Today is a good day to prax

I recently found an online copy of Democracy: The God that Failed by noted Anarcho-Capitalist author and economist Hans-Herman Hoppe. I just wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from it.

"True libertarians cannot emphasize enough, is that the restoration of private property rights and laissez-faire economics implies a sharp and drastic increase in social “discrimination” and will swiftly eliminate most if not all of the multi-cultural-egalitarian life style experiments so close to the heart of left libertarians. [...] In other words libertarians must be radical and uncompromising conservatives. Contrary to the left libertarians assembled around such institutions ad the Cato Institute and the Institute for Justice, for instance, who seek the assistance of the central government in the enforcement of various policies of nondiscrimination and call for nondiscriminatory or "free" immigration policy, true libertarians must embrace discrimination"

p.208

"There would be signs regarding entrance requirements to the town, and, once in town, requirements for entering specific pieces of property(for example, no beggars, bums, or homeless, but also no homosexuals, drug users, Jews, Moslems, Germans, or Zulus), and those who do not meet these entrance requirements would be kicked out as trespassers."

p.211

"In a covenant concluded among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one's own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant of preserving and protecting private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society. Likewise, in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They – the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centered lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism – will have to be physically removed from society, too, if one is to maintain a libertarian order."
