> "If anyone thinks that the government’s omnipotent power to kill drug-war suspects on the high seas is limited to foreigners, he is living in a world of hyper-naiveté and delusion. With those killings in cold blood on the high seas, the U.S. government, especially the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA, are sending a powerful message to the American people: “We are in charge. What we are doing here on the high seas, we can do anywhere and to anyone, including Americans, and there isn’t anything anyone can do to stop us. Get used to it.” --[The Ruthlessness and Brutality of the U.S. Government, by Jacob G. Hornberger]() The US #GovtIsTheProblem

Instead, they simply view #libertarianism as a “weird” philosophy that purports to achieve what we already have — a free society." --[The Ruthlessness and Brutality of the U.S. Government, by Jacob G.

> "What Hoppe finds most desirable about Liechtenstein is the fact that its state is entirely privately owned. As Hans-Adam points out in his book: “The costs of our monarchy, unlike all other monarchies, are covered by the private funds of the princely family.” The prince does not live off taxes; on the contrary, he supports the state, which is his patrimony. This is what makes this monarchy a form of “anarcho-capitalism.” #anarchy #voluntarism
