A New Saul Alinsky Series for Liberty Nation (Updated)

/ Andrew / 2 Comments

Liberty Nation has assigned me a new weekly series about Saul Alinsky and his 12 rules from his 1971 seminal book, Rules for Radicals.

The series looks at how the left is using Alinsky’s rules for dominate politics, pummel the right into submission, and win the culture war.

This has been an interesting series for me thus far, and I am looking forward to completing nine (the third installment will be published this week).

Here are the parts so far (updates will be here):

Rule 1: The Democrats Love Affair With Saul Alinsky: Part 1

Rule 2: Saul Alinsky: Will The Left Ever Leave The Bubble?

Rule 3: Leftist Love Affair With Saul Alinsky: Divide And Conquer

Rule 4: Alinksy, The Left, And Conservative Intelligence

Rule 5: Ridicule: Alinsky’s Political Weapon

Rule 6: Idiot’s Guide To Protesting: Get Drunk And Scream

Rule 7: Saul Alinsky: Russia, Racism, Repeat – Media Develops The Narrative

Rule 8: Saul Alinsky: No Need for Facts

Rule 9: Trump is Literally Hitler, Republicans Are the Spawn of Satan

Rule 10: The Bigger the Lie the More Will Believe It

Rule 11: Saul Alinsky: Where There’s Smoke There’s Fire

Debating the Practicality of Anarcho-Capitalism

/ Andrew / Leave a comment

Over at Liberty Nation, I debate fellow author Onar Am about the practicality of anarcho-capitalism, a branch of libertarianism that advocates abolishing the state in favor of a capitalist society.

Here is an excerpt:

Andrew Moran: The libertarian movement contains various schools of thought: monarchism, voluntaryism, paleolibertarianism, and deontological libertarianism. But there is no other branch of libertarianism that is as controversial and widely debated as anarcho-capitalism (AnCap).

The concept, which was first coined by economist Murray Rothbard in the mid-20th century, proposes abolishing a centralized state, or the government in general, and substitute it with free markets and private property. Ultimately, AnCap embraces the universal non-aggression principle (NAP).

Under an AnCap society, there wouldn’t be a government that provides roads, courts, fire departments, police forces, or even the military. These are services that would be provided for by the free-enterprise system. Rather than rely on the local authorities to protect your home from unscrupulous individuals, you can hire a business that ensures your home is well secured. Or, instead of depending on civil servants to construct and maintain roads, a private company can do it – either hired to perform this task or a company will pave the asphalt to attract customers to its store.

Talking to Walter Block About Trump, Trade, and Tariffs

For LibertyNation.com, I recently spoke with the eminent libertarian economist Walter Block, who is the author of “Defending the Undefendable” and “Water Capitalism.”

He recently published an op-ed in The New York Times, titled “Trump’s Fake Fix for a Bad Economic Policy.”

Here is an excerpt from my piece:

Work, not welfare. This is the message emanating from American farmers after President Donald Trump and his administration recently announced a $12 billion bailout package for agricultural producers. Industry leaders, public officials, and trade associations are encouraging the president to abandon his trade war and grant farmers access to foreign markets.

Legendary economist Walter Block agrees with this sentiment, writing in The New York Times that “using tax dollars to bailout farmers” will not strengthen the national economy. Block has joined the growing chorus of economists from all schools in opposing the White House’s protectionist policies, arguing that it will only hurt Americans and leave behind scores of victims.

Block, the author of Defending the Undefendable, spoke with Liberty Nation about his op-ed titled “Trump’s Fake Fix for a Bad Economic Policy,” tariffs, international trade, and the 2018 mid-term elections.

Think Liberty Ep. 7: Trump-Putin Summit & More

In episode seven of Think Liberty, I discuss the recent summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin and how it triggered the unholy alliance of the left, the media, and the neoconservatives.

Here is the video:

Please note, this was part of an unpublished interview I did, so I decided to use this for a Think Liberty episode.

Sic Semper Tyrannis: The Uprising of the Common Man

/ Andrew / Leave a comment

LibertyNation.com has a new book out titled “Sic Semper Tyrannis: The Uprising of the Common Man.”

I was one of several authors to contribute to the book.

Here is what the project is about:

Conservative news and commentary on today’s issues, seen through the lens of applied liberty. Liberty Nation authors don’t just report the news, they explain why it matters to you. Engaging and thought-provoking, this collection of articles navigates the reader through the many and varied aspects of tyranny in America today. Ultimately, Sic Semper Tyrannis reveals why true power in a Republic is and always should be – in the hands of the people.

Tyrannical governments, corporate corruption, globalist elites. These are the words that engulf modern America and create an aura of fear and victimhood.

A relentless legacy of betrayal and tyranny define the roots of political parties that are controlled by money-men who use the democratic process as a tool with which to wield and exercise power that should rightly be in the hands of the people.

Liberty Nation presents a unique series of articles from a range of writers, journalists, and analysts that examine not just the tyrannical elements of the past, but those that are hidden behind the veil of respectability in the modern age.

Sic semper tyrannis is a collection of writings that examine globalism, American politics, the tyranny of the far left, and how even today, when we are held up as the bastion of freedom and liberty, we are being slowly enslaved by a divisive and wanton agenda.
