Perhaps one of the biggest bloggers on the Uk blogesphere is the Devils kitchen... He is amongst that very rare comodity a libertarian englishman... I say rare, because indeed, most britains barely get the concept of socialism and conservatism... Anything beyond those paths is seen as extreme and totalitarian... Or perhaps just plain silly...
The devil however manages to show nothing but contempt for this national psyche... He manages to bludgeon his way through most debates with a caustic wit and an acidic tongue... he also does it with great depth and intelligence too...
He wrote a lovely piece about democracy today, for which I must share
Some call it democracy: I call it tyranny.
And I reject it.I do not wish to be forced into state subjugation by the stupid, the ignorant and the just plain bastard lazy.
I do not wish to be forced to associate those with whom I have no wish to spend my time.
I do not wish to be forced to close my mouth for fear of arrest.
I do not wish to find myself locked away without trial, not knowing what I am accused of.
I do not wish to be an indentured servant, half of the product of my hard work stolen to pay for the lifestyles of those who are parasitic on the productive.
I reject this statist evil and I reject the validity of this democracy—this tyranny of the majority—this totalitarianism of the lazy and stupid over those who think and would be free.
I am not interested in democracy, but in liberty. And our democracy is proving, as any system of government always does eventually to be the enemy of liberty.
Regrettably we are all resigned to this fate within our own lifetime, well most of us at least. Happily mind, in the full knowledge that one day these ideas will become the norm one day...

Murray Newton Rothbard (March 2, 1926 – January 2, 1995)
Probably the first public anarcho capitalist to actually describe himself as such. His ideas were a tour de force comparable perhaps with Ayan Rand. He was more an economist than a philosopher, but his oration skills were a joy to listen to, his humour was quite acute and very entertaining.
This was one of his more prolific speeches that he made in 1989, not long after the cold war had ended and the Soviet Union had collapsed. He was quite upbeat about the future of a smaller state. I would like to wonder what his thoughts were now for the future. However, what ever his thoughts would be, you would be guaranteed to be surprised by them for sure.

Murray Rothbard, was quite a force in libertarian thought. This video gives a wonderful introduction to his anarcho capitalist roots. Yes that is Ron Paul seemingly narrating the Rothbard text. It's an ironic quip regarding Pauls libertarian roots and his failure to call for a no state solution.. Enjoy
Well, well.. Recently I'v e had a huge change of heart recently regarding philosophy and politics.. My continual whinges about goverment and lobbyists have all but been totally removed... I have left a few for sentimental reasons (the more well written)... I have now embraced anarchy, to be more precise anarcho capitalism...
Finally I have found a philosophy that frees my mind and allows me to embrace the REAL world around me and stop me from becoming frustrated and disempowered by things I have no control over...
This is an interesting video introduction to a new book called 'everyday anarchy' authoured by a Stefan Molyneux
