This is how you end forever wars. You fight one big war against communism, and then we have peace forever.

And the evidence supporting that is...

How many bullet points do you need me to list? The data is all publicly accessible.

But first notice that this is the eternal struggle of capitalism. I can't convince anyone to invest in my project until after it succeeds. No one wants to buy Bitcoin until after it's worth $1 million. And then they're mad that I have more than them. What we need is a historical precedent for why capitalism works and why it's the most moral system, so that society follows the rules automatically.

Think of the monkey ladder experiment. Anyone in the future who suggests some guy has too much money immediately gets dogpiled before the revolution gets out of hand, because the collective subconscious will instinctively remember "communism bad."

If we're serious about laissez-faire being implemented in the real world then we need to claim and hold territory. Regimes that ban Bitcoin for civilian use are violating the NAP in a way that necessitates physical intervention. Politicians should be as afraid of taxing Bitcoin as they are of drawing a picture of Muhammed.

This is no ordinary war. The Landlord's Liberation Army is baiting the communists into initiating a revolution at their weakest possible starting point. This is the free market bringing the state to heel. This is the invisible hand taking up the invisible gun. This is the recommencement of 1776, the Great Disunity, a Blitzkrieg through the financial system to counter the Long March through the universities, the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy, and the Day of the Rake.

My evidence is that Pluto has completed its revolution and escaped Saturn's bondage to deliver the vengeance of Uranus.

Kinsella's my favorite and I don't think I've read that.

People don't share this idea because the idea of enforcing it makes them uncomfortable.

They'll be comfortable if we wear uniforms and sing happy songs.

Ha! that would be the day. Crazy how Muhammed is untouchable but Jesus gets mocked constantly in the western world.
