Sad conclusion, or cause for celebration?
by Rabbit
Might makes right.
Despite the logical prowess of the Austrian School, anarcho-capitalism and libertarianism theory in general, that statement is true.
With eyes wide open, I layed motionless in my bed. The gentle, pulsing glow from my computer provided the only source of light. “Annihilation” by A Perfect Circle played repeatedly.
The power of any social system lies in its mindshare. The flavor of the day, whether freedom or slavery, is subject to the power of might. If I kill you before you kill me, I am in a position of being correct by default; there is no longer a dissenting opinion.
If you disagree with me, I will kill you, too.
Then pen is mightier than the sword.
Given this fundamental understanding, I have a decision to make. To give up my efforts, or persevere.
I choose to persevere. To continue. To spread the ideas. To teach those willing to listen.

… and what a great decision that is. :)
