Murray N. Rothbard, the founder of Anarcho-Capitalism and modern libertarianism.
Today, rather than celebrate independence, I choose to honor the true enemy of the state Murray N. Rothbard. His Anarcho-Capitalist system of a stateless society dictated by market forces, and protected by a simple code that no individual has a right to aggress against another’s person or property spawned a revolution.
Before his death in 1995 Murray Rothbard was considered by some to be the most dangerous man on the planet, a true honor. This distinction was not rendered from any ability to command an army of violent aggressors, or execute hundreds of thousands of innocent people. This distinction came from his noted brilliance in politics and economics.
A man of character, peace, and integrity he never raised a hand in aggression, never committed an act of violence, never struck a foul blow against any individual. His “crime” was his ability to educate and expose the ills and corruptions of any established State.
To this very day, through his teachings and brilliant contributions the inner workings of any State shake and crumble beneath his pen. A lack of an “independence day” is in honor of his fight against tyranny, Statism, and government coercion. Today I pay tribute to my hero Murray Rothbard.
“The greatest danger to the State is independent intellectual criticism.”
– Murray N. Rothbard.
Rest in peace.
