Voluntaryism: Taxation = Theft , Govt = Slavery , Voting = Violence

https://www.governmentisslavery.com/ https://www.governmentisslavery.com/governmentisslavery.pdf 06/21/2019 Taxation is Theft [1], therefore Government is Slavery [2], therefore Voting is an Act of Violence [3]. IF you IGNORE the empirical factuality of these observations, fail to recognize them to be true by logic and definition, or fail to reach the correct and logical conclusion that: it is immoral, wrong, supremely detestable, etc., to condone or participate in "government", then... I propose this is because you have been BRAINWASHED, dumbed-down and indoctrinated to inhibit or disable even consideration of these ideas, never-mind educate yourself and engage enough thought process to actually understand them -- conditioned to group-think rather than taught how to actually think for yourself. With the conditioned reflex of a fish in a school, or a denizen of 'The Matrix [4]', you will probably argue in defense of the very system of our enslavement to mass murderers and unspeakable evil: "government". This sentiment of suckers, typifying the rampant COWARDICE infecting society, is based on a fear and loathing so very glorified by our "culture" of statism: that of personal responsibility to acknowledge truth and act morally. Your IGNORE-ance of these obvious facts is an insult to the entire human race, including yourself, and is on my list of things that are worth being angry about. But I don't expect many to understand or agree, due to pervasive stupidity. No offense to anyone... After all, 99%+ of people on this madhouse planet are insane, supremely ignorant cowards who will accuse me of being the crazy/stupid one. Wake up. Grow a set. Educate yourself...

Friedman [61] Edward P. Stringham [62] Bryan Caplan [63] Stephan Kinsella [64] Adam Kokesh "It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring, and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men's property, which they had not before, as individuals. And whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man, or to his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers, according to the nature of their acts." - [65] Lysander Spooner "The belief in "authority," which includes all belief in "government," is irrational and self- contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality, and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in "authority" is the arch-enemy of humanity." - [66] Larken Rose, [67] The Most Dangerous Superstition "Those who believe that "Authority" is necessary and that it must continue, have actually been duped into believing that human SLAVERY is necessary and must continue in order to prevent Chaos. Violence and Slavery CAN NOT prevent Chaos. Violence and Slavery ARE Chaos. The Fear of the possibility of Chaos IS the Fear of True Freedom" - Mark Passio [68] WhatOnEarthIsHappening.com "The essence of all slavery consists in taking the product of another's labor by force. It is immaterial whether this force be founded upon ownership of the slave or ownership of the money that he must get to live." - Leo Tolstoy "Through taxation, pacifists are forced at gunpoint to pay for killing machines; vegetarians are forced at gunpoint to subsidize grazing land for cattle; non-smokers are forced at gunpoint to support both the production of tobacco and the research to counter its impact on health." - Dr. Mary Ruwart, [69] Healing Our World "There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want, merely because you think it would be good for him." - Robert A. Heinlein "Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship." - Herman Goering "A people that elect corrupt politicians are not victims... but accomplices." - George Orwell "Voting has become a farce, if indeed it was ever anything else. By voting, the people decide only which of the oligarchs preselected for them as viable candidates will wield the whip used to flog them and will command the legion of willing accomplices who perpetrate the countless violations of the people's natural rights." - [70] Robert Higgs "Having been convinced that "authority" is real, and that by way of it, some human beings have acquired the moral right to initiate violence and commit acts of aggression against others (by way of so-called "laws"), every Democrat, every Republican, every voter, and everyone else who advocates "government" in any form is a proponent of violence and injustice. Of course, they do not see it that way, because their belief in "authority" has warped and perverted their perception of reality." - [71] Larken Rose "The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority." - [72] Stanley Milgram "Loyal obedience to "authority," while painted by many as a great virtue, is really nothing more than a pathetic attempt to escape the responsibility of being human and reduce oneself to an unthinking, amoral, programmable machine." - [73] Larken Rose "Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hard-headed realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives [abdicate responsibility] to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners." - [74] Edward Abbey "Anarchism: A Philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made laws; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary." - [75] Emma Goldman "The understanding of Natural Law is centered upon bringing our own Conscience into alignment with [76] Objective Morality." - Mark Passio "The thought of how far the human race would have advanced without government simply staggers the imagination." - [77] Doug Casey "To say an anarchist society would be devoid of morality ignores the entire reason people are anarchists. The only reason to be an anarchist is the realization that the state itself is an immoral institution. Anarchism is rooted in a belief in morality." - [78] Fred Autonom "Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukranians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a 'Great Leap Forward' that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children. In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy's mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state's mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous." - [79] Robert Higgs "If you endorse a system of violence and coercion that threatens me with force on a daily basis, and I advocate for the abolition of that system, this is not just some difference of opinion where we can simply agree to disagree. You are actively participating in conspiracy to commit theft, assault, kidnapping and murder. There is no other context in which anybody would find this an acceptable pattern of behavior, the fact that billions of people across the globe allow you to be a willing participant in violent crime doesn't mean that you are entitled to the opinion that violent crime is a good thing, you have no right to be that wrong." - Chris Cantwell "Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves." - [80] Henry David Thoreau "If you personally advocate that I be caged if I don't pay for whatever government things YOU want, please don't pretend to be tolerant, or non-violent, or enlightened, or compassionate. Don't pretend you believe in live and let live, and don't pretend you want peace, freedom, or harmony." - [81] Larken Rose "I wonder how many such men in America would know that Communism, The New Deal, Fascism, Nazism, are merely so-many trade-names for COLLECTIVIST STATISM, like the trade-names for tooth-pastes which are all exactly alike except for the flavouring." - [82] Albert Jay Nock "Democracy is also a form of religion. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses." - [83] H. L. Mencken "There can be no socialism without the state, and as long as there is a state, there is socialism. The state then is the very institution that puts socialism into action; and as socialism rests on aggressive violence directed against innocent victims, aggressive violence is the nature of any state." [84] Hans-Hermann Hoppe "Taxation of earnings from labor is on par with forced labor. Seizing the results of someone's labor is equivalent to seizing hours from him and directing him to carry on various activities." - [85] Robert Nozick "Interestingly, even those who talk about "representative government" refuse to accept any personal responsibility for actions taken by those for whom they voted. If their candidate of choice enacts a harmful "law," or raises "taxes," or wages war, the voters never feel the same guilt or shame they would feel if they themselves had personally done such things, or had hired or instructed someone else to do such things. This fact demonstrates that even the most enthusiastic voters do not actually believe the rhetoric about "representative government," and do not view politicians as their representatives." - [86] Larken Rose "...the American government you see today is exactly what its designers wanted when they designed it, and the excuses given by American "patriots" not to burn it to the ground today are the same weak excuses they gave at every stage of its development since 1787. The Constitution of the United States of America was and is a document of enslavement intended to fool the weak minded while pacifying those who possess the moral fortitude and intelligence to stand up to tyranny." - [87] Sedition, Subversion and Sabotage Field Manual No. 1 [88] fb.com/BadQuakerDotCom "Political parties are disease vectors. They are hybrid cocktails of the milgram experiment and the stockholm syndrome with a strong police state chaser to set the virus in place. The virus is used to render an otherwise healthy ecology of spontaneous order into a shambling and largely inefficient engine for selecting a group of controllers to benefit at the expense of the whole. It is no more complex than that." - [89] zerogov.com What makes sex not rape? Consent. What makes a job not slavery? Consent. What makes taxation not theft? War, Drug War, GMO Subsidies, Surveillance, Police Brutality, Common Core, Roads. "Mutualism is applicable to every human relations. Throughout the whole gamut of existence, from birth to death, mutuality -- voluntary association for reciprocal action -- is everywhere and at every moment waiting to solve every problem of social intercourse, to decide every issue that arises in commerce and industry. In order to practice mutualism, it is necessary to name only two conditions; that the non-invasive individual shall not be coerced, and that no part of the product of any one's labor shall be taken from him without his consent. With those negative generalizations thus postulated, thereby affirming the sovereignty of the individual, therefrom flows naturally the positive and constructive corollary -- reciprocity; which implies individual initiative, free contract, and voluntary association." - Clarence Lee Swartz, [90] The Practicability of Mutualism "Those who advocate either slavery or income taxation should be ashamed of themselves. Genuine freedom entails the abolition, not the reform, of income taxation and the IRS, just as genuine freedom entailed the abolition, not the reform, of slavery." - [91] Jacob G. Hornberger "Freedom is the societal condition that exists when every individual has 100% control of his own property." - [92] Andrew Joseph Galambos "Statement of Purpose: Voluntaryists are advocates of non-political, non-violent strategies to achieve a free society. We reject electoral politics, in theory and in practice, as incompatible with libertarian principles. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably strengthen that legitimacy.Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which State power ultimately depends." - [93] voluntaryist.com "You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and following its decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul." - Mahatma Gandhi "The system cannot be fixed by the system." - Tom Morello "The most dangerous thing you can do is educate people. Because when people become educated, you cannot control them, you cannot frighten them. People who are educated know their own power, and don't surrender it to others." - [94] Jordan Maxwell "Our countries are corporations and the world is a business controlled by a small group of untouchable banking families. The laws that control our society have been meticulously structured over thousands of years to protect the corporations, while giving us the illusion that we are free. We, the people, are blissfully ignorant that we are the slaves and the assets of those who control the business. It is time to wake up and free ourselves. Nobody will do this for us. The universe awaits our action, so that it can respond through the law of attraction, and welcome humanity into the universal community of beings of higher consciousness." - Michael Tellinger, [95] UBUNTU Contributionism "Using these new and old technologies, dissent and original thought are being ripped from us. Traditions of individual sovereignty and freedom are being expunged from our minds and from the history books. And, due to the multitude of anesthetics we have been shot up with, we don't feel a thing. If we do not succeed in stopping the Controllers, ultimately the only people left will be the marching morons, the gullible, and those so apathetic as to have entirely forgotten that freedom can exist." - Jim Keith, [96] Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness PDF of this page: [97] GovenrmentIsSlavery.com/governmentisslavery.pdf References 1. http://exploreistaxationtheft.com/ 2. http://strike-the-root.com/government-is-not-civilization-it-is-slavery 3. http://forejustice.org/vote/voting_is_an_act_of_violence.htm 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaDqNDLpZa8 5. http://www.triviumeducation.com/ 6. http://www.voluntaryist.com/ 7. http://www.whatonearthishappening.com/ 8. https://www.corbettreport.com/corbett-report-documentaries 9. http://www.tragedyandhope.com/ 10. http://www.logosmedia.com/ 11. http://www.notbeinggoverned.com/ 12. http://www.agorism.info/ 13. http://www.liberty.me/ 14. http://www.c4ss.org/ 15. http://www.mises.org/ 16. http://www.theconsciousresistance.com/ 17. http://www.thefreethoughtproject.com/ 18. http://www.libertarianinstitute.org/ 19. http://www.bravetheworld.com/ 20. http://www.theanarchistlibrary.org/ 21. http://www.mindbendingtruth.com/ 22. http://www.mises.org/profile/murray-n-rothbard 23. http://www.sek3.net/ 24. http://archive.org/details/EndOfAllEvil 25. http://bastiat.org/en 26. https://fee.org/people/tom-g-palmer 27. http://brucelevine.net/ 28. http://dollarvigilante.com/ 29. http://ronpaulinstitute.org/ 30. http://thepholosopher.com/ 31. http://www.facebook.com/firstanarchyball 32. http://thecrowhouse.com/home.html 33. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody_Wilson 34. http://tomwoods.com/ 35. http://archive.org/details/nonedarecallitconspiracy_201904 36. http://libcom.org/files/Fire%20in%20the%20Minds%20of%20Men.pdf 37. http://www.michaeltsarion.com/ 38. http://archive.org/search.php?query=g%20edward%20griffin 39. http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/ 40. http://gbt.org/text/sayers.html 41. http://wakeup-world.com/category/contributing-writers/ethan-indigo-smith 42. http://archive.org/details/Tavistock_201601 43. http://archive.org/details/TheFranklinCover-upByFormerGreenBeretJohnDecamp 44. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW6Y-93gl0w 45. http://mirrors.wordsforgood.org/educate-yourself.org/tg/index.html 46. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-LsHRalB1Yci 47. http://archive.org/details/BeholdAPaleHorseMiltonWilliamCooper 48. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSc_IlFBWkw 49. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgI0liAee4s 50. http://nakamotoinstitute.org/authors/timothy-c-may 51. http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto 52. http://www.infowars.com/ 53. http://www.davidicke.com/ 54. http://darkjournalist.com/ 55. http://twitter.com/hashtag/trutherbot 56. http://www.thevinnyeastwoodshow.com/ 57. http://twitter.com/youranonnews 58. http://brovids.com/ 59. http://jamesfetzer.org/ 60. http://daviddfriedman.com/ 61. https://mises.org/profile/edward-stringham 62. http://www.bcaplan.com/ 63. http://www.stephankinsella.com/ 64. https://www.youtube.com/user/AdamKokesh/videos 65. https://mises.org/profile/lysander-spooner 66. http://www.larkenrose.com/ 67. https://www.mensenrechten.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/the-most-dangerous… 68. http://www.whatonearthishappening.com/ 69. https://archive.org/details/HealingOurWorldTheCompassionOfLibertarianismHow… 70. https://mises.org/profile/robert-higgs 71. http://www.larkenrose.com/ 72. https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html 73. http://www.larkenrose.com/ 74. http://www.abbeyweb.net/ 75. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/emma-goldman 76. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpsToEHuQAU 77. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=Doug+Casey+quotes 78. https://twitter.com/frednomasters 79. https://mises.org/profile/robert-higgs 80. https://www.ibiblio.org/ebooks/Thoreau/Civil%20Disobedience.pdf 81. http://www.larkenrose.com/ 82. https://mises.org/profile/albert-jay-nock 83. https://fee.org/articles/12-hl-mencken-quotes-on-government-democracy-and-p… 84. http://www.hanshoppe.com/ 85. https://www.iep.utm.edu/nozick/ 86. http://www.larkenrose.com/ 87. https://badquaker.com/ 88. https://www.facebook.com/BadQuakerDotCom 89. http://zerogov.com/ 90. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/clarence-lee-swartz-the-practicabil… 91. https://www.fff.org/blog/ 92. http://voluntaryist.com/how-i-became-a-voluntaryist/charles-r-estes/ 93. http://www.voluntaryist.com/ 94. https://jordanmaxwellshow.com/blog/about/ 95. https://the-eye.eu/public/concen.org/Anunnaki%20and%20Ancient%20Hidden%20Te… 96. https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/32717602/Mass_Control_-_Jim_Keith 97. https://www.governmentisslavery.com/governmentisslavery.pdf http://governmentisslavery.com/blog/ http://governmentisslavery.com/forum/

Warring against the clergy class

Who was Mahsa Amini? When, why, and how was she killed? FAE: Mahsa Amini, know by her family as Zhina, was an ordinary 22-year-old Kurdish girl from the city of Saghez (Saqez) in Kurdistan. She traveled with her family to Tehran to visit families. On September 13th, while with her brother, Kiaresh Amini, the morality police or the so-called “Guidance Patrol” arrested Mahsa for “improper hijab.” Her brother tried to resist the arrest, but the police used tear gas and beat Kiaresh as well. Many other arrested women witnessed what happened in the police van. Along the way to the police station, there was an argument between detainee women and police officers. Mahsa Amini was one of the girls protesting their arrest. She was saying she was not from Tehran and should be let go. The police used physical violence to shut all the detainee women up. Mahsa was beaten as well. The eyewitnesses said the police officers hit Mahsa’s head hard to the side of the police van. https://anarchistnews.org/content/iranian-anarchists-protests-response-poli…

Cryptocurrency: Why Govts, World Bank, IMF, Fed, ECB all Trash Bitcoin
by grarpamp 24 Sep '22

https://inbitcoinwetrust.substack.com/p/the-real-reason-why-governments-the The Real Reason Why Governments, the World Bank, the IMF, the Fed, or the ECB Falsely Denigrate Bitcoin. Fight against terrorism? Arms or drug sales? Climate change? The reason is quite different! by Sylvain Saurel The Separation of Money And State - brand new Bitcoin art! https://inbitcoinwetrust.substack.com/p/the-5-big-reasons-why-bitcoin-will https://inbitcoinwetrust.substack.com/p/nassim-nicholas-taleb-is-wrong-bitc… Have you ever wondered why the World Bank, the IMF, or any other major institution keeps falsely denigrating Bitcoin? When governments or central bankers denigrate Bitcoin, you hear the same old story over and over again. These powerful people in the current system will tell you that Bitcoin is a scam used by some to defraud poor innocent people. They will tell you that Bitcoin is being used massively on the Dark Web for illegal activities. They will even go so far as to say that Bitcoin facilitates the financing of terrorism and the resale of weapons and drugs. Others will try to appeal to the ecological fiber that is increasingly awakening among the general public by saying that Bitcoin is an ecological disaster that endangers the future of humanity. These same politicians will then vote for the extension of coal-fired power plants in their countries ... If these powerful people cared about humanity, they would act differently in all areas. In reality, they only think about their interests. And that means saving the current system at all costs. It doesn't bother them in the least that the current system is unfair and hurts a majority of people. If the politicians wanted to stop all these illegal activities, they would ban the US dollar then... Then they would attack the banking system that has facilitated money laundering for decades while participating in the financing of terrorism in one way or another. The reason why the powerful in the current system denigrate Bitcoin is simple: Bitcoin challenges an order that has been in place for centuries regarding money creation. They want to keep the power of money creation at all costs. But Bitcoin is there to take the power of money creation out of the hands of the states and give it back to the people. It is therefore eminently political and strategic reasons that motivate governments, the World Bank, the IMF, the Fed, or the ECB when denigrating Bitcoin. The reason is that the very foundations of Bitcoin are embedded in its source code and cannot be manipulated by arbitrary decisions. It is impossible to arbitrarily change the maximum supply of BTC. They cannot arbitrarily change the monetary policy of Bitcoin. With Bitcoin, governments and central bankers can no longer manipulate the system. Bitcoin is truly the separation of money from the hands of the state. And that's what scares the powerful in the current system. They are afraid of a system that gives power back to the people and gives everyone the same opportunities! So don't be surprised to see these powerful people (falsely) denigrate Bitcoin on every possible subject. Ecology, money laundering, scams, criminal use of Bitcoin, ... All clichés are used to scare the general public. The reason is that these powerful people want to avoid it at all costs so that the general public can think for themselves and finally understand that Bitcoin is our way out of a flawed and not fixable system. A system that is fairer to the many and has the potential to change the world of the future for the better. If you dig into the subject of Bitcoin, you will find that terrorists or arms dealers have no interest in using Bitcoin for their activities. Why not? Because the Bitcoin blockchain is an open, decentralized ledger. Authorities can easily trace all transactions that take place on the Bitcoin network. This is why the current system with the US dollar is still preferred by those who want to act illegally. The US dollar, not Bitcoin. With Bitcoin, you have a revolutionary system accessible to everyone. A secure, transparent, traceable, decentralized system that allows us to improve all of our interactions without having to resort to third parties who take their share of the pie in the process. Bitcoin mining is an industry spread across the globe that supports the development of renewable energy. Bitcoin is a force for good in the fight against climate change. It guarantees all humans basic rights. Rather than unnecessarily fighting Bitcoin, states should seize this opportunity to improve the world of tomorrow for the many. Of course, to do this, they will have to agree to give power back to the people in a system that they cannot manipulate for their profit. Something extremely difficult, but by supporting the peaceful Bitcoin revolution, you will be presenting these powerful people with a fait accompli. On your side, you have to make the only choice you can: think for yourself! Don't let others tell you what to think about Bitcoin. Take charge of your life and do your research on Bitcoin, money, and the economy. Everyone who has dared to think for themselves and dig deep into the Bitcoin issue has eventually become a Bitcoiner. Except for Nassim Nicholas Taleb who finally decided to become an opponent of Bitcoin after being a Bitcoiner as early as 2017. One would think he would respond to political pressure ... With this troubling exception, everyone who takes the time to carefully study Bitcoin and the current system eventually opens their eyes and embraces the Bitcoin revolution. This is no accident. It's up to you as always! Some reading A Scientific Study Confirms It: The Bitcoin Mining Industry Is Well Dispersed Around the World. Bitcoin opponents who dare to criticize the concentration of the Bitcoin mining industry should take the time to read this study. But, they probably won't. Digital Euro: ECB chooses Amazon ... Bitcoin is still your best option. In the face of the public-private alliance to build a society of mass surveillance, Bitcoin will be your best weapon. Bitcoin Is Not an Enemy, but an Ally in the Fight Against Climate Change. Governments should open their eyes to fully exploit the potential of Bitcoin rather than trying to harm this people's revolution. Bottom or Not Bottom for Bitcoin? Here Are Some Thoughts on the Matter. Looking where you need to will help you see more clearly. When Hyperinflation Rhymes With Chaos - The Story of Zimbabwe With Inflation of 231,000,000% in 2008. Robert Mugabe's land reform ruined a country that was once the breadbasket of southern Africa. 1 Comment crazyjoecus Writes crazyjoecus’s Newsletter 16 hr ago Liked by Sylvain Saurel https://crazyjoecus.substack.com/ Sylvain, you have quite plainly nailed the exact root cause of all the disinformation being foisted on an unthinking public. Until the public learns to think for themselves the devastation of the current monetary system will continue to impoverish the masses. I haven't much hope that people will unplug the great propaganda machine by deciding instead to read the classics. By freeing their minds from the raw sewage that is propaganda free thought and diversity of ideas will be naturally activated. What is at stake is more than Bitcoin but our humanity. Jesus was correct to describe us as sheep. The time is right to overthrow our shepherds.

Knight III posted on December 29, 2017 in The Fed, Technology, Privacy, Money Exclusive to STR http://strike-the-root.com/technological-transmogrification-collapsing-gove… https://www.amazon.com/Come-Take-Printers-Guide-Thinking/dp/1476778264 https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/28/bitcoin-is-evil/ Half a decade ago now, I wrote a piece here on STR about how advancing technologies have nearly always introduced more freedom into human affairs than the latest political idea or bid to shift the philosophical leanings of a given society or population. The latter takes place, if at all, glacially. Technologies have the ability to shift things virtually overnight. Mentioned in that STRticle, among other things, were 3D printed guns (also known today as “ghost guns” because of their untraceable nature), and in fact I just very recently finished reading Cody Wilson's book, Come and Take It: The Gun Printer's Guide to Thinking Free. One thing not mentioned in my piece, however (though it was touched upon by a commenter there), was Bitcoin. Of course, in 2012, Bitcoin stood virtually alone in the cryptocurrency world and was not yet a big deal according to most forecasters. I guess here is the part where I say, “Boy has that ever changed!” Bitcoin, as the premiere and still predominant cryptocurrency, almost crossed the $20 thousand Federal Reserve Note mark within recent memory. At the time of this writing, it hovers at somewhere around $14,500 FRNs. A far cry from the days when 10,000 bitcoins bought two large pizzas. Its price index remains volatile for the time being, making it both attractive and bearish to some investors, and the number of places where it can be exchanged for real goods and services is expanding slowly for the time being. It also faces much competition. At present, there are well over 1,300 Bitcoin imitators, with new ones cropping up on an almost daily basis. Some emphasize expediency and low computing power requirements (like NEM's XEM – now the second most popular cryptocurrency in Japan), others stealth and privacy (Monero, Dash, and the nascent Spectrecoin come to mind). Still others thrive on marketability and name-recognition – such as Litecoin, or the Bitcoin blockchain-fork derivatives, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. But back to good old standard Bitcoin for a moment: In a recent New York Times opinion piece, that arch and dogmatically committed advocate of all things Marxist and retrogressive, Paul Krugman, has delivered what might be considered an ultimate and unabashed coup de grace showing of his hand (as if one were still needed at this juncture). The title leaves little room for speculation about Krugman's attitudes towards free markets and individualism. “Bitcoin Is Evil” makes sure to decry both the cryptocurrency and gold itself (though the latter to a slightly lesser degree, predictably), while touting centralized banking and the almighty Federal Reserve Note as the only bastions of socialist sanity in an ugly, reckless, and flat-out bizarre world of anti-governmentalism and capitalist greed. Just bear witness to the quote Krugman cites from an article by fellow uber-leftist Charlie Stross: “BitCoin looks like it was designed as a weapon intended to damage central banking and money issuing banks, with a Libertarian political agenda in mind—to damage states ability to collect tax and monitor their citizens financial transactions.” Before uttering “Duh, Sherlock!” we might first pause a moment to consider that Krugman, Stross, and all those who think like them – a considerable segment of the population – see nothing wrong whatsoever with centralized banking and money issuance, taxation, and the ability of governments to monitor all financial transactions. In fact, not only do they see nothing wrong with these things – they see any attempt to hinder or thwart them as “evil.” This is what we are up against. And I hold out little or no hope that such a twisted mindset can ever change. Fortunately, emerging technologies have the ability to bypass people's belief systems in ways that render their objections meaningless. Yes, that's a double-edged sword, and states can and do use technology to violate privacy all the time. But with cryptocurrency now on the digital map, I get the feeling we're going to finally start giving more than we're getting when it comes to sticking it to Big Brother. Ultimately, even lefties like Krugman – who infamously once opined that the Internet would lead to no greater changes than were introduced by the fax machine – will likely be co-opted into using cryptos whether it dissolves their Marxian leviathan agenda or not. People en masse rarely if ever think about the philosophical ramifications of a new technological development that makes life quicker, easier, and less expensive – even if and when it contravenes their belief system. In the case of cryptos, this works in favor of liberty, and not at all against it. Just like most if not all prior leaps in technology. The development of the Internet itself, and the social and alternative medias which have sprung up as a result, may have expanded and accelerated the ability of freedom advocates to reach others, and to a not insignificant degree this has borne fruit. That said, the libertarian message has run and is still running up against the resistant and obstinate nature of the human mind. Bitcoin, and all of its crypto-progeny, are encountering very few of such psychological barriers. And this is cause for some hope.
