Over at C4SS’ Stateless U in ATP 102, I read and critiqued “An American Experiment in Anarcho-Capitalism: The Not So Wild, Wild West. [PDF]” Does America’s Wild West of the 19th century evidence elements of a successful anarcho-capitalist society? Is it possible to demonstrate the effectiveness of market-provided security services by applying anarcho-capitalist theory to […]
Nonviolence, argues Dr Michael Nagler in the above talk (well worth its 46 minutes), always makes things better, even when we who practice it get hurt or killed. I have to agree. For the more skeptical, think of it this way: at least it’s not making things worse. Consider this: in India, where nonviolent resistance […]

Stateless U at C4SS is very stimulating. They’ve got me reading and writing more than ever. I’m really enjoying it and I’m learning a lot. Their courses are very well done, innovative in fact, inexpensive and I encourage everyone to expand your knowledge of liberty with this warm group of well-educated libertarians. Here’s my first […]
I am sorry I have not previously mustered the courage or motivation to post an update. Frankly, I was frightened out of my wits for some time after I was arrested in Allentown, Pennsylvania on May 11 of this year. Only recently have I started to feel something approaching normal again. The original charge that […]
The wars can be over and done with, but only if you stop supporting the troops, says war resister Matthis Chiroux. Watch his moving speech about ending these disgusting outrages that are american wars of aggression and genocide.
