Apparently, Price controls, interest rate controls, taking of property in the name of public good, progressively stealing and redisributing more and more of people's income, consistent increases in money supply, fleecing of people's savings, monopoly-causing regulation of businesses, trade barriers in importing and exporting, restrictions on natural rights or complete outlawry of them, imprisoning those who resist theft and aggression, funding mass murder and displacement of innocent people living thousands of miles away, are all fine, as long as they are forced down the throats of people by leaders who win popularity contests, using a group of people who didn't win anything as instruments to execute these policies, citing the written laws which these popularity contest winners can change much as they like as the legal basis for these actions, which are promptly upheld by scrutinizers who are paid by those whose actions they are scrutinising.

A Libertarian case for Progressives as a bunch of LARPs.

At some point, the seemingly idealistic Libertarian claim that taxation is theft will start becoming very realistic. It might make sense to read some Rothbard in case it catches on.

Parliamentary panel retains Income Tax Bill provisions allowing tax officials to forcibly access social media, private email

Parliamentary Committee retains controversial provisions in new Income Tax Bill 2025, allowing access to social media and emails.

"The standard of living does not simply depend on some total physical output of production; it depends much more on the proper distribution or proportioning of the various specific production factors in producing a well-balanced composition of a variety of consumer goods." - Hoppe Before socialist bros interpret this quote as a call for bureaucratic redistribution: That's not the point being made. Proper distribution here means that production follows demand rather than arbitrary edicts. Prices are allowed to rise and fall with demand in such a way that producers are able to satisfy the demands of consumers. Consumers control the allocation of capital by voting with their wallet while buying goods and services in the market. Producers have to constantly readjust based on consumer preferences, which will keep changing. Hence, over time, their demands are satisfied, while producers also profit off of it. That's how the overall standard of living is raised. GDP, income distribution, per capita income, export numbers, production metrics, visual evidence are all useful indicators for determining how the economy of a particular region is doing. But their usefulness is limited.

Calling Hoppe a fascist is retarded.
