For everyone on here who is completely, 100% anti-state, what is your solution to the invasion of Mexico by American prohibition with simultaneous demand for drugs?
Why aren’t there any alchohol cartels invading Arizona? Because alchohol isn’t illegal. Achohol consumption isn’t a tort, and so, is a liberty (and should not be interfered with). This would be a non-issue under just law.
I don’t take delight in the killing of police by the way OP, I’m not some dilletante Austro-Libertarian who thinks shouting about how cops are ‘pigs’ is cool.
The people who do in this thread are the perfect example of Hoppe’s criticisms of the ‘antiauthoritarian’ adolescent who thinks he is a Libertarian.
Why don’t you go back to lurking at “niggermania forums” and “chimpout” with your new fellow-racist friend Doubtus (aka “bubblelips”). Your hate is unwelcome here.
Viception: “Alcohol prohibition in the United States (1913-1933) was violent not because making, transporting, and selling alcohol was inherently dangerous, but because disputes could not be resolved in court and the police could not be relied on for protection. Government attempts to lower the alcohol supply made alcohol more expensive, an incentive for bootleggers to supply it. Black market profits were high due to limited competition. The bootleggers armed themselves and shot other bootleggers competing for profits. Gangster Al Capone became wealthy due to bootlegging. He saw alcohol legalization as a threat to his profits. Before and after alcohol prohibition, alcohol-related violence was low. The murder rate rose each year after Prohibition started until 1933. The murder rate fell for 11 years after Prohibition. Drug-related violence can largely end by legalizing illegal drugs. Drug cartels exist because of criminalization. There is no Mexican beer cartel or massive wine-related violence in France. Nicotine may be as addictive as heroin, but you do not see many people robbing stores for cigarettes because they are legal. Prohibition does not make the product vanish. Prohibition transfers the drug trade to the black market where brutality is used to defend high profits. Unlike other illegal drug producers, transporters, and sellers, I am far less violent than my competitors. Liberty includes self-ownership, the ability to make choices others may dislike. Any adult should be allowed to use any drug. Stanton Samenow, a psychologist, said, ‘Criminality does not reside in the bottle, the pill, the powder, or in any other substance. Drugs bring out and intensify only what already exists within a person; they do not transform a responsible person into a criminal.’ Drug use does not cause society’s fundamental problems. If you seek the sources of these problems, do not test people for drugs. Test people for cruelty, deception, gullibility, ignorance, stupidity, and desire for power.”
