Property, Freedom and Society | Hans-Hermann Hoppe

[aerdil]

Nothing is more conducive to proper integration into the hegemonic ideologico-political community than a ‘radical’ past in which one lived one’s wildest dreams.

"A free trade zone only requires two sentences, 'whatever you want to ship out, you ship out, whatever you want to import, you can import.'" Thank you Mr Hoppe. Interesting that Europe is still free of free trade.

[Torgo1969]

Go Hoppe! Go Germany! The guilt trip is over, so feel free to ditch the Euro and your spendthrift neighbors. Link up with the serious people like Putin in Russia!

Tucker dresses like he is from the 1920's. 

[OkonomiskNytt]

The East-German communists were more honest in their economic textbooks than Paul Samuelson! Hilarious!

Sobered up marxists are the best - they know the enemy well enough to fight them.

"There can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They-the advocates of alternative, non-family-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." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe

[Wesker1982]

@richardcadbury google: "Hoppe on Covenant Communities and Advocates of Alternative Lifestyles"

[PanzerDivisionBOM]

@richardcadbury

That is a god-damned quote mine. The formulation actually used by Hoppe in the book is not about society as a whole, and not about preserving libertarianism per se, but about voluntary covenant communities, formed around conservative ideas of family and cooperation. Your personal opinion on that lifestyle aside, what he wrote was no more controversial than writing "A nudist colony ought to expel members who insist on wearing clothes, or it will no longer be a nudist colony."

[god0fgod]

@PanzerDivisionBOM He mentioned "covenant" property but switched to "society".... Also seems to be against homosexuals somewhat. I'm sure it's been exaggerated though.

[TheLegalImmigrant05]

@richardcadbury To be fair, let's quote language preceding this text: "...in a covenant concluded among proprietors and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, …no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant ... such as democracy and communism.... 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."

Stop the pathetic attempt. I've already addressed this.

What more need be said? Nothing more!

[CurtHowland]

There is huge pressure that only "left" is against the status quo.

[sundancekid122]

Jeffrey Tucker! missed you.

[reapfreak]

I laughed hysterically when Hoppe said he used to be a leftist.

[pretorious700]

@reapfreak Being a leftist gets you laid in college, so hey, I was too.
