A blog for people with a critically rational individualist perspective. We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR

This Week's Practical Exercise in Democracy? Invading Luxembourg
Guest Writer (Terra, Sol) European Union • Humour
Imagine the European People's Democratic Front.
Imagine their first press release... We, the people of Europe, hold the following truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Unfortunately, we don't consent to a junket-ocracy, which is what the proposed EU will be.
As such, we undertake to occupy and subvert any referendum in Luxembourg, a country with a conveniently tiny voting population of less than 350,000. One residential mailing address (with 50,000 registered residents) later, and the constitution will be consigned, where it belongs, to the dustbin of history.
Naw, it could never happen...

 Off topic, but has something happend to the Samizdata templates?
All the posts are line-wrapping in a non-reasonable manner, making the posts too wide to read sensibly (1280x1024, IE6, XP Pro).
This used to not be the case...

Maybe so, but lets face it. The real power is in the People's Democratic Front of Europe. The European People's Democratic Front are just splinters.
Naw, the People's Democratic Front will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
I'll see your Life of Brian, and raise you one Hitchhikers Guide.

The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, libertarians, extropians, futurists, 'Porcupines', Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
The Samizdatistas are:
