F. A Hayek: Road to serfdom.

2 Upvotes

Here is the book youtube. I'm sure Hayek would like to learn how we got put into serfdom that we see today of the state. We took the slow road to serfdom. Some welfare, some free healthcare, and now we lost control of it all. It's worth buying the audiobook. Audible has many books on the topics Ludwig von Mises, Thomas Sowell books are included and Milton Freidman. Also the Mises Institute have loads of free books and podcasts, etc. So you can understand our goals.

How we dismantle the state?

2 Upvotes

As many of you are aware nobody in Scotland has any idea about libertarian and free market policy. So we need to educate. We might not be able to just destroy the state and live happy. We owe debt. We have huge problems with army. And entire democratic process to begin with helps the left

Making a proper movement.

1 Upvotes

So I have looked at Scottish libertarian party manifesto and is a bit all over the place IMO. We need to increase our numbers and get people. So question remains should we start a new party or join the current one? whats everyone's thoughts as we have chance with corruption to win elections. We need to go on the attack against the state and socialists.

Nuclear Question

1 Upvotes

As a libertarian, I think one of the biggest challenges to the ethos is that the free market alone is seemingly not capable of delivering large infrastructure projects particularly Nuclear plants. They take a long time to comission and they require massive upfront capital for a market rate payout per GW/h meaning that they are more expensive than equivelant power sources. Also contrarian to libertarian ideals they absolutely require a high degree of state regulation to execute safely. Now as a result of failure of states to invest billions in them a decade ago (a plus from a libertarian standpoint) western Europe can barely keep the lights on. I have to pay over 300 GBP a month to heat a small home and that is with my conservative use of the 'on' buttton

Can anyone tell me why the above does not suggest that a totally free market with minimal state intervention and spending is too volatile to be trully practical.

Maybe you see that the world is going in the wrong direction – or maybe it’s going straight to hell. So what are you going to do?
