Were taxes REALLY much higher on the rich in the 1950s?
Can we get a definitive answer on this?

I mean if we plan on winning, we need to be countering these dumb talking points.

Will they finally do it?

Ok, since board is usually not very active, let me start a couple threads of interests.
In a libertarian society what would be the strategies to deal with an epidemic/outbreak ?
I choose this subject because it is an ideal subject to come up with solutions as it is usually thought as something to be countered from a central authority, such as border health checks restrictions etc.
We all know a libertarian society can easily switch to producing masks, drugs, medical machinery etc fast and cheap in abundance. So I thing we are all set on that point.
So about street security, health checks on borders and these required tests... who would be up to make them, in what ways etc.
Go.

I think this article is important and worth of sharing of. Have a read

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

Rushdoony believed that a republic is a better form of civil government than a democracy. According to Rushdoony, a republic avoided mob rule and the rule of the "51%" of society; in other words "might does not make right" in a republic.[31] Rushdoony wrote that America's separation of powers between 3 branches of government is a far more neutral and better method of civil government than a direct democracy, stating "[t]he [American] Constitution was designed to perpetuate a Christian order". Rushdoony argues that the Constitution's purpose was to protect religion from the federal government and to preserve "states' rights."[32]

Rushdoony's work has been used by Dominion Theology advocates who attempt to implement a Christian government subject to Biblical law in the United States. Authority, behavioral boundaries, economics, penology and the like would all be governed by biblical principles in Rushdoony's vision, but he also proposed a wide system of freedom, especially in the economic sphere, and claimed Ludwig von Mises as an intellectual mentor; he called himself a Christian libertarian.[17]

RAİD FOR FREEDOM

Why is agorism considered a separate ideology from anarcho-capitalism? It seems like anarcho-capitalism is the end result of agorism.

While I usually defend free market and freedom, and argue that the only reason the roastie problem is out of control is due to State's incentives towards women's education, divorce, single motherhood, I'm not sure it is enough.

Over the past two decades, I've seen U.S. mainstream media:

- Refuse to mention blowback w.r.t. 9/11.
- For the next two decades hence stay mum whenever the "Patriot" Act got renewed.
- Lie about WMDs and get the U.S. into Iraq.
- Lie about the economy immediately before the '08 crash.
- Rally for TARP after the '08 crash.
- Lie about Obamacare.
- Lie about Syria and the White Helmets.
- Lie about Iran.
- All the while stay absolutely and completely mum about what the CIA, NSA, etc. do or have done, and conveniently don't say a word about SOPA, PIPA, FOSCA, etc..

And I have a sneaking feeling they're lying about how terrible this COVID19 stuff is actually going to be in the U.S. right now.

I have been thinking about creating an American ‘political’ organization along the lines of the dissent right wing groups in Europe. The idea is to have the organization be distantly American so that criticism of the

Let's discuss taxation, its legitimacy or lack thereof, and ways to keep what public servants that may exist in a freer society accountable. Minarchism and Libertarianism are both anti-statist ideologies but they still hinge somewhat on the presence of, if little else, a system of courts where conflicts between citizens are arbitrated-and this arrangement necessitates presence of full time employees. Is it possible to have zero taxes and if not, what would be the most ethical means of procurement and distribution be?

Are there any differences between voluntaryism and anarcho-capitalism? I see people use these terms interchangeably, but I also see people claim they're separate ideologies.

If someone I knew wanted to get a verifiable vaccine card, what would he need to do and where he need to go?

Should there be a state to enforce contracts or should gentlemen settle it between themselves?
