Many millions of Americans fall for the government propaganda that uses wars as excuses to eviscerate American freedoms, spend trillions of dollars and rack up gargantuan deficits that will impose a heavy financial burden for decades to come.

These were the defenders of liberty we now call “classical liberals” or “radical liberals” or “libertarians.” Indeed, the...

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

Libertarians understand — or should understand — that military conscription is a form of slavery or involuntary servitude. In fact, everyone should understand this. And yet conscription has been employed by the U.S. government for the past 161 years, ever since Abraham Lincoln signed the first federal conscription act into law in March 1863, enslaving thousands of American men.For those who are killed in battle or executed for desertion,...

Wisdom from Our Anti-War Libertarian Forerunners

2024-08-30

by

2024-08-30

From its earliest decades, the defenders of freedom — known historically as “classical liberals,” “radicals,” and “libertarians,” have sought to reduce and limit the war-making powers of the state. This is an unceasing theme across the ranks of the classical liberals, who come from many different nations and who, by today’s mainstream political standards, would nearly all be considered radical anti-war activists. Below is just a sampling of...

What are some of these pieces and how did they fall into place at that time?Hunt Tooley (HT): To some extent, the state has always used wars to maintain and increase domestic control.Shakespeare assumed as much in the famous instructions the dying Henry IV gives to his son: “Therefore, my Harry, be it thy course...

The Regime’s Wars Are Built on Lies

Americans are increasingly uneasy about their “national” security, and increasingly concerned that war is lapping at our shores. Instead of reducing the risk of harm to America and our interests, the federal government in Washington seems to be seeking it, investing in it, fueling it and lying about it.Congress openly talks about fighting wars and reliably funds them, and we can easily verify that it’s piled billions of dollars into this particular...

I have four children, one of whom is grown, and all of them have grown up under a government that has continually waged elective and aggressive wars. There has never been a time in any of my children’s lives that Washington politicians were not incessantly haranguing the public about how “we are at war” and that anyone who opposes the regime is “with the terrorists,” “a foreign agent,” “unpatriotic,” or “anti-Semitic.” There has never been a time...

It is the antidote to the real and immediate threat to human liberty and society represented by the pernicious social philosophy of progressivism. After the collapse of...

However, that discussion warrants a deeper dive. As we will review, Japan has much to tell us about the future of the U.S. economically. Let’s start with the deficit. Much angst exists over the rise in interest rates. The concern is whether the government can continue to...
