Blagnet.netDiscussing Libertarian Philosophy |
Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.

Customers desert a chain of restaurants that banned smoking. Businessmen made a calculation, implemented a policy, offered it to their customers, and the customers chose against them. End of story. Or maybe not. But it should be. That’s kind of how protection of private property rights works in giving the people what they want at the prices they want.
