POLITICS

If there is a chance to not only pull society away from the social and economic abyss towards which it is moving, but return it to a path more in the direction of personal liberty, economic freedom, and equal individual rights under partial rule of law and constitutionally limited government, it requires resisting the pessimism that all is lost and irreversible, and having the courage and willingness to try to restore the free society. 

A silver lining to this pandemic is that now more parents are learning about their options outside the government schooling system.

We must embrace individual freedom as the answer to this crisis. End the lockdowns, and end the collectivist approach to solving this crisis.

If we keep giving the state more power over our lives, we will freeze in the dark.

Is it possible to envision Rome experiencing an industrial revolution?

The collectivism virus need not destroy us, if we immunize ourselves with the philosophy of liberty and market liberalism. What we need is herd immunity, but that requires as many of us as possible to spread the ideas of freedom to as many of our fellow citizens as is possible. 

In implementing these types of dictates and commands, with the implied attitude that government officials have no restraints on their controls and decrees other than the ones they decide to impose on themselves, American politicians are no different than their implicit mentors in Beijing, China.

My prediction is that Americans, left to their own tendencies, will roar together as giants and will ignore the political and media crybabies.

A wholesale economic lockdown in a pandemic does not protect but violates rights.

The point of the principle of indivisibility is to remind us that the various freedoms rise or fall together, even if with various lags, even if some freedom, for a time, seems to be rising as others fall; in whatever direction the freedoms move, eventually they tend to dovetail.

Grievance scholars, from gender studies, queer, sexuality and critical race studies, bully students, administrators, into adhering to their worldview.

If we want economic prosperity and human flourishing, we need to understand capitalism and advocate for it globally—and to shun countries like China that continue to violate individual rights.

Riding out storms and sharing risks across billions of people is a feature, not a bug, and the affluent capitalist nature of our institutions puts us in a better position to deal with them.

Libertarians are right that the size, scope and power of government expand amid crises, but there’s no necessity to this, as they assume, and they have no remedy – even during crises – because they hate the state more than statism; but a new book takes a better approach.

Government’s rules often make it harder for private actors to help people. In a crisis, America’s unsung heroes are people who overcome that.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie,” he said. “One word of truth outweighs the world.”

In a time of crisis we need leaders to communicate openly, frankly, and truthfully.

Fundamental to everything that governments have been doing is the presumption that the crisis can only be handled and solved through a comprehensive system of political command and control.
