"the immiserating orderings of society have never been voted away, but that electoralism—for all the plaintive promises that we can both rabble-rouse and ballot-box—has regularly served as a mechanism of capture for potentially transformative social movements."

The only consistent market anarchist position: dynamic price signals coupled with looting.

And really, the only way markets could ever even approximate their claims of efficient distribution in societies with poverty is if some people get things for free.

The New Testament includes several passages that warn against false teachers and express frustration that the earliest Christian communities are so easily taken in by lies. That this has been an ongoing problem since the beginning, for almost 2,000 years, makes me almost suspect that the people who are attracted to Christianity tend to be people who are attracted to any old nonsense that makes them feel like they have been given privileged knowledge.

Many inspiring quotations in this article (1907):

"it is the very ones who declaim so unceasingly about “law and order” who are themselves the corrupters of the nation’s morals, the buyers of its legislatures, the polluters of its courts, the defilers of its elec-torate,  the  stealers  of  its  public  domain,  and  the  heartless  vampires  that suck the lifeblood of the people."

"Treason  to  despotism  is  devotion  to  freedom.  “Law  and  order”  is  a phrase mouthed by hypocrites to command the obedience of cowards."

"The capitalist class buys law, as it does labor, using the one to fleece the other, and what it means by “law and order” is cringing submission to slavery."

"'Law and order' is the wand of the imposter, the mask of the robber. Beware of him who ceaselessly gabbles about the sanctity of the law."

"John Brown,  were  he  living  today  and  saw  the  slaves  in  the  pits  and mills and their babes in the sweatshops, would again don the panoply of battle and swear death to wage-slavery. Were he living today he would be hated and persecuted as fiercely as he was by the chattel slave aristocracy half a century ago. But he is dead. And the ruling class against which he rebelled, the ruling class which put him to death and which he cannot now resist, seizes him as one of its own heroes and insults his memory by en-rolling his name in its calendar of saints."

"the idle owners, by the mere fact of ownership, get most of what the miners produce. The workers have submitted to this exploitation long and patiently, but the limit has about been reached. Why should they have to deliver up to others the wealth they produce? Why not themselves enjoy the fruit of their own labor?"

"Chattel  slavery  has  disappeared.  Wage-slavery has yet to be conquered. The struggle has already begun. There can be no compromise and no retreat"

"The wage system has only slavery for the working class and oft-times even that is denied them. It has served its time and purpose and must soon be abolished. The workers do not need masters; they can and must be their own."

The genesis of the Gadsden flag comes from a May 1751 editorial cartoon from Ben Franklin’s newspaper. It ran alongside a story calling for colonial governments to unify, act as one.

Today, it means almost the opposite.

Maybe too focused on Preston specifically, but I think this 2011 article is a good reminder for libertarians that not all decentralism is liberating.

Good article in the Austin Chronicle from 2009 on Brandon Darby

Local protests began in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area of Minnesota before quickly spreading nationwide and in over 2,000 cities and towns in over 60 countries in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Protests continued throughout June, July, and August, with polls at the time estimating that between 15 million and 26 million people had participated at some point in the demonstrations in the United States, making the protests the largest in United States history.

I recently discovered Daniel Walden's book reviews on Current Affairs.

"the world at which we aim, the kingdom whose coming Christ proclaimed, will not settle our debts and contracts but abolish them completely; that even those who didn’t join the struggle until the eleventh hour will be welcome at the feast; that the moment at which love appears utterly defeated, when it looks to the world like a victim crucified by state violence, will in the end be revealed as love’s final, all-embracing triumph."

Charles Monroe Sheldon (February 26, 1857, Wellsville, New York – February 24, 1946, Topeka, Kansas) was an American Congregationalist minister and leader of the Social Gospel movement. His novel, In His Steps, introduced the principle of "What Would Jesus Do?" which articulated an approach to Christian theology that became popular at the turn of the 20th century and had a revival almost one hundred years later.
