This is a great episode, and my first introduction to this article from Moldbug.

I appreciate the respect Yarvin gives Mises and Rothbard, but I think he misinterprets Mises as a libertarian.

Mises was a man of the right. https://twitter.com/realKingpilled/status/1385057923777269766">https://twitter.com/realKingp...
For example, Yarvin critiques the idea of politics as "tyranny v freedom" and I think he raises valid points. But to Mises, freedom wasn& #39;t some abstract concept of "liberty", it was the preservation of social order under a system of property rights.
This is why Mises was a strong opponent of anarchism, he understood that government was an iron fist - but he also believed that such an iron fist was necessary to justly maintain property rights.
I do appreciate that Yarvin& #39;s criticism of Lew Rockwell is that he was too tolerant of the left in 2010.

I wonder how much of the RRR paleo content he& #39;s ever read?
Also, this misunderstanding that naturally arises from ancaps enthusiasm for the "anarchy" word.

Rothbardian anarchy is order, free of state privilege. There& #39;s not a utopian ideal of perfecting man, it& #39;s Take Back the Streets, Unleash the (Private) Police against bad actors.
