For a new liberty

What Hacker News says

   Others have done that very nicely for me, so if you really are genuinely curious I would suggest you read the following two books. Now you can start off with "Ethics of Liberty"[1] if you would like to begin with the Ethical Parts of the reasoning, but if you're more into how / why it would work (which it seems you are), I would suggest starting out with "For a New Liberty"[2]. Now these books are straight to the core, no sugar coating, so I hope you'll read them with an open mind.

   Now since you're on this site you'll probably also find the related book "Against Intellectual Property" interesting.

   If I'm going to spend the time telling my visions, I'd prefer a better platform since this thread is getting quite long. You can find a way to contact me in my profile.

   "For a New Liberty" by Murray Rothbard, not only solidified my understanding of power, politics and the state already explained in "Anatomy of the State" by the same Rothbard, but also opened my mind about the eternal struggle between power and liberty, aggression and defense, the essential traits of life in the whole universe.

   The world is a rotten place thanks to politicians, and at the same time the world is a beautiful place in spite of politicians.
