"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Fear Not the Gallows, Ye Radicals
"To paraphrase Stephan Molyneux, empires grant a certain amount of liberty to their citizens in order to make us more happy, efficient, and productive, and thus encourage more economic growth--which they then exploit through taxation to expand their own profit and power. Likewise, it is more efficient to maintain a fa?ade of liberal democracy over other methods. If the people find it favorable, it makes it so much easier for the ruling class to claim and defend a sense of legitimacy--and thus maintain power and privilege." Column by Marcel Votlucka.
