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.

The reason the Republican Party is dying, is that they have come to believe that their task is to run the Socialist State more efficiently than the Democrats.
It works on this side of the pond, too. At least until the great disrupter came down the escalator.
We can make fun of the triangulation methods of the parties, but doesn’t this really come down to the voters? What good would hard-right candidates do in constituencies that really want free stuff?
The answer is, hard-right candidates cede the district to the hard-lefties. At least a centrist wimp keeps things closer to center than the lefties would.
It’s not the parties or the candidates. It’s the voters. They – we – are too far removed from personal knowledge of what communism really does.
