– Turkish prime minster Erdoğan
The C4SS statement of solidarity with the Turkish protestors has been posted.
I wrote most of it (as is only appropriate, since I caused the revolt), though borrowing some language from our earlier letter on Egypt (which was mainly Brad Spangler’s work), a phrase from Gary Chartier, and a suggestion from Kevin Carson.
The hyperlinks were all supplied by James Tuttle.
I would also like to thank prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, without whom this statement would not have been possible.
The Center for a Stateless Society Cannot Hold; Mere Anarchy Is Loosed Upon Auburn
My C4SS piece on 19th-century laissez-faire was printed as an op-ed in the Opelika-Auburn News today (in the print edition, not so far the online edition).
This wasn’t a pickup from the C4SS feed or submission list; I was going to write a letter to the editor, but I asked if they’d be willing to take the op-ed instead, and they said yes.
