It is a noninflationary, stable currency that makes it difficult for the government to control monetary policy, which by extension encourages peace. The greatest advantage of fiat money is that it easily enables war financing. A gold-backed currency means that the amount of money in an economy is limited by the national supply of gold. This is good because it creates stable banking systems that must always redeem their customers for the capital they put in the bank, so that in times of economic crisis everyone doesn't lose their savings.

That's pretty neat and all, but Paul Krugman said fiat is good, and he has a Nobel prize so

Obviously a loose connection and probably a coincidence, but hey man, you never know...

I like conspiracy theories too. It's very interesting. One of my favorite YouTube channels is All Time Conspiracies. Some of the videos they post are pretty interesting

Given what we know of the assassins, it's likely it was at least a small part in the deaths of both of them, but in all likelihood not nearly a large enough influence to connect the two.

But, seriously, when they find out more about Oswald and about how he hated the gold standard, look at who predicted that.

RRRG did.

That's who.

Do note that when it's late at night and I say "Seriously" it's probably sarcastic.

The forums are actually pretty cool, I've never even looked twice at them before.

Yeah, but at the same time there's just no reasoning with Hollywood.

Well.....in all fairness. If the Government were to shut down for one Fay in the society we have. That is probably what would happen.

The scenario they did is probably what would happen. Notice it was not Anarchy but instead the shut down of all 911 systems and a government promotion of crime.

So all in all it was a government promotion campaign to lower crime rates by allowing it on one day legally.

1700s British Poltiics were fun

Whigs v. Tories

Break-off group of Whigs joins Tories when the Whigs become to Establishmentarian

These Whigs break from Tories and form the Patriot Party

The Whigs become less Establishmentarian and the Patriot Party breaks up....

It's a pretty riveting subject.

Early France is also exciting politically.

Makes you wonder who the good guys were.....

The French liberals were usually more radical, and thus closer to modern libertarians.

Bastiat and Torqueville come to mind.

I love the French Revolution.

In fact, I put a Torqueville quote in the WFE of IS.

They could not teach us enough French Revolution (Révolution française). It being in France, you got to see a cultural aspect as well. It was delightful. Robespierre is one of the most despicable figures in French history. Almost as bad as Louis.

I am going to establish an Ayn Rand version of the Cult of Reason.

Libertas!

No wonder they are atheists.

I myself liked the Girondists...They were revolutionaries who didn't support the Montagnards Revolutionary policies.

However over time the Girondists became the more Napoleonic group and the Montagnards ended up going against them in a debate of War and Anti-War

I think that Robespierre was a revolutionary thinker prior to power, but he turned on his principles and became the monster he fought. His past did not make up for his actions.

He got drunk off power.

I have a hard time seeing a communist revolution doing any better. Commies, D-Bate Meh!

According to them they cover

Communism

Socialism

Progressivism

Anarco-Leftists and Libertarian Leftists.

THEYRE FREAKING COMMUNISTS

They address each other as "Comrade". We cover libertarians, conservatives, liberals, and a variety of others. We're still a libertarian region.

Yes but they don't register as Communists they register as a Big tent region for lefties

I'm not interested in killing that habit. This region has and always will, actively stand against the force of communism.

I'm not insulting your region. I'm sorry to see you take offence at that, I'm just making a statement that the way you go about things goes against what I would call libertarianism, but not being a libertarian myself I'm not saying I have qualms with it.

Again, I'm not being disrespectful. Maybe it's coming across that way, because one of the previous nations I was using had it's region desecrated by these people in the name of anti-communism, but to be honest I'm not bothered. I was just interested in knowing how they call themselves libertarian.

It seems instead of explaining it they're just being hostile.

Aren't CFN and Libertatem just the beast of friends?

If you carried yourself like you proclaim our intentions, we would be open to chatting, we've tolerated TTA for this long. But when you come in here and insult, despite your defenses, you can't expect a hero's welcome.

I ain't criticizin or nuttin, but the Coalition Of Independent Nations looks like a dual-shrine to Hallo and Anhka. Their music choices and their book choices. And hating on disabled people.

But I didn't insult intentionally. I simply stated that it didn't look very libertarian. Did that hit a nerve?

I didn't expect a hero's welcome, I expected an answer/correction to my statement.

This region was not originally "Libertarian," in the modern sense. If you want a purely Libertarian region, there is Laissez Faireholm next door, and Capitalist Paradise if you just want economic policy.

This region is home to a lot of Objectivists, who have different ethics than Libertarians, particularly concerning war. Consequentialist Neo-Libertarians are welcome too, as well as Neo-Conservatives.

Some of my theories and thoughts are a little extreme and against this region's traditional values.

Also the Centrist is here as well....so they accept all types of people here but they fight totalitarian regimes (Which they have no business with.)

That being said, we do have a number of ancaps and deontological libertarians in this region, most notably our president. I don't understand how AnCaps tie in the raiding aspect with their philosophy, but ditto.
