“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

“Quando o espólio se torna um modo de vida para um grupo de homens em uma sociedade, ao longo do tempo eles criam para si mesmos um sistema jurídico que o autoriza e um código moral que o glorifica.”

The loot f*cking of the American Empire.
Great quote. Still we are to much of a niche that cannot united across freedom communities. What we can do to make a real change?
Perfect description of Zimbabwe and South Africa. They have totally gutted those countries and indeed have create a legal system to enable it and a moral code to defend it.
Healthy feedback mechanism are necessary. They are natural so we won't have to implement something "new", we don't have to "work on a solution". just do less of the bullshit we are doing today.
i.e.
- be less afraid to speak up when it feels right.
- be less dependent on powerful people and more connected to trusted ones.
- speak less but listen more.
Thank you for quoting the French precursor of Austrian economics 😉
Great perspective. Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, writer, and classical liberal advocating free markets and free trade, famous for satirizing protectionism - something we could use today!
But he was before Austrian Economics. Carl Menger founded the Austrian School with his 1871 book "Principles of Economics." It originated out of Vienna's academic scene.
Unfortunately the Elites understood they could control money and won the money battlefield in the late 1800's (Austrians lost). This arguably led to the system we have today which cause two World Wars and endless forever wars (all paid for with fiat).
It can't end soon enough! Were we would have been with real money!!!
