Early Week At Center For A Stateless Society
In What’s Good for Chicago?, I commented on Reuters coverage of the Supreme Court ruling against Chicago’s handgun ban.
Reuters characterized the ruling as “a defeat for Chicago.” By “Chicago” they mean the current administration of the Chicago government. If “Chicago” had meant people in the city who don’t want to rely on the armed enforcers of the local political machine, the ruling is a win for Chicago.
I really wanted to do my monthly feature on the Porcupine Freedom Festival. So I banged out To Alter and Abolish – An Anarchist at Porcfest 2010.
I’m just recovering from a great weekend at the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival. The campground-based event in New Hampshire is not just a huge party with some of the coolest libertarians to ever throw lit matches at each other. It also offers a glimpse into a future of freedom.
Then I realized that I should really comment on the G-20 Summit. So I wrote The State Will Always Self-Justify.
Some have said that the actions taken by black bloc protestors – donning masks and black clothing to smash windows and burn police vehicles – will be used by the state to justify the massive security apparatus surrounding the summit. But the state will always find a reason to act as they do – whether it is assaulting peaceful protesters or filling streets with poison gas to deter those who fight back.
