Appreciate the words. I was a young die hard libertarian in my teens and I volunteered heavily for Ron Paul right in my home state of NH. Ron and Stefan Molyneux heavily influenced my early politics/philosophy.

Hans Hermann Hoppe was a very early Ancap influence on me. He wrote a brilliant book called "Democracy: The God That Failed". He has incredible work on private property and he is VERY politically incorrect. Fun.

I didn't pull the trigger on becoming an Ancap for years until I read No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. This is the flag ship literature on pure Ancap thought, in my opinion and many others. It's an essay written by an 1800's abolitionist lawyer, Lysander Spooner, as if he's arguing a case in court. It's short, but it packs the punch of a Fat Man dropping into Nagasaki. Here's the audio version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWESql2dXoc

Ted Kaczynski went to Harvard and became a professor at Berkeley. He has an IQ of 167. You could describe him as a right-wing, primitivist Ancap. He makes a brilliant argument why it's technology that is fundamental to our enslavement and that we're looking at it all wrong. Technocracy and Transhumanism is the end game for the elite.

So the elite promoted Christianity to build up a strong, pacified, obedient, middle class with which to manifest an industrial revolution and swing us into the high tech, information age. Once you arrive here, humans have run their course, they've served their purpose. AI and Robotics have made humans obsolete. Humans are a liability now.

Depopulation has entered the chat.
