Murray N. Rothbard Quote

Since the State necessarily lives by the compulsory confiscation of private capital, and since its expansion necessarily involves ever-greater incursions on private individuals and private enterprise, we must assert that the state is profoundly and inherently anti-capitalist.

Until the State becomes an ever present omnipotent God...and the people have nothing. This is what is ultimately desired by both the Progressives and the Neo-Cons. Don't forget to vote for the lesser of two weasels! ;-)  -- J Carlton, Calgary
Since the anti-capitalists: introduction of debt for money, confiscation of all private property (allodial ownership not being recognized - title, license, rental, etc. to property being offered only), prosecutions of real money minters, securities substitution for private capital and expanded criminality of compulsory confiscations, pure laissez-faire capitalism has almost been relegated to a long lost remembrance (a definitive concept lost). The anti-capitalists offer an expanded larceny under a misleading term of crony-capitalism (erroneously replacing definitions for capitalism) to hide capitalism's realized freedom and prosperity from those that would be liberty's sovereigns.  -- Mike, Norwalk
