Realpolitik in an Unreal World
Written by SurrealPolitiks
One may or may not be shocked to learn that I still have friends who call themselves anarchists. Not of the Molotov cocktail variety, but rather of the Murray Rothbard sort.

New Hampshire, wherein I presently reside, is home to a political migration movement known as the Free State Project.
