An archon-free world is an ideal world.
Dedicated to the realization of an archon-free world. See an archon-based understanding of voluntary relationships for more information on the topic.
We discuss philosophical topics, current events, and ethics of everything related to relationships with archons (politicians, teachers, abusive parents, police, or any other aggressive people). We talk about, and come up with, rational strategies to strip archons and archists of their power and influence, and bring about an archon-free world. We collect and share knowledge related to these topics with others.
While we do encourage live-spirited debate and hard-core questioning of ideas, we do have a zero tolerance policy for aggressive or abusive people, defenders of archons (religious, political or familial), and people who act to disrupt our community. This is intended to be a community of people who are 100% anti-aggression, and we will keep it that way.

Overall, the cross-country evidence, the cross-state evidence (of Alesina, Baqir and
Easterly, 1999, 2000, and the work presented here) and the survey evidence given here (and of Luttmer, 2001 and in Alesina and LaFerrara, 2001) all suggest that hostility between the races limits support for welfare. It is clear that racial heterogeneity within the US is one of the most important reasons why the welfare state in America is small. http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/glaeser/files/why_doesnt_the_u.s._have_a_european-style_welfare_state.pdf

My thoughts: This also explains: ...
why it grew a lot after the spread of nationalistic thought after WWI and WWII.
why the welfare state was invented by conservatives and nationalists in Prussia.
why the welfare state is so diffused in Nordic countries, that are relatively homogeneous as a population.
And, WILL explain why restricting or preventing immigration will not reduce the welfare state or the power of the state in general.
As Rothbard explained, the state derives its power through consensus (see: the Anatomy of the State. https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/4f3zir/m_rothbard_the_anatomy_of_the_state_how_the_state/ ) and, as I understand it, the consensus is reached easily if the people think of each other as a big family, as a nation...
this is true. they are lying!
I'm wanting to expand my knowledge on authoritarianism for a couple of articles I'm planning, specifically how authoritarianism forces you to act on someone's word, not the facts of reality.
It is best enjoyed with the New tab, as linked here. Bookmark it, then visit it throughout the day to get the latest liberty news, events, rants and posts that happen on Reddit. Forget about having to hunt-and-peck for information -- this is the real deal.

Feel free to suggest others! I am always looking to add new stuff to this multi, and since the multi is oriented to being used through the New tab, adding low-volume subs won't hurt the quality of the experience.
I hope you'll forgive that you need to enable NSFW in your reddit preferences because the cryptoanarchy mods decided to mark the entire sub as NSFW.
