Invictus Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 http://bureaucrash.com/modules/news/ One of the few pro-capitalist activist sites on the web. At first glance it looks interesting. Examples of material they have up for download: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_learning Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I have run into this site before. I actually posted one of their posters that you can print off in my schools art department. The poster compared “ad busters” to Nazis, (a lot of people in that department support “ad busters” as one can imagine). It was torn down in a day. I got quite a laugh out of it.

Invictus Posted March 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 It was torn down in a day. I got quite a laugh out of it. This is very much in line with the authoritarian mindset of the left. I once put up a pro-war poster next to an anti-war one at my school. It lasted about thirty minutes.

DavidV Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Bureaucrash is a typical libertarian site. Notice that you don’t see any mention of individual rights or intellectual activism – just a campaign to “crash” government. There is no positive goal here – just a campaign for the destruction of government. It’s typical of libertarians who mirror leftist strategies.

Invictus Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 At the very least they are, to quote everyone's favourite revolutionary, "useful idiots". They distribute a lot of anti-communist and pro-capitalist propaganda that help erode many of the misconceptions about capitalism held by the youth of today.

DavidV Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 It also gives the impression that proponents of "capitalism" are hippie anarchist types who want to legalize drugs -- while doing nothing to change the intellectual climate responsible for the socialist brainwashing students receive in the academia.

Invictus Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Most proponents of capitalism do seek the legalisation of currently prohibited drugs. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?id=3435 http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?id=219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Sure, so do I -- but only because prohibition infringes on individual rights – not as a primary issue. To paraphrase some long-forgotten article, “one cannot defend reason by sanctioning irrationality.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_learning Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I just like their posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amplify the things they do right, assist them when they do something valuable, and be there to pick up the ball when they drop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
