“What happened? How did we — in 2025 — get so far from the dream of establishing a libertarian society? Answer: Certain elites didn’t want one. They wanted protection from the great multitude. They wanted power concentrated in a few people of their choosing, and that meant establishing a central coercive state. But directing the country away from its libertarian founding required slick political maneuvering.” (06/10/25)
