    Peter Schiff...ancap or statist?

    Plenty of people hate him for not openly defying the government like his father. Some call him a statist, claiming he has admitted as much.

    Is there any video or articles where Schiff explained his views?

    Who cares?

    If he wants less government he is my ally until we reach a level of government where one of us doesn't want to reduce it further and the other one does.

    Great point. Asked just because one of the local ancaps here criticizes Schiff for it.

    I think Rockwell said in an article that the difference between minarchy and anarchy is irrelevant until you get to minarchy.

    Schiff just wants to scare people into buying his products. He is a capitalist. "Stocks gonna crash next year! Hyperinflation! Gold to $5000 an ounce!" That will happen as soon as 2009! Or 2010. Or 2011. Or some next year.

    I started out as an Ike , Goldwater , Ron Paul , Constitutional Conservative type Republican sort of and then evolved into a Black Flag type anarchist . I think of Danke as a Somalian Kidnapper and Zip as LBJ .

    Seems to me that Schiff saw the circles that his father associated with and saw an opportunity to profit off of them without actually joining them. Worked out pretty well for him.

    From everything I've seen, Schiff is a minarchist.

    It would be odd for a person engaged in reality (as an investment advisor) to be an anarcho-capitalist.

    I'm pretty sure anarcho-capitalist societies would have investment advisors, but I think he is a minarchist.
