Abolition and Libertarian Principles

Dec 28, 2024 | mises.org | Wanjiru Njoya

In “Abolition: An Acid Test,” Murray Rothbard criticized libertarians who defended slavery as part of their defense of property rights. Those libertarians had argued that slaves were classified as property and, therefore, abolishing slavery would be tantamount to expropriation of the slaveowners’ property. This was indeed one of the arguments put forward by slaveowners who claimed compensation from the British government when the British Empire abolished slavery.

One of the most common justifications for increasing state police and military power is that it guarantees the security of citizens.

Dred Scott, Politics, and the "Living" Constitution

Dec 14, 2024 | mises.org | Wanjiru Njoya

In a 2022 article titled “Will the U.S. Supreme Court ever get around to overruling the shame of Dred Scott?” the surprising proposition is advanced that the1857 Dred Scott case is “still precedent” in the United States, and that “racist lawyers and racist judges can (blatantly or discreetly) rely on it in their arguments and rulings.” Like President Biden’s , we are asked to believe that the injustices of past centuries are still in operation and new laws are needed to eradicate them.
Critical Race Theory and Racial Polylogism

Many people are familiar with the divisive concepts of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
