From Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s preface to Lew Rockwell’s magnificent new book, Against the Left: A Rothbardian Libertarianism:
“[I]n order to advance their egalitarian utopia (or rather dystopia), every human characteristic, condition and institution smacking of difference and inequality, then, has been taken under attack by the Left in due course. Down with human excellence and all ranks of human achievement, because no person is to be more excellent than any other. Down with private property as it implies the distinction between mine and thine and thus renders everyone unequal. Down with all income differences. Down with the family as citadel of inequality, with a male father and a female mother and their common, young and dependent children. Down in particular with men and especially white men as the most unequal people of all. Down with marriage because of its exclusivity, and down with heterosexuality. Down with discrimination and individual preferences of and for one person over another. Down with free association and disassociation. Down with all covenants, and down with any and all borders, fortifications or walls separating one person from another. Down with exclusive, bi- or multi-lateral private contracts. Down with employers and landlords as unequal and different from employees and renters, and down with the division of labor in general. Down with the biblical notion that man is to rule and be the master of nature and rank above all animals and plants — and always down with everyone dissenting from the egalitarian leftist creed.”
“In Against the Left, Lew Rockwell . . . presents a detailed and vivid account of [this] leftist revolt against [human] nature.”
Today’s Left seems hellbent on destroying human civilization because it is hellbent on destroying human civilization. Read the book! It’s a steal at eight bucks!
