I feel like a rebel walking the new neighborhood at night. See so many “Pantry” and “Gather” signs.

Most successful revolutions seemed to start as enough people simply wanting to be left alone by the government in order to pursue lower/middle class lifestyles.

Some favorite quotes of Thomas Jefferson:

-The care of every man's soul belongs to himself.

-Excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

-The most sacred of the duties of a government is to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens.

-The best government is that which governs least.

-The power to tax involves the power to destroy.

-The Constitution is a remarkable document, but it is not a perfect document.

-The only legitimate object of government is to do for the people what needs to be done, but which they cannot, by individual effort, do at all, or do so well, for themselves.

-The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

-The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

-The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.

Celebrate your independence from the dollar and stack some sats.

Earnhardt documentary series is incredible.

Black on yellow, kill a fellow.

I hand-picked certain classical liberal/libertarian intellectuals and asked ChatGPT to describe briefly how they debunked Socialism.

Here's what it responded with:

1. Mises – Economic Calculation Problem: Without market-driven prices, socialist economies lack a mechanism for rational resource allocation, leading to inefficiency, waste, and economic collapse due to the impossibility of effective central planning.

2. Hayek – Knowledge Problem: Economic knowledge is decentralised and constantly changing; central planners cannot access or process this information effectively, making socialist planning inherently flawed and inferior to spontaneous order in free markets.

3. Rothbard – Ownership Problem: Socialism divorces ownership from responsibility, resulting in mismanagement, waste, and perverse incentives where resources are depleted rather than preserved, as no individual has direct accountability for their use.

4. Hoppe – Argumentation Ethics: Socialists deny self-ownership and property rights but rely on them when arguing, making socialism philosophically self-contradictory, as rational discourse presupposes individual control over one's body and actions.

5. Bastiat – Seen and Unseen: Socialists ignore unintended consequences, focusing only on immediate benefits while neglecting hidden economic costs, such as wealth destruction, inefficiency, and reduced innovation caused by government intervention.

6. Saifedean – Time Preference: Socialism raises societal time preference by discouraging savings and investment, leading to short-term consumption, economic stagnation, and deterioration of capital accumulation necessary for long-term prosperity and civilization-building.

7. Menger – Subjective Value Theory: Socialism fails because value is subjective, not intrinsic; only free markets can determine prices based on individual preferences, making socialist price-setting arbitrary, inefficient, and economically destructive.

8. Böhm-Bawerk – Capital and Interest: Socialism misunderstands capital structure and time preference, failing to account for how interest rates coordinate production over time, leading to resource misallocation and economic stagnation under central planning. have debunked Socialism.

Nice
