As Libertarians we are often confronted with the non-argument of "the government can do this because of the social contract", as though the social contract was some kind of philosophy dust you can sprinkle onto an injustice to make it moral. Anyway, I've written a critique of social contract...

Hello I'm brand new to the board here, although I've been listening/watching Stefan on Youtube for a while. My journey to anarchism and specifically anarcho-capitalism came through conservativism, I was an evangelical Christian conservative throughout my young adulthood. My introduction to Christianity...

Hi there, Freedomainers! Long story short, a good friend of mine with whom I always had exiting and constructive debates challanged me this the other day: "Suppose we live in your AnCapistan-Utopia. Now, I inherit a decent amount of money and decide to buy some land with it. I also talk my neighbours...
