Traducido al español por Camila Figueroa. ​Motivos psicológicos del colectivismo El colectivismo es una doctrina de la “mente de la multitud”, una filosofía de la incompetencia.

Psychological Motives Behind Collectivism Collectivism is a doctrine of the “crowd mind”, a philosophy of incompetency. To those who have ever been the losers in the unequal, privileged, and despotic struggle for existence, who have not felt the glory and satisfaction of conquering obstacles and the achievement of aims, the thought of peace and security…

Things are at a bit of a standstill with the Laurance Labadie Archival Project, and this is mainly due to the fact that on top of all the other work I’m doing I simply do not have the time or energy to transcribe, edit, and respond to each of his works. The last of these…

Eric Fleischmann, Announcing: The Laurance Labadie Archival Project, October 26th, 2021. Tłumaczenie: Michał Leon Ślużyński. Laurance Labadie (1898-1975) – syn anarchisty, działacza związkowego i Greenbackera Jo Labadie’ego – był zrzędliwym i trudnym człowiekiem. Cenił tradycję, którą uważał za niesłusznie odrzuconą w imię postępu, i obracał się w specyficznych, czasem gorszących kręgach (wiele lat po śmierci Labadiego,…

Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Commento di Laurance Labadie all’intervista concessa da Kerry Thornley a Harry Pollard su Dialogue Forse è ingiusto commentare le idee in fatto di economia espresse dal signor…

I am not a[n official] historian. I have never worked professionally in any field of historical studies. Difficulty in the details of the Laurance Labadie Archival Project is therefore bound to happen, with the latest conundrum being how the surname Labadie is pronounced. In my recent appearance on Mutual Exchange Radio, I used the pronunciation…

Eric Fleischmann, Laurance Labadie’s “Economics of Liberty”. 30 listopada 2021 r. Tłumaczenie: Michał Leon Ślużyński. Ekonomia wolności Poniższy tekst stanowi w zamierzeniu zwięzły i jasny zarys libertariańskiej teorii ekonomicznej. Wolność oznacza zarówno bycie wolnym od, jak i bycie wolnym do [wolność negatywną i pozytywną – przyp. tłum.]; niezależność, a nie wymuszoną współzależność. Jako że niezależność…

Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale pubblicato il 17 giugno 2022 con il titolo Laurance Labadie’s “Objections to Communism”. Traduzione italiana di Enrico Sanna. Osservazioni critiche sul comunismo 1. Mette sullo stesso livello capaci e incapaci, pigri e operosi, parsimoniosi e spendaccioni. 2. Quindi premia l’ozio e non incentiva l’operosità e la parsimonia. 3. Costringe chi non…

Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale: Laurance Labadie’s “Anarchy and Law”. Tradotto da Enrico Sanna. Anarchia e diritto Per una migliore comprensione occorrono chiarezza, precisione e attinenza. Ora l’anarchismo, in quanto filosofia sociale, ha il difetto di non essere una teoria affermativa riguardo l’attività umana. È una filosofia negativa, cerca di capire cosa impedisce all’individuo di raggiungere…

La giustizia Fino a che punto è giustificabile, se è giustificabile, la violenza? Prima di rispondere dobbiamo dire cos’è la “giustizia”. Cosa intendiamo per giustizia? E dobbiamo intenderla in termini individuali o di società? Quanto hanno in comune…

Comments by Laurance Labadie on Interview Between Kerry Thornley and Harry Pollard on “Dialogue”  It may be somewhat gratuitous to comment on what Mr. Kerry Thornley has said on what he considers to be his understanding of economics in only a half hour show, but he has said enough I think plus his explicit endorsement…

Superstition and Ignorance versus Courage and Self-Reliance Every well informed person knows, today, that man has evolved from lower forms of animal life. With this evolution in my mind, we may imagine the progress he has made in ideas and social valuations. Primitive man worshipped the sun, which was natural because from it came both…

Di Eric Fleischmann. Originale pubblicato il 9 giugno 2022 con il titolo Laurance Labadie’s “Marxian Socialism”. Traduzione italiana di Enrico Sanna. Il socialismo può essere interpretato in parte come l’eterna aspirazione, l’eterna fede dell’uomo in un futuro migliore. L’atteggiamento dogmatico e presuntuoso bolla il socialismo come antiscientifico. Nell’interpretare materialisticamente la storia, il socialismo esagera l’importanza…

Justice To what extent, if any, is violence justifiable? To answer this question some standard of “justice” must be postulated. What are we to understand by the term justice? Are we to determine it in terms of the individual or in terms of society? To what extent do these starting points overlap? Does the individual,…

Objections to Communism It places the inefficient on par with the efficient, the lazy with the industrious, and the thrifty with the extravagant. Therefore it places a premium on idleness and lacks spur to industry and thrift. It makes the celebate contribute for the support of the children of his procreative brother. It divides responsibility…

Comments on S.E. Parker Re article by Sid Parker Mr. Parker totally misapprehends the meaning of the economics of liberty or anarchy. He can hardly evade the charge of being remiss, nor gloss over what may be his own ignorance, by attributing the words “panacea” and “system” to the insistence of individualist anarchists that equitable…
