Murray Rothbard is well known as an opponent of warfare perpetrated by states. This includes acts of war by states against other states, as well as acts of war by states against non-state organizations and individuals. Consequently, Rothbard historical scholarship and his political commentary is characterized by consistent opposition to aggressive warfare and imperialism as practiced by states in general, and by the United States government in...

How the Nanny Campus Will Fight to Keep Taxpayers Hostage
The student loan crisis will end, “not with a bang but with a whimper.” After the presidential election, student debt will remain an embarrassing and thorny issue. Both parties have DNA at this crime scene. Neither party is in control. The prime mover in all of this is the “Nanny Campus” and a captured Education Department. Universities are the engine room of this education industrial-complex. Once accepted to university, FAFSA makes few...

The State Cannot Give What Its Citizens Have Not Made
Often the arguments in support of the state are grounded on the state’s ability to restrict “the bad” in society, or to defend from other states in a defensive war. While it is true that individuals harmful to the health and property of others are the main problem that a society faces, arguments for a centralized power to have any positive effect on this issue are slim at best.In defense of the area in control of a state, history has shown that...

William Rawle and Secession
The issue of secession has been present in American history since the Declaration of Independence—itself an act of secession followed by a war for independence! The debate continued, involving discussions of National versus Compact Theory, the nature of the Union, the true vision of the Founders, under what circumstances secession might be legitimate, how a territory could theoretically secede, etc. All these things were discussed before, during,...

Without Assad, Syria Will Fall Apart
As President Bashar al-Assad flees Syria, neocons and Zionists celebrate throughout the world, while those who will truly suffer—the people of Syria—will be left to clean up the mess of American and Israeli ambitions. Despite the accusations against Bashar al-Assad, those who have replaced him are much worse—the Hay’at Tahir al Sham. Formed in 2011, the CSIS claims this group is an al-Qaeda affiliate of Jabhat al-Nusra. In 2018, the State...

Netanyahu’s Seizure of Syrian Land
The recent seizure of Syrian land on the Golan Heights by Israel is an ominous example of expansionism at its worst, in complete violation of property rights, if not a total human rights violation as well. The claim of Benjamin Netanyahu that the Golan will “forever be an inseparable part” of Israel shows utter disregard for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. Netanyahu flippantly defied earlier treaties with Damascus using the...

The Nation’s Reading Instruction Disaster
I first came across the idea of fads within the education system upon reading Reginald Damerall’s book Education Smoking Gun. In it, Damerall details the total lack of scholarship in the education colleges, which leads to a vulnerability to faddishness in teaching. Teachers are led away from time tested teaching methods to methods that seem more exciting, more progressive, and less intellectual, in an effort to be more inclusive and make learning...

A Dubious Victory in Syria
Damascus has fallen. After thirteen years of brutal civil war, Bashar al-Assad—who once vowed to die in Syria—has fled to Moscow, leaving behind a nation in tatters. But Syria’s next chapter may be even darker than its last.As I wrote last year, the recent civil war in Syria, begun in 2011, was primarily a sectarian battle, always simmering but brought to a boil by the wider upheavals in the Arab world at the time and specific igniting events in...

Austrian Economics Explains Why the WNBA Was So Hostile to Caitlin Clark
The 2024-25 basketball season is underway with the National Basketball Association and college men’s and women’s ball nearly a month into the Road to March Madness. One season, however, finished nearly three months ago: the Women’s National Basketball Association.In the 28 seasons it has been in existence, the WNBA always has operated in the basketball off-season during the late spring, summer, and early fall months when the emphasis is on Major...

Bitcoiners’ Guide to Austrian Economics
Austrian economics is a scholarly tradition that consists of a body of theory that explains how an economy works. Austrian economists develop theory a priori, meaning explanations are derived logically from sound starting points (i.e., the “action axiom” to Mises). This means the theory is true and can therefore be used to uncover the actual causalities behind observable phenomena. Economics is, therefore, to “Austrians” a framework for...

What Are We Doing in Syria?
My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost.As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing an army dedicated to establishing an Islamic state in once-secular Syria hardly seems like a good idea to me.As with President George W. Bush’s “Mission...

The Establishment’s “Principles” Are Fake
In the years leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the Democrats and establishment Republicans who wanted to see Joe Biden, and later Kamala Harris, remain in office went all in on one overarching narrative above all: that Donald Trump represented an existential threat to American democracy. Biden’s team and their allies in politics and media repeated this claim day after day, essentially trying to convince millions of Americans that...
