    Correcting common libertarian misconceptions

    Correcting common libertarian misconceptions by Stephan Kinsella

    The video is here, and streamed below; here is the powerpoint presentation (embedded in the link above).


    Quickly scanning the powerpoint slides is a must for some here, who constantly attack/erect strawmen. But also as a nice re-fresher for those who are apt with the philosophy of liberty.

    No...It was a serious question--I really have no idea why he would be banned. He's aggressive, no doubt, but he's one (or was one) of the more logically consistent members of this board.

    Indeed.

    I don't know, Fox, perhaps you should review his last 30 or so posts.

    I'm pretty sure it's a temp ban, anyway.

    I agree. I love the guy, he has a very extensive knowledge of Rothbardian/voluntaryist political theory and Austrian economics. Thankfully it's not a permanent ban. However as I posted before:

    He needs to tone down the aggressiveness to avoid another permanent ban, whether the ban is justified or not. Better a slightly watered down message than none at all.
