(A short thought) In defence of Democracy. Jun 14, 2017

A friend of mine recently made a Facebook post that read: "Democracy is the bizarre concept that you are too stupid to run your own life, but smart enough to elect the men that will run it for you.". I have to disagree with this notion and I wish to challenge it. This will be part of my talk about "The Liechtenstein Model for market governance and self-determination", that I will be giving at the CoraxConf2017, following my paper of the same title which I published through Fundación para el Avance de la Libertad and which can be found here: http://www.fundalib.org/…/01/Andreas-Kohl-TLM-EMDL-01-2017.… Here was my reply:...

What Anarchy means to me; what I am fighting for. Jan 1, 2017

All quotes in this article are from His Serene Highness, Hans-Adam II, the Reigning Prince of Liechtenstein (“The State in the Third Millennium”, 2009); “I would like to set out in this book the reasons why the traditional state as a monopoly enterprise not only is an inefficient enterprise with a poor price-performance ratio, but even more importantly, becomes more of a danger for humanity the longer it lasts.”   I am an anarcho-capitalist. I define a “government” as an organisation which provides “governance services” (which can include any number of a variety of services, but at a minimum usually consists...

My Take on the Alt-Right Nov 7, 2016

This article was inspired by Anenome's brilliant piece here. Perhaps I can not say that I fully agree with him and the way that he has presented his arguments - it may even be possible that ideologically speaking, I actually stand somewhere in between Anenome and the alt-right... I'm not entirely sure yet, but there are some things that I am certain about, and I would like to talk about them a bit more on here.   On one hand, virtually everything that Anenome has to say about IQ is true and shouldn't be overlooked by the alt-right; for instance, his comments...

Why I’m not voting this year, and why it’s okay if you don’t either Nov 3, 2016

The concept of democracy within a compulsory monopoly of governance is a farce, but truth is, the more voters are involved in a democratic system, the more absurd and pointless the farce is and the less libertarians should be concerned with it. I'm a US citizen who has never resided in the US but happens to be eligible to register for the NY absentee ballot, and this is the first presidential election I'm eligible to vote for, though registering is a much more complex procedure in my case than it is for the average voter. As it is, my opportunity cost...

Why leaving the European Union IS the only possible libertarian position Apr 19, 2016

If you are in favour of freedom of movement and/or trade, then you should be fighting to leave the EU.

How libertarians can fight the North Korean regime: A call for action Feb 24, 2016

To me, being a “libertarian” means to be categorically opposed to any deprivations of liberty. When I apply this label to myself and when I use it to define the purpose of my actions, what I am essentially saying to the world is: “Can you see the misery of the people who have been totally deprived of all their individual freedoms? I want to put a stop to this misery and I want to make sure it never spreads anywhere else. I want everyone, to the fullest extent possible, to be free to choose their own way in life”. Most of...

Dr. Rahim Taghizadegan — Liberty in Europe with the Bitcoin Couple Oct 5, 2015

Dr. Rahim Taghizadegan is a distinguished scholar at the Institut für Wertewirtschaft in Vienna, Austria, which has recently been relaunched as “Scholarium.” We will discuss the Scholarium’s study program based on the Austrian School. Additionally, we will discuss the original Austrian School and the modern Viennese perception, which differs a bit from the US. Finally, Dr. Taghizadegan will highlight his efforts to bring Austrian economics back to Austria.

Liberty And Austrian Economics In The Principality Of Liechtenstein Jun 12, 2014

"Let us create a country in which, to the extent possible, the individuals themselves, not the State, shall make each individual's decisions and decide upon their needs" - I would invite readers of this article to make their own conclusions on Liechtenstein, its sovereign family, and whether or not it exemplifies the libertarian values which we hold so dearly, but personally I need no further convincing.

Anarchy is possible in our lifetime May 15, 2014

What a great time to be an anarchist. Indeed, our philosophy is thriving, and never before has humanity been closer to liberty. This is true in spite of the seemingly endless wars that are being fought all over the world, regardless of Europe’s ever more likely federalisation and against all the governmental encroachments that can be observed globally.
