Wally Conger's Columns

A Lost Freedom Classic...Found!

" Burroughs was a lover of freedom. And no libertarian should find argument with the old American virtues of self-reliance, physical courage, and survival so explicitly depicted in The Moon Maid."  Column by Wally Conger.  

 

Discovering Equilibrium

"Roger Ebert was one of Equilibrium’s few champions among the film critic elite. He wrote: '...there are nations and religions that would find this movie dangerous. You know who you are.' And so do we."  Movie review by Wally Conger.

Ten Things To Do On Nov. 5

Instead of voting.  Column by Wally Conger.

Slinging the A-Word for Fun and Profit

"So if you agree with Thoreau that government is best which governs not at all, don't fidget and mumble about being a 'self-governor.' Declare what you really are. Call yourself an anarchist-- and do it with confidence."  Column by Wally Conger.   

Hey, Libertarians--Cheer Up!

"A real vision for victory isn't the 'nuts 'n bolts.' It’s 'Give me liberty or give me death!' It's 'Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!' A vision for victory stirs the juices. It starts pulses pounding. It rouses the sleeping masses. It drives people to the barricades. It promotes a 'will to win.'"  Another outstanding column by Wally Conger.

Why Not Reclaim the Left? Redux

"Socialists aren't the enemy. Capitalists aren't the enemy. Our enemy is the State. And only in working for a truly anti-authoritarian, pluralistic world can socialists and capitalists come together. Without the State, there is no reason voluntary collectivist communities can't coexist peacefully next to voluntary individualist neighborhoods."  A very interesting and funny column by Wally Conger.

Why Not Reclaim the Left?

"...we should take time to study or refresh ourselves in the insights of Etienne de la Boetie, the civil disobedience of Thoreau, and the non-violent resistance tactics of Gandhi. These ideas are fundamental to consistent non-political libertarian strategy."  An outstanding column by new Root Striker Wally Conger.
