When we debate which faction should wield state power, we’re arguing over who gets to hold the leash, while missing that the leash itself is the problem. Real economic and social power belongs to those creating value, not those regulating its creation.

The question isn’t who should control the machinery of government, but how quickly we can reduce that machinery to its minimal necessary functions…protecting rights, enforcing contracts, preventing coercion. Everything beyond that is just different factions taking turns standing in the way.

Get out of our way!
