Gitlin describes contemporary anarchism accurately (if generally) as “a theory of self-organization,” one opposed to a plutocracy of elites who have “artfully arranged a mutual back-scratching society to enrich themselves.
For most libertarians the thought of democracy is silly, as we understand that the majority are either ignorant of the negative effects of malum prohibitum legislation and importance of the protection of individual rights or that most people are more

This is a fantasy. I know that. So please don't write in telling me "it will never happen" or "the Egyptians aren't anarchists", etc. I know it's probably not going to happen. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm saying I'd like it to.
This is a message for all those conservative Republicans upset with what the Obama administration is doing.
[Talk delivered at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, November 20, 2000.] I want to take a very basic look at one of the traditions that underlies modern libertarianism — namely, 19th-century individualist anarchism in America.

I invite you to listen. A great interview with me today - was live with host Joe Cristiano of Liberty Talk Radio (with audience questions). Here is the link to the audio archive of the show with me.
Why is it that so many people who vehemently complain about the actions of the monster in one breath, will turn around and defend the existence of the monster in the next? Simple: freedom scares them.
It's 2011 and the true patriot is still a scarce figure. Brave, hated, scorned. In America today, the patriot is a traitor to a government that has demonstrated itself to be an enemy of freedom.
We won't stand for this! We demand you stop this!" How often have people zealously made such proclamations at those in positions of power?
