Fundamentally, there are only two ways of coordinating the economic activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion - the technique of the army and of the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary cooperation of individuals - the technique of the marketplace.

Whatever the issue, let freedom offer us a hundred choices, instead of having government force one answer on everyone.

The state is a force incarnate. Worse, it is the silly parading of force. It never seeks to prevail by persuasion. Whenever it thrusts its finger into anything it does so in the most unfriendly way. Its essence is command and compulsion.

Government, in it's last analysis, is organized force.

It rankles me when somebody tries to force somebody to do something.

The triumph of persuasion over force is the sign of a civilized society.

The kind of man who wants the government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic.

The state is essentially an apparatus of compulsion and coercion. The characteristic feature of its activities is to compel people through the application or the threat of force to behave otherwise than they would like to behave.

A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim.

The common denominator in all government activity is the use of force: Government either forces you to do things, forces you not to do things, or forces you to pay for things.

The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.

I do not challenge the dedication and sincerity of those who disagree with the freedom philosophy and confidently promote government solutions for all our ills. I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.

Wow.

Americans have gone stark-raving mad.

Nazis and Communists scream Libertarians care about trifling issues, but Libertarians aren't the ones who who want to regulate teakwood.

Americans say Nazism is the American way because Communism killed more people.

Americans scream Libertarians support forcing every American to have mandatory credit debt.

Americans swear remaining quiet is the answer to tyranny.

Americans say anyone opposed to TSA groping is an Anarchist.

Americans scream Libertarians are Commies.

Americans insist owning tigers must be illegal because tigers will go extinct, but people now own cats and dogs. Do pet owners have a vested interest in killing their own cats and dogs?

Americans are so retarded today that they say shoes are made by the government.

Americans say US schools have always portrayed the USSR as a paradise.

Americans say they want to live in a bankrupt warmongering police state because having a nuclear superpower would be safer than having 3000 small countries.

Americans insist that you are still moral when you cheat on your wife if you are not bisexual.

Americans have become so batshit insane now that they insist anyone wearing a costume, badge, and a gun is a holy god, but do the Gestapo ever make mistakes?

Why should anyone care if you own guns, use prostitutes, go to church, or smoke?

Have Americans ever read a history book before?

Americans have become such pussified snowflakes now that they beg their beloved government overlords to protect them from scary illegal immigrants and guns.

The USA had open borders before, why not now? Do you really think that the US never had black people before today?

If banning guns will stop people from shooting others, will outlawing murder stop homicides?

The government regulates airlines, but do airplanes still crash?

Americans are simply unable to understand that decrees have unintended consequences.

China used to say all birds must be killed, but then insects multiplied and lead to starvation.

China used to say that the population must grow, but population growth lead to a one child policy. Now China doesn't have enough young people and the sex ratio is lopsided because boys outnumber girls.

Americans start wars and are then stunned that there are refugees, terrorism, tyranny, and debt.

The US bans business and then Americans are shocked when homelessness increases.

The US starts a trade war and then Americans are completely dumbfounded that no one buys US exports and prices soar.

Americans say coffee must be banned because it is dangerous, but what if an expert wrote a study saying coffee is safe?

Could there possibly be any other way to other way to help the environment besides arresting users of straws?

Americans scream seatbelts must be mandatory because accidents raise insurance costs, but if insurance rates are so important then why not ban skydiving, rope, swimming pools, and ladders, too?

Americans say that the government should tell you what color to paint your house because property values might decrease, but whose home is it? Do you realize that if the Gestapo can tell your neighbor to remove his garden, the Gestapo could tell you to get rid of your flag?

Do Americans who hate freedom feel like traitors?

A true libertarian supports free enterprise, opposes big business; supports local self-government, opposes the nation-state; supports the National Rifle Association, opposes the Pentagon.
