Quote from Charles Tilly

Consider the definition of a racketeer as someone who creates a threat and then charges for its reduction. Governments' provision o protection, by this standard, often qualifies as racketeering.

Books: The Sovereign Individual

The Sovereign Individual.

It's a fact: most people no longer vote in any election, which is one of the leading indicators of a democracy's demise. The Catholic church's hold on power during the Dark ages is a prime example of a system that lost its hold due to decadence from within. Because the leader's lived large at the expense of the common man, people no longer felt that religion had a relevance to their lives.

The same is true with politics today. We all know that the ruling class in our western countries lives large with perquisites and privileges befitting royalty, all at taxpayer expense. This contempt for the "nobles", the politicians and civil servants of our time, is one of many signs that the nation-state is at an end.

It is very hard to get the average person to understand that times have changed, and the changes will dramatically effect our lives in every way. It is natural to want to hold onto what is familiar and safe. But the things that will be, will be regardless of protest or sentimentality, and these two authors have their fingers on the pulse of the future.

I just came across another French libertarian's blog . It's very encouraging to see that I am not the only one to think that we need to get rid of this corrupt system.

French rock star Johnny Halliday is moving to Switzerland in order to pay less taxes. Being myself a hard-core libertarian, I can only say "Good show, Johnny"

Libertarianism 1

In terms of politics I identify much with the vision called Libertarian. I enjoy very much libertarian podcasts from Canadian speaker Stephan Molyneux.
