The Dawn of Late Fascism

- Lew Rockwell -

Mr. Rockwell is displeased with the State. It has not done well. He mentions the current economy and the that perennial target the Post Office, and throws in the TSA to boot. Here are two qutoes from the article:

"The State as we’ve known it – and that includes its political parties and its redistributionary, military, regulatory, and money-creating bureaucracies – just can’t get it together."

"The mask of the State is off."

He equates State abuse with those historical usurpers of power: Socialism and Fascism. Those two must go he says. True, they must go. But what does he propose as an alternative? Nothing -- in this article.

I may be in error, but I believe it is Anarchism: the absence of any objective ruling authority whatsoever, the dissolution of the United States into State entities, and the further dissolution of those entities into even smaller and smaller entities until all you have left is yourself, and, if lucky, your dog (should it even decide to stay with you). Man vs man and the rule of force (the larger cartel) deciding who's 'right'.

And I believe his candidate for President is Ron Paul -- a useful tool for that purpose. Paul has already said the Federal Government has no right whatsoever in interfering in anything a state does -- be it mandatory health care or even (unsaid yet valid to him in principle) the re-institution of slavery. He would not approve of it of course, but would not use force to stop it -- or even stop a state from leaving the Union. He is a true lover of liberty and would love the United States to death with it.

So I, too, criticize the Post Officer and the TSA and other abuses of governement power. And I condemn Socialism and Fascism as well, and that opposite but equally destructive political philosophy -- Anarchism.

I propose, instead, a return to the orginial intent of the Constitution: limited government.

Beginning of the headline : The downgrading of US debt this summer didn’t have huge economic consequences, but the psychological ones were truly devastating for the national elites who have run this country for nearly a century.For a State that regards itself as infallible, it was a huge blow that market forces delivered against the government, and it is only one of thousands that have cut against the power elite in recent years...
