Dr Murray N Rothbard delivers a brilliant talk on what he describes as America's only two "just" wars. Explanation is given as to why these two conflicts fit into a "just" category and why all other wars, including WWI & WWII, are illegitimate.

Full playlist is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clwZbQ...

Murray N Rothbard is probably the most recognized mind behind the modern resurgence of Jeffersonianism and libertarianism, and is a brilliant communicator of austrian economics in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises.

All of Dr Rothbard's works, both books and lectures, can be found at the site of the Ludwig von Mises Institute at http://www.mises.org.

  • The "Revolutionary War" was not a revolution, just as the "Civil War" was not a civil war. A "revolution" is a native rebellion aimed at overthrowing the existing government of the nation and replacing it with another. The Revolution was NOT a revolution, but a secession, colonies splitting off, not overthrowing the English monarchy. Likewise, a civil war is a battle between opposing armies for control of the nation- the Southerners had no desire to rule the North. They were both about secession

  • Amazing stuff!

  • Many Intellectuals were trying to get into America before and during the Revolution, Thomas Paine, Pierre L'Efant the architect, Alexander Hamilton and many more. I love Rothbard quoting Paine. I don't know of any Intellects trying to get into the Confederacy. Mark Twain got out of it and moved to Nevada, which entered into the Union in 1864. Rothbard still hasn't convinced me yet..3 down 2 more to go.I hope it gets better

  • The South seceded over taxes, and the North invaded them over taxes.

    The southern constitution outlawed the importation of slaves. And Lincoln supported the Corwin amendment and the fugitive slave laws.

  • The civil war was more about building a transcontinental raid-road and centralization of the federal government. Good old Abe was more racist than anyone, he was known for his dirty jokes; and if it wasn't for Boothe, he would have shipped all the African-Americans back to Africa.

  • Oh, you Objectivists. Still holding a grudge against Rothbard after all these years.

  • Slave trade was banned anyways, so the slaves were gaining rights (like when the peasants got more rights after the plague) . That war was totally unnecessary, and the motives of both sides included so many more interests other than Abolishinists Vs Slave Owners.

  • Your the ingorant ass, "liberty" is NOT FREEDOM!!

    DUH!!! A CICL"libety" is a benefit which evokes a COST.

    Lincon didnt fight the Civil War for slavery, go listen to his speeches

    A great resource to inform you on reality is: Money Masters, its here on You-Tube enjoy

  • I think vbullinger missed Dr. Rothbard's point by quite a distance.

    He simply said a Jesuit was correct on that point. He never said "follow" a Jesuit.

    Big difference there.

  • Did you just cite a Jesuit as someone to follow?

    Yikes...
