The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once remarked that “mankind is doomed to vacillate eternally between boredom and distress.” Have Europe’s leaders grown bored with the long period of peace that has prevailed on most of their Continent since 1945? Do they long for the cathartic release of pent up aggression and negative feelings? It’s a notable fact that pretty much every serious combat veteran of the Second World War is now gone, which means there is no living witness of the horror of a general war on the European Continent. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has started using Churchillian language … Continue reading →

The post A Golden Opportunity: Leave NATO Now appeared first on LewRockwell.

In his book Omnipotent Government, Ludwig von Mises traces the shift in Europe from individualism to state omnipotence, highlighting the disastrous effects of empowering government to run every aspect of social and economic life: Men now seem eager to vest all powers in governments, i.e., in the apparatus of social compulsion and coercion. They aim at totalitarianism, that is, conditions in which all human affairs are managed by governments. They hail every step toward more government interference as progress toward a more perfect world; they are confident that the governments will transform the earth into a paradise. That insight aptly encapsulates the centralization … Continue reading →
