Nathan Goodman. Artículo original: Constraining the Night-Watchman State, del 27 de noviembre de 2020. Traducido al español por Luis Vera. Muchos libertarios favorecen restringir al Estado a unas competencias limitadas, usualmente el mantenimiento de la policía, las cortes, las prisiones y los servicios de seguridad diseñados para proteger los derechos individuales. Este “Estado protector” o…

Okumak üzere olduğunuz makale, Alex Aragona tarafından kaleme alınmış ’ye çevrilmiştir. 28 Ekim 2020 tarihinde “Against Libertarians Who Want to Shrink the State by Capturing It” başlığı altında yayınlanmıştır. Kendini liberter olarak tanımlayan pek çok kişi arasında, bir dereceye kadar saygı duysam da yanıltıcı ve tamamen elverişsiz olarak gördüğüm bir düşünce hâkim. Şöyle bir şey:…

Many libertarians favor constraining the State to a limited set of powers, typically to the maintenance of police, courts, prisons, and security services designed to protect individual rights. This “protective state” or “Night-watchman” state is seen as the minarchist ideal. However, I think some libertarians forget that even a state only devoted to these protective…

Alex Aragona. Título original: Against Libertarians Who Want to Shrink the State by Capturing It, 28 de outubro 2020. Traduzido por Gabriel Serpa. Existe um sentimento, entre muitos autointitulados libertários, com o qual eu simpatizo até certo ponto, mas que vejo como errôneo e, no final das contas, contraproducente. Ele é mais ou menos assim:…

There is a sentiment among many self-described libertarians that I sympathize with to some degree, but ultimately view as misguided and completely unfavorable. It goes something like this: If we are to have a state, the lesser evil solution is to have only certain groups of people vote.   Net taxpayers are a popular go-to example….

Di Logan Marie Glitterbomb. Originale pubblicato il 3 giugno 2020 con il titolo Demystifying Left Minarchism. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Quando si parla di libertarismo di destra, molti che gravitano in quell’area elencano le varie fazioni del movimento libertario. Le più note, semplificando, si riducono ad anarchismo e miniarchismo. Tra gli anarchici troviamo l’anarchismo giusnaturalista…

When talking about right libertarianism, many associated with those circles are quick to point out the varying factions of the libertarian movement. The simplest and most well known division is that between the anarchists and minarchists. On the anarchist side, you have your natural rights ancaps, consequentialist ancaps, agorists, individualist anarchists, free market anarchists, geo-anarchists,…

Nick Gillespie e Katherine Mangu-Ward, redattori della rivista Reason, hanno recentemente discusso di minarchismo (governo minimo) opposto ad anarchismo di libero mercato. Comincio con Gillespie, che si mostra intollerante verso “noiose, stancanti e…

Reason magazine editors Nick Gillespie and Katherine Mangu-Ward have recently debated the question of minarchism (i.e., minimal government) vs. free-market anarchism. As an anarchist, I’m obviously on Mangu-Ward’s side of the debate. But both writers make some assumptions about strategy that I find problematic. I’ll start with Gillespie, who expresses impatience with “boring, tedious, and…

I had the pleasure of appearing before the Amherst Political Union (Amherst College) this week to discuss the election of Donald Trump as president and the future of liberty. What perhaps pleased me even more was meeting with a group of young libertarians eager to explore the nature and implications of natural-law free-market anarchism. The…

The Problem of Political Authority: An Examination of the Right to Coerce and the Duty to Obey, by Michael Huemer (Palgrave McMillan – 2012) Whether anarchy is good or not isn’t important. It’s whether it’s comparatively better than the alternatives. Or at least that’s what Michael Huemer begins arguing in chapter eight of The Problem…
