Well done. Though I wouldn’t say that Rothbard supported absolute values. But I know what you mean.

“Socialism as a Reaction to State Corruption”. Whatever next? I suppose you can’t get more ethical that Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao.
You know Walt has hit the nail on the head. The people always get what they want. Do you know that till this day there are many many Russians that still honor Stalin. How in the hell can people still honor a murderer? This beast and the people around him killed more than 30 million of his own people. I think it was Lord Acton that said the populace must have values and morals to maintain a Republic or democracy. As you get further and further away from ethical and moral individuals in a society you get a Russian Gulag.
“How in the hell can people still honor a murderer?”
I guess, similar to people in other countries, supporting PM’s and Presidents from both sides of the hellish aisle, they figure he was murdering for an honorable reason.
bravo, Franklin!
good reasons [real or fiction] for slaughter do not change the nature of slaughter.
