t is high time, and past due, that someone blew the whistle on “Women’s Liberation.” Like The Environment, Women’s Lib is suddenly and raucously everywhere in the last few months. It has become impossible to avoid being assaulted, day in and day out, by the noisy blather of the Women’s Movement. Special issues of magazines, [...]

We have to face it; we must face it: The New Left is dead. Dead as a doornail. Kaput. For those of us who hailed the New Left when it appeared, and urged libertarians to ally with it, this is a painful realization. But reality must be faced. That glorious, heady, revolutionary period of the life [...]

We have been hearing from several subscribers that they have not received some issues of the Forum, or that an issue has been severely delayed. The fault, dear reader, lies not in us but in our beloved Post Service. So if any of you should fail to get any issue, let us know, and we [...]

After more than two years of heroic struggle against overwhelming odds, little Biafra lies murdered–murdered by the centralizing State forces of Nigeria, forces that were backed, of course, by those two great centralizing powers of our time, the United States and the Soviet Union. Over two million Ibo tribesmen–the bulk of the citizens of Biafra–lie [...]

One of the most repellent aspects of statism is that we the taxpayers are forced to pay for our own brainwashing– for the propaganda which the government beams in our direction. One of our ministries of propaganda, the United States Information Agency, is beamed at hapless people overseas. It was to be expected that when [...]

One of the most hopeful recent developments has been the rise of opposition to taxation. Taxation is the vital fuel on which the State runs and has its being. Cut off its funds, its supply, and the State Leviathan will wither and die. Furthermore, a movement in opposition to taxation is bound to strike a [...]

Last spring, the big revolutionary event in America was the Columbia Revolution. Most ‘libertarians” condemned this particularly successful New Left venture on the grounds of injury to “private property rights”, putting forth the quaint theory that Columbia University is private property.
