    Texas Gets One Step Closer to Leaving US https://www.newsweek.com/texas-secession-question-2024-ballot-1848890 {Andrew Stanton | 01 December 2023} Advocates for Texas' secession from the United States believe they are on the verge of scoring a crucial victory. The Texas Republican Party's executive committee is set to vote over the weekend on which ballot propositions voters will decide during the Republican primary elections in March 2024. One measure would ask Republican voters, "Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?" Ahead of the vote, the Texas Nationalist Movement, an organization that supports Texas' independence from the U.S., warned the GOP they have enough signatures to force a vote on the question of whether they support secession.

    Why are they so desperate to silence him? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVRbGd_t3OU {Decoy Voice | 08 December 2023} Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy debated the rest of the GOP POTUS hopefuls, but somehow his platform is absolutely melting down the establishment media like CNN. But why are they so adamant about dismissing a theory that is basically been a cornerstone of the Democrats platform? I thought this was a good thing liberal voters?

    The Oregon Problem | Mark Thornton https://odysee.com/@mises:1/the-oregon-problem-mark-thornton:c {Mises Media | 09 December 2023} The Wall Street Journal reported last month that the ballot initiative to decriminalize all drugs in the state of Oregon is failing, and that efforts are underway to recriminalize hard drugs. Mark points out that decriminalizing drug possession does nothing to improve black market production of drugs, which makes drugs much more dangerous to consume. More importantly, it is Oregon's socialist ideology that coddles homelessness and open hard drug use that is the real problem for the good citizens of the state—and is not helping the drug addicts either. The solution is for society—the nexus of private property owners—to reassert its will.

There are other instances, as well. She may not have been best pleased that they booked Dave as the inaugural guest on her new podcast. Or maybe she was, for the sake of whatever publicity internecine libertarian melodramas might be worth.

    I agree, 100%. But until that movement coalesces into something actually functional, we're going to have to work with people we don't agree with on certain things. Hell, even then we're going to have to work with people we don't agree with on certain things. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were as far apart politically as Thomas Massie and Ted Cruz, I'd say. Maybe even more so. Yet we're going to need Ted Cruz if we're going to make this work..,

    Cap is providing snark and sarcasm to this conversation. Yeah, you can make a point with sarcasm, but odds are it's not gonna change a mind. This is a conundrum being forced upon us, and at some point it WILL require taking sides, and being bedfellows with folks who aren't 100% aligned with us, ideologically. Anything else is just herding cats.

    It's true that government is not the State, but the common man thinks the two are the same, so I use them that way in casual conversation. Rothbard's definition of the State is nearly identical to Bourne's and Oppenheimer's, and I think they are all good ways to think about it and distinguish it from the government. The wikipedia page on Voluntaryism is pretty good IMHO. gtg for now, but feel free to keep this conversation going if you like. It's pretty interesting.

    Voluntaryism maintains that participation in government can and should be entirely voluntary. This does not necessitate abolition of government(which anarchy requires), but a "perestroika" (restructuring) of government so that individuals can choose how they want to interact with government, if at all. The wikipedia summary is pretty good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntaryism and the Voluntaryist manifesto is a great read (though google can't seem to find it anymore). There are also back issues of the now-defunct "The Voluntaryist" newsletter published online on several sites. Is there an easy way to save pms to text files or something? I have to clean out my box, but I don't want to waste a lot of time if I don't have to.

Law Without Taxation

by Wesker1982 on 07-26-2012 at 02:25 PM
When most people are exposed to the idea of a society organized without taxation, they often jump to the conclusion that the services provided by government would no longer exist. After it is proposed that these services would still exist, but they would be provided by voluntary organizations, they assume only problems and chaos could ensue. Warlords, crooked arbitration, justice for only the rich… surely these are unavoidable consequences of a society without taxation!

These voluntarily

Taxation is Theft (a response to a few criticisms). Happy Theft Day!

by Wesker1982 on 04-17-2012 at 05:21 PM
Taxation is theft, purely and simply even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. It is a compulsory seizure of the property of the State’s inhabitants, or subjects. – Murray Rothbard
Here are a few dictionary definitions of tax:

  1. a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes,property, sales, etc. (dictionary.com)

Ron Paul and Private Courts
