amor mundi: Dispatches from Libertopia: Rational Self Interest and Spontaneous Order in Somalia

Monday, May 18, 2009

Brought to you by the Libertopian Sooper Geniuses of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, "Stateless in Somalia and Loving It."

Marc said...: Well, THAT really stunned me.

I had seen this spoof video before, but only embedded on some webpage so I din't see the companion links to this Mises-Institute piece and another article at Reason magazine that are posted on the youtube page.

Therefore I wasn't aware that it was a response to an ACTUAL article promoting this kind of nonsense.

I thought it was just a an apt caricature of the the general nonsense coming from the more extreme libertarians. I really didn't think it possible that anyone would actually go so far as to hail the general anarchy and violence of Somalia as a positive model for a society without central government.

This is completely and utterly insane.; 11:29 PM
