Progressivism

The political theorist Anthony de Jasay takes on the left‘s ideas of equality, and David Gordon is there to agree—and disagree. Jasay likens the left‘s view of equality to the Indian Rope Trick.

In less than a week, the voters allegedly will choose a new president. However, will the process have integrity or just be a sham in which ballot boxes in key precincts are stuffed? If the voting numbers are like the fake statistics the Biden-Harris administration produces, we might wonder.

The outcry from establishment media figures following the decision by the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times to not endorse a presidential candidate shows how out of touch they have become about how much we rely on them. 

Would America’s federal government deliberately undermine recovery efforts to try to achieve its own desired political ends? Of course.

While it is tempting to think of state power as being maintained by sheer force, it still needs a “theological” justification, be it secular or religious. The US state is no exception.

For all of the talk about Kamala Harris being a socialist, she certainly does not advocate socialism of the kind we have seen under the old USSR or Mao’s China. Instead, her version has characteristics of Italy in the 1920s and the more notorious German version of the 1930s.

When great ones err, they often err greatly. Such was the case with Albert Einstein, who mastered quantum physics but whose view on economics were, well, unscientific.
