If You Were King | Larken Rose PeaceRequiresAnarchy 2012-04-10 | Wouldn't it be great if YOU were in charge of everything? You could fix the world! Maybe. Maybe not."A consistent peace activist must be an anarchist." - Roderick T. Long, 'An Open Letter to the Peace Movement' http://www.peacemovement.wordpress.com"Because the state necessarily commits aggression, the consistent libertarian, in opposing aggression, is also an anarchist." - N. Stephan Kinsella, 'What Libertarianism Is' http://mises.org/daily/3660"Briefly, the State is that organization in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence in a given territorial area; in particular, it is the only organization in society that obtains its revenue not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered but by coercion." - Murray N. Rothbard, ''The Anatomy of the State' http://mises.org/pdf/anatomy.pdf"Just as war is the natural consequence of monopoly, peace is the natural consequence of liberty." - Gustave de Molinari, "The Production of Security" http://wp.me/p2cdsV-66My blog post on this video: http://peacerequiresanarchy.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/if-you-were-kingMirrored from Larken Rose:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNIgztvyU2U
(Anarcho-capitalist) Antonio Buehler on Liberty and Anarchism | Anarchy in NYC (4/20/13) PeaceRequiresAnarchy 2014-12-09 | 1:49 "Early on, all I wanted to do was be free myself. I just wanted to get out from under the boot of the Austin Police Department and the State there. But, as time went on, and as more people joined on to support me, I saw that as an opportunity to expand liberty and freedom. And I know that a lot of people have different definitions of liberty, freedom, anarchy. And there's a big mess that's going on right now with some anarchists saying that other anarchists aren't true anarchists. [AnCap] John Bush is going to talk next and he's going to say some good stuff about that whole battle. But I just believe that we should always be striving towards a freer existence for ourselves and others and we should be fighting oppression. And the oppression doesn't have to be the state. Oppression could just mean really crappy neighbors who are stealing stuff from you, or hurting their kids. Or people who are holding guns to you and asking you for your money. Those are all forms of oppression. Corporations can oppress. And so we need to acknowledge that anarchy--or the desire to live in a freer society, a more tolerant, loving society--doesn't have to be just about being anti-state. We need to address other forms of oppression as well. And I think that that is where a lot of this friction comes in with this whole, 'Well I'm this type of anarchist; you're that type of anarchist.'"Antonio Buehler's Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_BuehlerNote: While I labeled Antonio Buehler an anarcho-capitalist in the title, he generally refrains from labeling himself as such, or as any other type of anarchist, for reasons he explains above: he doesn't like the "big mess" and "friction" between self-described anarchists who call other self-identified anarchists "not true anarchists."Source / rest of video: youtube.com/watch?v=NMolwUegRq0
Libertarianism as Common Sense Morality PeaceRequiresAnarchy 2013-10-12 | No-Narration version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URpUqwD8rMcLibertarian political philosophy rests on three broad ideas:(1) A nonaggression principle in interpersonal ethics. Roughly, this is the idea that individuals should not attack, kill, steal from, or defraud one another and, in general, that individuals should not coerce one another, apart from a few special circumstances.(2) A recognition of the coercive nature of government. When the state promulgates a law, the law is generally backed up by a threat of punishment, which is supported by credible threats of physical force directed against those who would disobey the state.(3) A skepticism of political authority. The upshot of this skepticism is, roughly, that the state may not do what it would be wrong for any nongovernmental person or organization to do.Source: "The Problem of Political Authority" (p. 177).Chapter 1: http://spot.colorado.edu/~huemer/book3.htmBuy it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1137281650

Why You Should Never Celebrate Too Soon | Hans Zimmer PeaceRequiresAnarchy 2013-03-04 | Music by Hans Zimmer"-Inception Soundtrack, Trailer music - Mind Heist-":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGHI4TAC5UOriginal Video Without Music:"Why You Should Never Celebrate Too Soon":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2cK2D2IamsRicardo Peterson ( http://www.youtube.com/user/pricardo333 ) is responsible for discovering that this music synchronizes magnificently with the video. He commented on the original video saying:"1) Search "Inception Soundtrack, Trailer music - Mind Heist", click on first link.2) Play that video at EXACTLY 30 seconds, and this basketball video, at the same time.3) Enjoy"---------------------------------------Losing team scores a winning 3 points with only 0.6 seconds left in the game, all while the other team is celebrating their victory. See the priceless expression on the Coach's face as it turns from celebration to disbelief. Don't Celebrate Too Soon...---------------------------------------In one of the most amazing finishes at any level, Partizan won its fourth consecutive Adriatic League title by edging Cibona 74-75 in overtime in front of a sellout crowd in Zagreb, Croatia 2010. Dusan Kecman became the game hero with a midcourt buzzer-beating three-pointer that allowed Partizan to lift the trophy in unbelievable fashion. Cibona trailed 68-72 with seconds left but back-to-back triples by Marko Tomas and Bojan Bogdanovic gave their team a 74-72 edge with 0.6 seconds left, but Kecman stole the show right when it mattered. Kecman sank a shot that will go down in history as one of the most incredible ones in Adriatic League history.---------------------------------------One unwritten and very well-known rule in sports is to not celebrate a victory until the game is actually over. Croatian basketball team Cibona Zagreb didn't follow that principle in the NLB Championship game against Serbian team KK Partizan. After a pair of missed free throws from Partizan, Cibona raced up the court and nailed a three-pointer from the baseline to take a one-point lead. Although there were still 0.6 seconds left, Cibona celebrated on the court.But the game was not over, as the celebrators would soon learn. Dusan Kecman of Partizan heaved a 75-footer with time expiring and banked it in for the improbable victory.

The cast and crew all worked for the pleasure and the experience (bless them). We believe it is immoral to accept 'public' funding via the coercive force of the state, and again look back to the time when the giants of world cinema were fully capable of undertaking their work at the behest of the marketplace. We should only be so lucky in the future. Without kissing and telling, this movie was done on a very low budget."What's your stance on intellectual property / copyright?"An artificial and limiting concept! Please check out Against Intellectual Monopoly by Boldrine & Levine [http://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/againstfinal.htm], and Against Intellectual Property by Kinsella [http://www.stephankinsella.com/publications/#IP].

He replied, "What do you mean I could be "more radical"? This isn't good enough?" and linked to the "Is Limited Government an Oxymoron?" misesmedia video. I responded that I knew that he was this radical, but that what I meant was that he could act more radical by challenging his non-anarchist audience with pro-anarchism arguments like those in this video more often.
