An interesting look at how corporatism goes hand in hand with statism

I am the man who loves his life

"I am the man who loves his life.. I am the man who does not sacrafice his love or his values.. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world.. And if you wish to know why you are perishing, you who dread knowledge.. I am the man who will now tell you.."

This is John Galt speaking - Part 1

This is a beautiful adaptation of a speech made by John Galt from Ayan Rands novel Atlas Shrugged. The authors name I'm not aware of. He is called XCowboy2 on his YouTube channel and clearly exhibits a great love of Rands work. The magnificently staged juxtaposition of imagery, music and speech is simply breathtaking. This is still a work in progress from what I gather, however you can see part two and onwards here. I cannot recommend the viewing of them enough and look forward to there final completion. Enjoy and be touched.

UPDATE - It would seem that the embedding of this video has been removed. To view it you will have to go here.

A Legend indeed...

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.
