There are professed democratic governments; but, these professed democratic governments
are not genuine democratic governments. A state cannot be democratic; but, a government can
be. A state cannot be democratic; but, a society can be.
A democratic republic that......Read More

I have heard it said that "property owners were intended to be the only voters in the American
Republic because the Founding Framers of these United States knew that allowing others
to vote would eventually result in the welfare state that we have today". There......Read More

It is often said by anti-democrats that "it's impossible to allocate resources to what people
want by democratic means". I can see no reason to believe that this assertion is true.
Now, one could answer by saying that "the fact that you can't do it should be......Read More

How is the entire economy controlled today? Who controls the entire economy today? If we
lived in the ideal-type free-market and laissez-faire kind of capitalist political-economy that
some of us so admire and advocate, then how or who controls the entire economy? If what

There is an important difference between reason and reality.
Now, one may answer this by saying: "Yes. Reality trumps reason whenever there is a
conflict between the two."
But, I will answer this by saying, simply, that we do not, and we cannot know, fathom,......Read More

Human Freedom And Human Slavery
|
What I advocate is a democratic society; not an arbitrary collective.
Even in the former Soviet Union, the people were human beings, with a human nature, and
therefore they were free. If the people were not free, then they could not be held responsible
