When we study the works of certain thinkers, philosophers and intellectuals, we realize that many of them, in the later stages of their lives, began to defend concepts, ideas and proposals that can be considered vastly different from everything they defended during their youth.

The Trump administration has just announced the withdrawal of the tariffs adopted a little over a week ago, keeping only the tariffs imposed on China. Of course, Chinese goods will not be affected by tariffs because importers will take care to sneak them through duty-free countries before bringing them into the US. Factories in Mexico and Canada will continue to produce, the US will continue to de-industrialize. The Trump administration has basically backed down completely.

Would you hand over your debit or credit card to random teenagers, letting them spend freely and without limits, even if it means going into debt?

Most people would likely say no to this. Yet, we allow our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats to wield similar power. Many of them seem to have the same mentality and unrealistic idealism as a typical fifteen-year-old who, if given unlimited access, would likely spend their parents’ money to the point of bankruptcy.

Even if I decide to make the effort to buy a highly exotic, completely atypical laptop, I won’t be able to avoid transferring money to Vanguard or BlackRock. For the reader of this text it is important to note that from the perspective of Vanguard or BlackRock production is vertically integrated, it is also important to note that laptops are not only consumer goods but are often enough capital goods or means of production in the Marxist jargon.

Leftists love to use the United States embargo to justify Cuba’s misery instead of acknowledging that socialism is an inherently flawed economic system that is doomed to fail.

Facebook’s algorithms, influenced by overzealous woke standards, have been flagging and deleting our posts, even when the term “chicken” was used in entirely innocent contexts.

The aim of this article is not to oppose the idea of participating in democracy. In an ideal Libertarian Order, democracy would be nonsensical and even contrary to libertarian principles, since democracy typically involves creating laws that may violate individuals’ legitimate property rights and supporting the entire anti-libertarian system of positive laws. However, given that we are currently far from achieving such a libertarian order, the purpose of this piece is to assess whether adopting democratic strategies is a pragmatic approach for libertarians. Specifically, this analysis aims to determine whether libertarian parties and campaigns are worthwhile or merely a futile expenditure of time and energy.

If you delve into the works of the great Austro-Libertarian authors like Ludwig von Mises, Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and Murray Rothbard, and carefully examine their annotations, you will discover that their writings are rich with intriguing sources that extend beyond economics and the libertarian framework of social theory. These incredible men were erudite scholars.

Recently, I encountered some comments on social media asserting that having children violates the non-aggression principle (NAP) and constitutes an authoritarian action. This view may appear illogical to many. However, it is not the first time I have encountered such arguments. What particularly surprised and motivated me to write this article is how some people struggled to counter this flawed argument, and even more concerning, how some were persuaded by its initial premise.

Culture is a term that refers to the beliefs, customs, practices, and social behaviours shared by a particular group or society. It encompasses the knowledge, art, language, philosophy, and social institutions that characterise a group of individuals. Culture can only be alive to the extent that people practice it. Cultural changes don’t happen by chance, and culture is always changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but it is always people who are acting to change the culture or to preserve it.
