“But Empire building also bears the seeds of its own destruction. The closer a state comes to the ultimate goal of world domination and one-world government, the less reason is there to maintain its internal liberalism and do instead what all states are inclined to do anyway, i.e., to crack down and increase their exploitation of whatever productive people are still left. Consequently, with no additional tributaries available and domestic productivity stagnating or falling, the Empire’s internal policies of bread and circuses can no longer be maintained. Economic crisis hits, and an impending economic meltdown will stimulate decentralizing tendencies, separatist and secessionist movements, and lead to the break-up of Empire. We have seen this happen with Great Britain, and we are seeing it now, with the US and its Empire apparently on its last leg.”
Hans-Hermann Hoppe
HH Hoppe is one of the great thinkers of this generation. Like his mentor Murray Rothbard he knocks down intellectual walls. If you imagine democracy to be an advancement over monarchy read his book DEMOCRACY THE GOD THAT FAILED.
Amen, Brother!
This HHH beats the crap out of the OLD HHH (that little turd from Minnesota).
Yep.
