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 [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Welcome to the future, please stand still so your personal barcode can be scanned The European Union continues its march into self parody with the planned introduction of a giant barcode as the new flag of the would-be superstate.
Suddenly one of my favourite shows of the moment, Dark Angel, starts to take on a whole new symbolic meaning… for those of you who do not watch this excellent series, the heroine named Max (played by the lithe Jessica Alba) is a transgenic transhuman on the run from a clandestine US government genetic engineering operation called Project Manticore. Max is assisted by a streaming video samizdata called ‘Eyes Only’. Significantly, all the escaped transgenics like Max have an identifying barcode tattooed on the backs of their necks.
Are the grey suited faceless ones in Brussels sending us all a message?

Who Are We? 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, classical liberals, whigs, 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.
