We must, therefore, emphasize that ‘we’ are not the government; the government is not ‘us.’ The government does not in any accurate sense ‘represent’ the majority of the people.
The State is an inherently illegitimate institution of organized aggression, of organized and regularized crime against the persons and properties of its subjects… a profoundly antisocial institution which lives parasitically off of the productive activities of private citizens.
Not sure I care for that thesis at all. The State is an agreement among people about how they will relate to one another. Rothbard is describing a dystopia. It doesn't have to be that way.
I am starting to think it inevitably ends up that way. Our founding fathers came up with great ideas. Small government with checks and balances that keeps the government from becoming too powerful. Well go forward in time 200 years. Most of the government is now alphabet agency bureaucrats who don't have to answer to the people. They control every facet of your life and even spy on you without any accountability. I am starting to think government will inevitably continue growing until it becomes dystopian.
Democracy has nothing to do with freedom. Democracy is a soft variant of communism, and rarely in the history of ideas has it been taken for anything else.
As for the moral status of majority rule, it must be pointed out that it allows for A and B to band together to rip off C, C and A in turn joining to rip off B, and then B and C conspiring against A, and so on.
Lol no democrats and Republicans are both A and it's the sleeping citizens that have gotten too comfortable with their govt and allowed this to happen. That quote doesn't apply to a republic, it applies to a democracy, which we are not.
The person above saying that democracy is a form of communism is wrong, democracy predates communism by thousands of years.
The fact that we vote in elections at all means we are a democracy.
But we aren’t ONLY a democracy. To use a single word to describe what our government is suppose to be is in my opinion insulting to both the founding fathers and the country as a whole.
We are a democracy, but we are also so much more than that.
We are suppose to be a constitutional, federal, representational, presidential, democratic republic with a bicameral legislature.
Voting doesn't automatically make us a democracy. People vote in a republic.
A democracy is a govt of the masses, whatever the majority says goes. This facilitates an attitude toward property that is communistic and an attitude toward law where the individual no longer has a say if the will of the majority is against him. It results in demagogism and anarchy.
Article IV Section IV states the united states shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of govt.
I noticed his tune changed right after he got re-elected. Just like that cocksucker Lindsey Graham.
Watch....when it's time for them to get re-elected again, they'll start pandering to their base again and they'll eat it up just let nothing happened.
Stop being suckers America.
It has always been this way, and always will so long as we think it legitimate for a certain class to control us through the threat and application of violence.
But these men who claim and exercise this absolute and irresponsible dominion over us, dare not be consistent, and claim either to be our masters, or to own us as property. They say they are only our servants, agents, attorneys, and representatives. But this declaration involves an absurdity, a contradiction. No man can be my servant, agent, attorney, or representative, and be, at the same time, uncontrollable by me, and irresponsible to me for his acts.
They are about to jet out of there for their winter break... libtards hardest hit that the $2000 downsized to $1200 stimulus just got downgraded to $0 and a heap of new bill trouble is coming courtesy of the IRS
If Jr. wants to run for President, I’ll back him all the way, no questions asked.
But I would prefer him to run for Senate, because the Senate GOP is full of stuffy old dudes that are afraid of hurting feelings, and Jr. would give it the shot of adrenaline it sorely needs.
What you mean scorched earth? We can’t even get these pretend patriot faggots to cancel their Facebook accounts and unplug from the brainwashing machines. Twitter is the crack epidemic of white people. They just cant stop.
‘Rather than risk their careers taking bribes for potentially minuscule rewards, Schweizer points out how today’s politicians are savvier, engaging in what he calls “corruption by proxy.”’
No surprise why CHAO was in Trump's administration as well. I cannot believe I have underestimated Mitch all these years. He really is supposedly powerful.
It’s not over yet. McConnell voted to acquit Trump but is now completely going against him and talking about prosecution against him as a private citizen.
McConnell is the one inciting violence here, his every word against Trump and his supporters is an insult and an incitement. He is the one who should be prosecuted for the rest of his life.
I have a feeling that swamp turtle is going to get fucked so hard by karma. Trump curse is real.
Maybe he is mad because his fundraising numbers have gone south. I've replied to his emails, telling him that I knew that there was money to defend Trump that had not been spent, and if he wants money from me, he will in the future have to get it from Trump.
Yeah their fundraising trick has expired after everyone noticed they don't spend the money on the things they say they will, like fighting election fraud etc.
The left literally camped outside his house to harass him (Tucker too) yet he's so entrenched in the swamp it's just a side effect to him of playing the bad guy in the politics game.
McConnell wants to bring the party back to the country club Republican party of Bush, Paul Ryan, McCain, and Romney. He doesn't like nor want any of us rowdy Trump republicans in the party.
DeSantis is on the right path. He got scared and pressured into aiding the covidians, but he's past that now. Abbott will always be cucked. Texas is weak.
He is looking like China's biggest acquisition in our government. He is an untrustworthy slime ball who thinks the people are idiots and can't see through his bullshit.
Pretty much confirmed at this point. I mean just look at his wife, who is his second wife btw, and look at him. She’s not Melania by any means, but god dammit Mitch is a fuckin turtle and you mean to tell me anyone buys that relationship on face value? No way no how
We don't call him Turtle for nothing. He's just saving his ass politically here, though, just in case Dominion doesn't pull through for him next election.
Listening to Cocaine Mitch today was BEYOND disgusting and pathetic. I could NOT believe what I was hearing. I am BEYOND PISSED! And if THIS is what he believes is going to help the GOP in the future he is sadly mistaken.
It’s easy to speak boldly when you have no power. It takes real leadership to exercise the power when you have it. Republicans fucked around for two years when we had the whole government. We could gave gotten everything but shit stains like Paul Ryan, Mitch, Romney, Graham and Rubio dicked around.
Sanctimonious fool promoting the Biden won fair and square hallucination.
Trump's side should have brought the receipts of the election fraud. These RINOs and Dems certainly opened the door to it with them saying Trump 'made false claims about election fraud'
McConnell follows the orders of his ChiCom handler- his wife, Elaine Chao- just as ZuckBook follows his ChiCom handler- his wife, Priscilla Chan. WATCH the women!
I agree with Don Jr 100%. Mitch sat there and did nothing while the Dem goons burned cities, nothing during the year leading up to November to make sure that GOP voters had a secure election and nothing after it. The people are tired of being ignored by politicians who then act sanctimonious when there is a reaction to it. Mitch is there to protect the uniparty, not us.
McConnell had no choice but to toss this sham impeachment away after Trumps lawyers obliterated the Democrats with that 13 minute montage. It was quite a spectacle. McConnell would have happilly enjoined with the Demonrats if Trumps Defence came up short, and weak. This is a good day for the USA. Cheaters never win, and Winners never cheat! Now it is time to focus on AZ audit! Lets flip that one god damn state and watch the entire sham election fall apart.
Hmmm, cheaters did win though. Look who's sitting in the Whitehouse.
When I hear things like that I always think of how Josef Mengele, perhaps the most sick individual to ever have lived, escaped Nazi Germany and lived a full life, had kids, grandkids etc.
Granted he eventually drowned in an accident, but only after he was an old man and lived the best part of his life with no consequences.
we need one good audit and the white house of cards will come tumbling down. Push for it in AZ, make calls, get active, lets go! Time to beat these cheats!
As a resident of Kentucky, it was either McConnell or McGrath. Trust me, McGrath would make McConnell look like a birthday party. I don’t see him lasting beyond this current term. We need to replace the current governor. Who is up to the task? Someone needs to step up to the plate.
This is the intersection taken over by George Floyd stuff-a huge fist sculpture, tons of BLM protesters and it has been closed since last June. They would like to reopen it, as it is an important area and the stores would like the traffic again, but it is still tough to get it reopened with the protestors.
As elections are controlled at the State level and many States are looking to fix what was changed, should they really fix this, it will be a big help.
Yup - he's a cowering, sniveling worm who acts like a toddler facing a Grizzly bear when we need him to do his JOB and stand up to these raving, delusional, psychotic Democrats. But he never misses an opportunity to STAB TRUMP / US IN THE BACK, and then suddenly he's the Grizzly with zero fear and an aggressive attitude to match.
He has the name Cocaine Mitch for a reason. It's because he used his power to make money off family members trafficking cocaine on their yachts. Slap on the wrist time... the Hillary treatment, just like he gets. How does this fuck keep getting elected? Oh, I get it. He has dominion over the vote. Treat him like the uniparty democrat bitch he is. Never praise a fake maga clown for saying the right thing because they never do anything except give lip service.
Cocaine Mitch is not a Fren. He got up and started trash talking Trump immediately after the acquittal. He put his Big Toe in the water...and he's about to find out how COLD it is...
'Karnak' predicts he'll announce his retirement before the end of this term...
Eh Old Mitchy Mitch. Has a shitty poker face. I could tell he never liked Trump. Cause Trump wants to fuck over the Rinos and Mitch would not like that. Real thing we got to worry about is Biden being Impeached, then Comrade Kamala becomes President and Pelosi becomes VP. Then if Kamaltoe gets impeached then Piss Pants Pelosi becomes President.
When is everyone going to start calling this for what it is. This last election was a coup and most Democrats and Republics were a big part of it including Mitch.
I have been getting interested in Rothbard lately. Which of his books do you think would be a good place to start?
The absolute best place to start with Rothbard is "The Anatomy of The State" it's short, and freely available:
https://mises.org/library/anatomy-state
It can be summarized further as:
I think I just fell in love. No homo.
r[evol]ution
Thank you for the recommendation, I will start reading it tonight.
Not sure I care for that thesis at all. The State is an agreement among people about how they will relate to one another. Rothbard is describing a dystopia. It doesn't have to be that way.

They control every facet of your life and even spy on you without any accountability. I am starting to think government will inevitably continue growing until it becomes dystopian.
The founders thought this as well.
We don't have a democracy, which is exactly what Hans-Hermann Hoppe says there, aka mob rule. We have a republic.
Agreed, but we still have A, B, and C. It's just democrats (A) & Republicans (B) banding together to fuck we the people (C).
Lol no democrats and Republicans are both A and it's the sleeping citizens that have gotten too comfortable with their govt and allowed this to happen. That quote doesn't apply to a republic, it applies to a democracy, which we are not.
At best we have a failed republic that has succumbed to democracy.
It's not the republic that has failed, it's cheaters infiltrating the republic and sleeping citizens that have gotten too comfortable with their govt.
The person above saying that democracy is a form of communism is wrong, democracy predates communism by thousands of years.

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-4/
That would work if there were a C. Or a B, for that matter.
Or if we were a democracy, which we're not.
Rothbardians are the tough love libertarians, you kinda got to ease into it.
As we’ve seen with the handling of the China Flu by so many governors, this simply is no longer true and hasn’t been for a long time.
But it is.
🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
So basically Murray Rothbard is the Thomas Paine of our 1776....
McBitch changed his tune because even his previous supporters now want him..."gone". Lets say.
Sure, you might get away with half the country wanting you "gone".
But I certainly don't think you could survive long if literally everyone either wants you dead or wouldn't care.
I noticed his tune changed right after he got re-elected. Just like that cocksucker Lindsey Graham. Watch....when it's time for them to get re-elected again, they'll start pandering to their base again and they'll eat it up just let nothing happened. Stop being suckers America.
It has always been this way, and always will so long as we think it legitimate for a certain class to control us through the threat and application of violence.
The reason Bitch hasn't done nothing, cause like the other RINOs and Dems being in bed with Chyna!
Fuck the turtle.
Also fuck Barr and Wray as they let Hunter Biden completely off the hook while watching America burn.
Wonder how Barr looks back on being the AG twice 1x term. First with Bush senior in 1989-1993.
Mitch McConnell is a professional loser.
BITCH MCCONNELL. Forever his name.
Kek
I hate Mitch McConnell with a burning passion.
I agree. More than any Democrat, even.
You still think it's about Republicans vs Democrats? HAHAHA bro you're so slow.
I haven't always agreed with Trump's statements. And I'm tired of people my age treating AOC as anything other than a washed up bartender.
But Bitch McConnell makes my blood boil. I think I'm starting to hate him more than Nancy Pelosi.
Get ready for more jack shit on the stimulus.
(Bipartisan trainwreck at this point)
They are about to jet out of there for their winter break... libtards hardest hit that the $2000 downsized to $1200 stimulus just got downgraded to $0 and a heap of new bill trouble is coming courtesy of the IRS
Starting to hope JR runs in 2024. He seems to hate the left more than his dad, who still assumed they could be reasoned with.
I feel like JR would go scorched earth on them
Shame that's what needs to be done, but that needs to be done.
It's never a shame to remove the left from the public sphere. Leftist policies are evil
That’s why they rely on the courts to legislate. When Trump started changing that, they flat out stole elections.
If Jr. wants to run for President, I’ll back him all the way, no questions asked.
But I would prefer him to run for Senate, because the Senate GOP is full of stuffy old dudes that are afraid of hurting feelings, and Jr. would give it the shot of adrenaline it sorely needs.
I would prefer that people forgot the illusion that voting still matters.
Yes, he has learned from the master. He seems to have potential.
Me too
What you mean scorched earth? We can’t even get these pretend patriot faggots to cancel their Facebook accounts and unplug from the brainwashing machines. Twitter is the crack epidemic of white people. They just cant stop.
He’s in bed with the CCP.
‘Rather than risk their careers taking bribes for potentially minuscule rewards, Schweizer points out how today’s politicians are savvier, engaging in what he calls “corruption by proxy.”’
https://nypost.com/2018/03/17/how-mcconnell-and-chao-used-political-power-to-make-their-family-rich/
It’s clear as day and in plain sight. Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, the list goes on and on. FUBAR on every level
Corruption by proxy, that is bribe money to family members, is as illegal as direct payments.
No surprise why CHAO was in Trump's administration as well. I cannot believe I have underestimated Mitch all these years. He really is supposedly powerful.
There's always a way around. That's why the government should be as small and powerless as is reasonably possible.
It’s not over yet. McConnell voted to acquit Trump but is now completely going against him and talking about prosecution against him as a private citizen.
McConnell is the one inciting violence here, his every word against Trump and his supporters is an insult and an incitement. He is the one who should be prosecuted for the rest of his life.

I think they still actually believe they can go back to the good old days and pretend like nothing ever happened
we need to take over the country clubs then
McConnell's career needs to be over. He's swamp.
They must all go. Trump really exposed our True enemies.
DeSantis is on the right path. He got scared and pressured into aiding the covidians, but he's past that now. Abbott will always be cucked. Texas is weak.
Yea, I feel like too many pedes are afraid of what DeSantis might become, rather than just focusing on how great of a governor he has been.
But not Kristi Noem right? Governor of a Dakota a remember.
RECALL AND PRIMARY.
Be sure to support real patriots in 2022. First is Lisa Murkowsky: I'm sure we can find someone more based in Alaska than this rhino cuck.
Can't recall congressmen and senators.
Many need to be primaried.
Leadership (McCarthy, Cheney, McConnell) need to be removed asap.
We're past that.
NULLIFY AND SECEDE
There is no chance. They will cheat and steal the vote. The only way is though a third party.
Mitch McConnell has to go. He cannot lead our party any longer. He’s turned his back on us, on our elected leader; the one WE CHOSE. Mitch. Must. Go.
D junior spittin hot fire.
My favorite part is how Trump declassified things that showed that EVERYONE- EVERYONE KNEW it was BS.
What has he declassified that exposed things? I kept waiting for the big declassification drop and never saw anything.
Amen.
Fuck McConnell
He sounds an awful lot like a Democrat.
Mitch is a switch hitter. Demonrat one day and RINO the next.
He’s a POS. Mike Shirkey is Right. McConnell was in on it to oust Trump and hand Over America to China
He is looking like China's biggest acquisition in our government. He is an untrustworthy slime ball who thinks the people are idiots and can't see through his bullshit.
Pretty much confirmed at this point. I mean just look at his wife, who is his second wife btw, and look at him. She’s not Melania by any means, but god dammit Mitch is a fuckin turtle and you mean to tell me anyone buys that relationship on face value? No way no how

Listening to Cocaine Mitch today was BEYOND disgusting and pathetic. I could NOT believe what I was hearing. I am BEYOND PISSED! And if THIS is what he believes is going to help the GOP in the future he is sadly mistaken.
He doesn't care. He's gonna be dead or retired by the time he's up for re-election.
It’s easy to speak boldly when you have no power. It takes real leadership to exercise the power when you have it. Republicans fucked around for two years when we had the whole government. We could gave gotten everything but shit stains like Paul Ryan, Mitch, Romney, Graham and Rubio dicked around.
Sanctimonious fool promoting the Biden won fair and square hallucination.
Trump's side should have brought the receipts of the election fraud. These RINOs and Dems certainly opened the door to it with them saying Trump 'made false claims about election fraud'
Now they can focus on all out warfare on the Constitution, starting with the 2nd Amendment.
They all hate us and want us dead
Yep.
Too late. They already started with the 1st Amendment
They started on 2A long ago as well. Now, they get to finish what they started.
What do think this whole impeachment trial was other than all out warfare against the Constitution?
You're not wrong. Election fraud is the same.
The turtle needs to retire and take his Chinese spy of a wife with him.
Trump is stronger now...he strikes fear into the hearts of evil Men...lol
BREAKING: GOP Swamp Leader Bitch McConnell is still, a bitch.
McConnell follows the orders of his ChiCom handler- his wife, Elaine Chao- just as ZuckBook follows his ChiCom handler- his wife, Priscilla Chan. WATCH the women!

Here in Minneapolis they still haven't been able to reopen 38th and Chicago...
Is that a major intersection or something?
This is the intersection taken over by George Floyd stuff-a huge fist sculpture, tons of BLM protesters and it has been closed since last June. They would like to reopen it, as it is an important area and the stores would like the traffic again, but it is still tough to get it reopened with the protestors.
*insurrectionists not protestors
You need to leave Somalia as soon as possible.
-18 degrees when I woke up this morning. I can't take all these below zero temperatures much longer combined with the Liberal politics of this state.
JR is awesome Mitch is a loser and has been so for many years. Why don't they appoint a fighter for the job he holds in the Senate?
Drunk Nancy is on now going after McConnell..🤣
Mitch the Bitch!
DJT Jr could be president some day.
Not if the "tabulation" of our voting machines have any say in it...
As elections are controlled at the State level and many States are looking to fix what was changed, should they really fix this, it will be a big help.
The uniparty exists to put up a token opposition as more an more ground is lost
Yup - he's a cowering, sniveling worm who acts like a toddler facing a Grizzly bear when we need him to do his JOB and stand up to these raving, delusional, psychotic Democrats. But he never misses an opportunity to STAB TRUMP / US IN THE BACK, and then suddenly he's the Grizzly with zero fear and an aggressive attitude to match.
Don Jr. Do the right thing. Give your dad access to your phone and your Twitter account.
He has the name Cocaine Mitch for a reason. It's because he used his power to make money off family members trafficking cocaine on their yachts. Slap on the wrist time... the Hillary treatment, just like he gets. How does this fuck keep getting elected? Oh, I get it. He has dominion over the vote. Treat him like the uniparty democrat bitch he is. Never praise a fake maga clown for saying the right thing because they never do anything except give lip service.
mitch the BITCH is fooling nobody and his political career is over.
Mitch is owned by CCP. Prove me wrong.
Our votes don’t matter. Tell your friends
Mitch is an establishment (globalist) bitch.
For McConnell to be projecting this much he must have a ton of skeletons in his closet.
Maybe it’s time for some investigative journalism on him.
If he wants to spread around these threats it’s open season to find charges to stick him with.
McConnell is dog shite. It's awesome to see who is the traitors to our country. We will never forget!
Mitch also never took the Senate out of session so that Trump appointments could actually get to work.
Nah. He got his wife a job again and again.
Cocaine Mitch is not a Fren. He got up and started trash talking Trump immediately after the acquittal. He put his Big Toe in the water...and he's about to find out how COLD it is...
'Karnak' predicts he'll announce his retirement before the end of this term...
Eh Old Mitchy Mitch. Has a shitty poker face. I could tell he never liked Trump. Cause Trump wants to fuck over the Rinos and Mitch would not like that.
