I like you group "Anti-Socialism". It seems like a good place to discuss politics. Please add Herbert Spencer to the "capitalist hall of fame". He has greatly influenced the likes of Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard. Maybe you should add Anton Levay as well. I would say that Herbert Spencer and Anton Levay and controversial figures, but that does not mean you should not take adding them into consideration. You should update the "collectivist hall of fame" as Gadaffi, Kim Jong-Il and Hugo Chavez are dead.

Hello. Thanks for reading my thesis, I hope you enjoyed it even though I'm guessing you do not agree with everything in it :) I haven't read Proudhon in full but I have read a lot about his views through other works that discuss his, so I'd say I'm pretty familiar with his core views and the reasons he gives for them. In fact, I don't know whether you noticed it but I did mention him briefly in my thesis (footnote 25 at the bottom of page 21 :). You are of course correct, I find his views very interesting but he misses the point on several key economic points that filter through in his ethics as well, with all the consequences thereof. Still, that does not mean that none of what he says is reasonable, but the conclusions he reaches through some other faulty reasoning end up off-target as well. If people still want to be socialists though, I prefer them being into Proudhon instead of Marx as the lesser of two evils :)

Actually, I did read through some of it when I saw your link! It's thoroughly well sourced and is fairly in depth. See the Libertarian group messages or discussion section. I'll be posting my brief commentary/critique on your thesis, and do a bit of my own advocacy of libertarianism there. BTW, I would suggest that you listen to some of the old Free Capitalist Podcasts if you haven't yet.

I hope your thesis turned out well. If I had known you were working on one, I would have been willing to help fill in some of the core details.

Thank you for your work in helping to dispel the socialist menace. These are times of both great danger and great opportunity.

No hurry - at all! I do think it is an interesting topic and very relevant at the moment. I don't know if you saw that [url=http://www.allfacebook.com/2010/02/facebook-feed-patent/]Facebook has just taken out a patent on the News Feed[/url] this will be of huge significance in the development of Social Networking applications! Did you know that if Facebook was a country and it's active members were citizens it would be the 3rd largest in the World after China and India? I am not sure that they really need legal help in securing their dominance of the market!

Against Me! is een vd beste punkgroepen , heel wat anders dan wat onder platte commerce voor mij wordt verstaan zijnde Blink 182, Janez Detd, Sum 41 - Punk. Als je heel de cd New Wave beluistert zult ge mss een ander beeld krijgen of niet en voor eeuwig het haten :-)

Dat varken, zo "frikkin' cute , o my god" ... ik wil ook wel zo eentje in huis.

That's what I heeeeaar. I'm not too interested in reading about railroads, and the book comes across as pretty difficult because Rand crams so many things into one tiny paragraph. So I'm just going back to the well-ridden path and picking up some Murakami books. Things have been good 'nuff. Heh. What are you currently reading?

thanks for your clarificatıon and sharing your ideas with me :) What a pity that a lot of people had been enduring both the ıdeology of Nazism and socıalism during second world war times :(The Nazis stated that their goal was to bring forth a nation-state as the locus and embodiment of the people’s collective will, bound by the Volksgemeinschaft, as both an ideal and an operating instrument. In comparison, traditional socialist ideologies oppose the idea of nations.Both fascism and Nazism reject ideologies like democracy, liberalism.I see that some people from all over the world,supporting the ıdeology of Nazism,called as a white power :I think that the ıdeology as dangerous as Socıalism.They dont want to give a life chance to the other natıons who have different colour,race and beliefs. of course this is my personal opinıon.Thanks a lot for message.I wish you good luck and happiness :=) Good night

My apologies for the late reply. I did not know of anarcho-capitalism before. It sounds like a big contradiction at first, but it makes much more sense after some reading... interesting, although I am neither an anarchist nor a liberal. However, I seriously doubt N. was aware of this distinction, because "Anarchy always has a socialist connotation" as you said, and it was truer in his time. I would rather say "radical individualism", a label which does not contradict the struggle for emancipation of the superior man from the inferiors, while avoiding the strong socialist connotation attached to the word "anarchism".

Non-socialist anarchism? I am intrigued to learn that there is non-socialistic kind of anarchism and would gladly be enlightened. I have read Proudhon, Kropotkin, Bakunin, Malatesta, Reclus brothers and some articles by lesser known anarchists, whose names I cannot remember. Could you recommend me some books to read about non-socialistic anarchism? Thank you.

Made me ponder – absolutely! I’ve said before nothing interesting ever came out of a conversation between 2 people who agreed. I am a big fan of Dialectic, the Socratic variety not the Marxist;-) Of course I was right about everything but for the record you made me ponder whether I have been more right in the past than I was about the morality of taxation, especially as it seems the poor are losing more of their income to tax than the rich. That was a revelation to me. I also ponder whether I have been more right in the past than I was about the evils of globalization. For you - I think you have a big problem justifying your anti-democracy and it puts you in the company of some shady characters, but at least you do have a good crack at it – I read your paper;-) I think more fundamentally you do yourself a disservice with your elitism and contempt for the poor, I think it detracts from the serious points that you make and dare I say it obscures the morality of some of what you say!

But actually I am :) I used to learn Dutch a few years ago, but I stopped it and I've lost the ability to use this language actively. But the passive knowledge has remained, and as I can speak German fluently, it is sometimes helpful. But I really like English, so there's no problem ;)

Do you write any political texts in French or Dutch on the Internet? If you do, I would like to read some of them :)
