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]

New Year’s greetings from Samizdata Another year starts… and we shall be there to blog the bits we find interesting (once we get over the effects of tonight)…
Some more strange outfits were observed…
Our lawyer demonstrated he was as quick with a six-gun as he was with a legal writ…
Adriana selects the Target For Tonight…
Quick! Pour it now or we’re going to miss Big Ben chiming!
Wassail! Happy New Year…
…from all at Samizdata HQ Champaign for our real friends, real pain for our sham friends. Good health to those who love liberty.

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.

And the babe selects Dom Perignon! I guess business is pretty damn good in Samizdata HQ!
A libertarian blog, eh? Viva Bookchin!
I prefer to describe myself as a social individualist or classical liberal lest I be mistaken for the Rothbardian flavour of libertarian. Bookchin, eh? For my views on ‘libertarian’ socialism see here…
So Perry – is the beard coming back this year? Sort of an “AntiTrotsky” look.
Sorry, that was a joke! Neither sort of libertarian is really my cup of tea. Nice looking blog though.
Happy New Year All.
Where can I get one of those T shirts with the evil-eyed cat on then?
Robert… the shirt comes from here.
Happy New Year!
A very cool t-shirt indeed.
BTW, who is who in that picture? (I only recognize Perry, Adriana and Brian).
Happy New Year, Perry. Looks like you all had a great evening. Excellent chamagne selection!
Here’s hoping that the cause of liberty gets a few doses of good fortune this year. We can all hope, anyway.
Happy New Year, folks!
And may the only sane ur-libertarian blog on the Internet have continued success and prosperity.
Okay, one small quibble: why does Adriana always look sensational, and the rest of you look like grubby escapees from some Bloomsbury playreading society?
Kim, if you want to know I am the Sean Connery of the group, or so my wife tells me.
(okay, try not to laugh)
Thanks, Perry.
One on order.
I like the picture of the attractive young carer with her group of elderly clients at the bottom.
