1327: Stephen Kinsella – The Non-Aggression Principle

The libertarian approach is a very symmetrical one. The non-aggression principle does not rule out force, but only the initiation of force. In other words, you are permitted to use force only in response to some else's use of force. If they do not use force you may not use force yourself. There is a symmetry here. — Stephan Kinsella, Lawyer, Author, Anarcho-CapitalistDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 3.78MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 279KB

1326: Stephan Kinsella – To Be An Anarchist

To be an anarchist only means that you believe that aggression is not justified, and that states necessarily employ aggression. And, therefore, the aggression they necessarily employ, are unjustified. It's quite simple, really. It's an ethical view. —Stephan Kinsella, Lawyer, Author, Anarcho-CapitalistDownload Print Quality (7680×4020) 177KB  |  Normal Quality (3840×2010) 95KB

1323: Gloria Alvarez – The Achilles Heel of the Left

The Achilles heel of the left is in discourse. Because their ideas fail. They have no way of proving to you that socialism works. So what we need to do is fight on that advantage. It’s the battle of ideas — it’s the field that we’re good in. But if we keep on fighting with each other on who is more “pure”, then our countries for sure are going to be lost. —Gloria AlvarezDownload Print Quality (6144×7680) 292KB  |  Normal Quality (3072×3840) 152KB

1322: Gloria Alvarez – You Cannot Admire Dictators

If you are up for life, if you defend life, you cannot admire murderers. If you are up for defending private property, you cannot admire thieves. If you are up for liberty you cannot admire dictators. —Gloria AlvarezDownload Print Quality (6144×7680) 316KB  |  Normal Quality (3072×3840) 159KB

1320: Thomas DiLorenzo – Lincoln Saved the Federal Union

Thus, Lincoln “saved” the federal union in the same sense that a man who has been abusing his wife “saves” his marital union by violently forcing his wife back into the home and threatening to shoot her if she leaves again. The union may well be saved, but it is not the same kind of union that existed on their wedding day. That union no longer exists. The American union of the founding fathers ceased to exist in April of 1865. —Thomas DiLorenzo, Lincoln UnmaskedDownload Print Quality (6144×7680) 323KB  |  Normal Quality (3072×3840) 167KB
