In this discussion of Rothbard's seminal essay on the nature of the state, "The Anatomy of the State," Ryan McMaken takes a look at the state as a unique organization with a monopoly on the means of coercion. This organization, which is not to be confused with society in general, has its own ways of preserving itself and relating to other states.

๐จ The Great Wealth Transfer: How Fear Became the Ultimate Scam ๐จ
From the pandemic to the "green agenda," a disturbing pattern has emerged: Crisis Capitalism.
๐ The Public Pays: Lockdowns destroyed small businesses. Green mandates spiked energy costs. Fear kept us compliant while our savings eroded.
๐ฐ The Elite Profit: Tech giants and pharma saw record stock surges. Crony corporations secured trillion-dollar contracts. The ultra-wealthy got richer while the middle class got poorer.
๐ญ The Gaslight: We were told our suffering was "necessary for the greater good." Then, the restrictions lifted, the bills remained, and the architects of the chaos celebrated record bonuses.
The narrative is cracking. People are waking up to the fact that fear is just a currency used to extract wealth and consolidate power.
The era of blind trust is over. The reckoning has begun. ๐๏ธ

"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate."
