Just War and Lost Cause Mythology
Rothbardian libertarianism upholds liberty as an ethical and moral standard, and for this reason it is often criticized for being idealistic and utopian. Addressing this critique, Duncan Whitmore argues that the mere fact that we live in a statist society, in which all our liberties are under siege does not mean the fight for liberty is a lost cause. His point is that “the seeming remoteness of victory today does not mean that victory will never...

Why the Bureaucracy Keeps Getting Bigger
[This article is adapted from “Bureaucracy and the Civil Service in the United States.”]Bureaucracy is necessarily hierarchical, first because of the Iron Law of Oligarchy, and secondly because bureaucracy grows by adding more subordinate layers. Since, lacking a market, there is no genuine test of “merit” in government’s service to consumers, in a rule-bound bureaucracy seniority is often blithely adopted as a proxy for merit. Increasing...

Revisiting James Burnham
Neoconservatism was born out of former Trotskyites that became anti-Communists at the end of the Second World War. After the campus protests and student movements of the late 1960s and early ‘70s, their repulsion to the waving of the Little Red Books and protests at Ivy League schools shifted these New Deal Truman Democrats into the hands of the Republican Party. There, early neoconservatives like Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz made the...

The Last Metaphysical Right
The philosopher and teacher of rhetoric Richard Weaver is best known today for his book Ideas Have Consequences, which was one of the founding works of post-World War II American conservatism. Weaver argued in the book that the nominalism of the medieval philosopher William of Ockham produced a decline in Western civilization that has continued until the present day, and he called for a spiritual revival to stop the decline and, if possible, to...

Nazism, Fascism, and Communism: Warring Sons to a Common Father
What if two of history’s most infamous ideologies—Nazism and Fascism—shared more in common fundamentally with Communism than we often recognize? Recently, a chairwoman of a German political party controversially claimed that Hitler was a communist. While this assertion is incorrect, much of the criticism it drew focused only on the visible differences between Hitler and Communists, leaving their deeper ideological similarities unexamined. By...

No, Federal Contractors Are Not More Efficient than Federal Employees
In late January, the Trump administration issued a series of executive orders that paused Treasury payments to a variety of federal contractors and grantees. These orders also often cancelled contracts with NGOS and other contractors altogether. Soon afterward, we began to see countless media stories about job losses at private NGOs and for-profit federal contractors. Many were so heavily reliant on revenue from taxpayer cash that they immediately...
