The Folly of Voting
Guest post by Freedom Press (circa 1904). I shall not vote in the coming general election. I am fully aware that this will be of little consequence so far as the result of the contest is concerned, and that is one of the reasons for not voting. But I have other reasons, chief among them…
Voluntaryism is for Everyone
Guest post by MarketAnarchy.com. You already believe in voluntary interactions; I’d be willing to bet that 95% of your life, or more, is made of purely voluntary interactions. You probably talk to other people peacefully, you trade voluntarily, and you get whatever it is you want from life without forcing other people to obey you…
The Anti-Educational Effects of Public Schools
Guest post by Gennady Stolyarov II. With so many state governments’ budgets now under severe strain, there are serious discussions throughout the country about whether or not to cut state funding to public education — an expenditure that, in some states, consumes more than half the budget.

Ultimately, this is the core of the state’s power; the use of…
Seven Sins of Our System of Forced Education
Guest post by Peter Gray. The question worth debating is this: Is forced education–and the consequential imprisonment of children–a good thing or a bad thing? Most people seem to believe that it is, all in all, a good thing; but I think that it is, all in all, a bad thing. I outline here some…
On “Illuminati”, “New World Order”, Etc.
Regarding “secret combinations” such as the “Illuminati” and their plan for a “New World Order“, I don’t pay much attention to these “political machinations” because I want to see it abolished in toto. Secret combinations need a power structure to infiltrate and “combine” with. I oppose any establishment of a monopoly power structure, ie. the…
