On Communism

On the Mises community forums, Byzantine comments,

So yeah, I think communism is just pie-in-the-sky, like Shangri-La or the Big Rock Candy Mountain.  It is impossible in a world of scarcity and subjective value.

Which made me think how ironic communism is.

Without scarcity, there would be no purpose for communism, and due to scarcity, it is impossible.

The Constitution of Zero Authority

These days, I cringe every time some minarchist or Objectivist invokes the US Constitution in debate.

It is just a piece of paper. It has no authority. There are no citizens.

Most arguments for the state rest on externalities.  Is there a bigger externality than the state?  Does any other institution or organization create more property rights violations?

Wake up from your comfortable lies and hand-me-down mythologies.

Max Keiser just lost his mind

Max Keiser just called for a boycott with a $1 million prize to destroy the stock value of Whole Foods on the Alex Jones show. He’s screaming and ranting right now. He’s targeting the free marketers and defending the state and its oligarchy.

Max has made a fool of himself on the health care debate recently, and I meant to post about that, but haven’t been able to get inspired to post lately, so it has gone without refutation.

Sad stuff.

Alex just pushed back, and its about time.   Max has been slipping off the deep end for awhile.

Might be time to boycott Max Keiser and his progressive socialism.
