Hello everybody. We have a book club on Discord, where we'll be reading old and new works relevant to economics and politics, mostly from a libertarian or classical liberal point of view, although we also discuss leftist and fascist works or other classics.
The first two books we'll be reading are John Lockes Second Treatise of Government and Adam Smiths Wealth of Nations, first book. After that, we go on with Bastiat, Ricardo, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Rothbard, Eugen Richter, Sumner, Mises and Hayek. That isn't set in stone though, so feel free to propose other works.
No one has to read a particular work or participate in discussion, but we got a few members already, some new ones and some fairly experienced, so we can get discussions started.
Here's the link to discord: https://discord.gg/4MP7WA
If it expires, just let me know, I'll post another one then.

Lolbergturdians invented Trash Man, so we'll put whatever we damn well please into the trash. Including your personal flavor of ochlocratic pseudo-traditionalism.

whatever.
but i'd like to point out that the so called free circulation of people and goods is without a doubt hurting me.
not to mention that every form of globalism whether it's communism or turboliberism alwaye means flattening to the lowest common denominator. it doesn't matter if it's the government who decided so in its quinquennial plan or because in some third world shithole they do stuff for cheaper.

Unfortunately the New Age libertarians and liberals put a lot of exceptions for their beloved word "freedom"; the hive-mind and mod-faggotery is off the charts on Discord-servers. Discord-severs are basically totalitarian micro-states run by communism.

New discord link.
Also why don't you make it easier yourself and everyone else by making the invite permanent or at-least making it have a 30 day expiry or something.

That we're not fools about econometrics, experimentation and supposed historical laws does not mean we disregard empirical evidence. Of course empirical evidence is necessary when analyzing, it's just not where you get the means of your analysis from.

Not sure why people constantly act like she's the lowest of the low. I'm not a fan of her, especially not of her person (she was a massive sperg), but Jesus Christ, if you think she's the worst, you know nothing. Compare her to Marx, Trotsky, Mussolini (or rather his ghostwriter) or any of the postmodern philosophers.

If you think Rand is anywhere near Marx's level then you couldn't have read either.

In fact, I've read both. I find Marx to be just as vicious as Rand but more obtuse. Unlike Rand, he is extremely pedantic, whereas Rand has more of a tendency not to care all that much what her opponents are specifically saying. Both aren't that great as philosophers, but Rand is still far better than Marx. At least she stressed the importance of liberty, capitalism, and ethical and epistemic absolutism.
