 examples from history going back as far as the Roman Empire to how this is true. History has given us many warnings and examples of this kind of stuff from Anglo-Saxon Kings and their Game of Thrones styled politics to Irish Kings and Roman Emperors. At it's heart, controlling the creation of money is not about economic stability but creating wealth for the political elite at the expense of everyone else.Æthelberht II and his CoinsThe Earliest English Kings by D.P.

Have you ever debated a left libertarian or socialist and been confused by the terms they use? Have you ever asked for a definition on a term only to have them change the subject or ignore the request for clarification? Well today's episode is about defining terms and one term in particular: State Capitalism. When you really try and think about the term, you see it for what it is... A really lazy attempt at deflecting the failures of their ideas.Episode 122 – Private Property Means Self OwnershipEpisode 119 – How to Annihilate Socialist and Communist ArgumentsEpisode 111 – Democratic Socialism, Venezuela and Dog MeatLogical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

The Senate recently passed a bill that would make women register for the draft as soon as 2018. Many are saying this is "equality" and "fair". Anytime those words are used by government, just know that the opposite is meant. The right thing to do is not to make everyone equally enslaved but to abolish enslavement all together. Today's episode argues for this principle.Senate Votes to Require Women to Register for the DraftSenate: Women Must Register for the DraftMandatory Draft Registration: A Victory For Women?Drafting Women Means Equality in SlaveryFor a New Liberty by Murray RothbardOther Stuff:Logical Anarchy MerchandiseTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Recently I had a conversation with a friend about the US Constitution. They were in disagreement with me as to whether or not the Constitution was a bind document. I of course view as a statist document that has no legitimacy.

Estoppel is a principle that says that a previous action can "estop" someone from making an assertion that would make the action and the statement contradictory.

I said I wouldn't do it but I did anyways. More information has come out about the shooting in Orlando and I really felt that it needed more libertarian/anarcho-capitalist commentary. The statist are masters of disinformation and lying.

I have done multiple episodes on gun control and how it will never work, makes us less safe, and restricts personal liberty. Well yesterday there was another shooting t UCLA where a student by the name of Mainak Sarkar murdered his teacher with a 9mm pistol and then turned the weapon on himself. The thing is that all of the desired restrictions are already in place. California has some of the most obtrusive gun laws in the nation and yet violence still occurs.Episode 2 – Gun ControlEpisode 31 – The Power of Words and the Rhetoric of Gun ControlEp 11 Is Gun Control the Answer?New details in deadly shooting on UCLA campusDetails emerge about gunman, victim in UCLA murder-suicideUCLA shooting: Police ID gunmanU.S. Arms Sales Make Up Most of Global MarketThe U.S. Is Still No.1 at Selling Arms to the WorldTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

Can you own your body but not own anything else?

Voting doesn't work. Not only that but it's ethical and moral nature is questionable at best. But agorism can work and it doesn't require principled anarcho-capitalists and libertarians to sacrifice their principles. Abolishing government through the political process is a rigged game. But destroying the state with a thousand cuts while showing people that voluntary exchange can work accomplishes two things. It shows the power of the market and it get's people away from running to the state to support.Why Voting for Freedom Won’t WorkNon-Voting ValidationHow to Start Doing AgorismTom Woods Liberty ClassroomInterested in Bitcoin as an alternative to US Dollars?

I recently had a person make a comment that they like some of what Austrian economics theorizes but they dislike the Austrian position on sweatshops. They said argued that sweatshops are worse than slavery and this episode attempts to prove otherwise.

I had a conversation with someone who likes a lot of what voluntaryism is about but is afraid of the implications in capitalism. They were trying to prove to me that we can have voluntaryism without capitalism. I just don't see that as possible at all.
