It Is In War That The State

The State Thrives On War - Unless, Of Course, It Is Defeated And Crushed - Expands On It, Glories In It.

To Those Advocates Of Independent Paper Moneys Who Also Champion The Free Market, I Would Address This Simple Question: "why Don't You Advocate The Unlimited Freedom Of Each Individual To Manufacture Dollars?" If Dollars Are Really And Properly Things-in-themselves, Why Not Let Everyone Manufacture Them As They Manufacture Wheat And Baby Food?

The Natural Tendency Of The State Is Inflation. This Statement Will Shock Those Accustomed To Viewing The State As A Committee Of The Whole Nation Ardently Dispensing The General Welfare, But I Think It Nonetheless True.

Instead Of A Bumbling And Inefficient Tool Of Society, The Radical [libertarian] Sees The State Itself, In Its Very Nature, As Coercive, Exploitative, Parasitic, And Hence Profoundly Antisocial. The State Is, And Always Has Been, The Great Single Enemy Of The Human Race, Its Liberty, Happiness, And Progress.

The Public Sector Can Only Feed Off The Private Sector; It Necessarily Lives Parasitically Upon The Private Economy. But This Means That The Productive Resources Of Society - Far From Satisfying The Wants Of Consumers - Are Now Directed, By Compulsion, Away From These Wants And Needs. The Consumers Are Deliberately Thwarted, And The Resources Of The Economy Diverted From Them To Those Activities Desire By The Parasitic Bureaucracy And Politicians.
