individualism for the masses

BK Marcus is an amateur political economist with no formal education in the subject.

He works from Charlottesville, Virginia as an editorial consultant for the Ludwig von Mises Institute and managing editor of Mises.org.

He is no longer a house husband, nor a faculty spouse, but he is still a dilettante and a layabout, at least in spirit.

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

Murray Rothbard

the blob and I

Socialist Appeal

I’m going to quote both Jeffrey Tucker’s blog post and the comment added by “the blob” because the blob and I had exactly the same reaction (which was to quote Ludwig von Mises, of course).

Socialists say: take it all!

Check it out: “Fannie and Freddie nationalised – let’s take over the rest.” No, it’s not the Onion. It’s Socialist.net, which is at least more honest than the Wall Street Journal in admitting what this is about.

Don’t they pause for a second why they are so in agreement with their supposed class-enemies? Why are they so happy and encourage socialisation by a right-wing facist government?

“The critics of the capitalistic order always seem to believe that the socialistic system of their dreams will do precisely what they think correct.”

– Ludwig von Mises [Critique of Interventionism, pp. 156–57]
