RE: The Alfie Evans Story Gets Even More Tragic
I hope you feel the same way when you're my age! Read Machiavelli, he had an incredible understanding of human nature!

I've heard a lot about him through the podcasters I listen too but have not looked into him deeply. What book would you suggest? And I have a feeling I will almost definitely feel the same way. I wrote an article on Sanger and planned parenthood and so on which I see you are privy too. Thought I'd mention that, but oh yea I'll feel the same way just more reinforced wth more knowledge gained through the years. I have made my journey over the last ten years from an anarcho communist (though I now know those two words are antonyms) to an anarcho capitalist. Funny the ideas you can have when you're ignorant to life versus what you have when you start finding truth
The Prince is his best work. Sanger and her ilk were eugenicists- which is still going strong with PP as well as transhumanism. Anarcho communism is anarcho syndicalism the anarchism of Emma Goldman et.al. If you want to expand your base of knowledge on economics read F.A. Hayek... the Road to Serfdom, or, the Fatal Conceit.
This new anarcho-capitalism, as well intentioned as it is, is just more pie in the skt utopianism... it just doesn't work, the world has become too complex for simplistic solutions. I'm 72 and have been studying humanity for a very long time. This is one element of my observations
