To the Ramparts!

The Mises Institute has posted several old issues of the Rampart Journal of Individualist Thought, a libertarian quarterly of the 1960s that was edited by Robert Lefevre. I read the full run of the publication back in college (thank you, Labadie Collection), and while the articles' quality varied widely, the best ones were excellent. And all of them have historical value.

Smug paleolibertarian/cosmotarian conflict joke here.

Happy International Day of Slayer!

Individualists everywhere will rejoice at my individualistic choice to put that information in a reply to this topic.

Slayer sucks.

[Dear zoltan]

Shut the fuck up and go listen to Coldplay, douchebag.

At the risk of making a relevant comment, this is pretty cool. I’m halfway through “Radicals for Capitalism” right now, and so I’m curious about all these old journals. I hadn’t realized the von Mises Institute posted this, as well as others like Left and Right. Looking forward to a new Kindle that lets you read PDFs natively.

Coldplay sucks too. Slayer is like the Coldplay of shitty death metal. So like, multiple layers of death metal.

[zoltan]

I meant multiple layers of shittiness. But I guess that’s interchangeable.

[zoltan]

And I have to agree with Marc. The piece on Edward Bellamy is fascinating. I don’t think I’ll ever recite the (what I already thought was ridiculous) Pledge of Allegiance.

Man I’m fascianted as hell by old radical groups

I’d love to see “Survivalist” magazine get an online reprint

apparently Kerry Wendell Thornley was writing for it

[Jesse Walker]

IIRC, Thornley wrote at least one piece for the Rampart Journal, though I don’t think it’s in any of the issues posted here.

That article is so nice!.
Individualists everywhere will rejoice at my individualistic choice to put that information in a reply to this topic. That phenomena is a natural thing cause we all know that life is changing right?. But aside from that breaking report did you know that the American auto industry is in dire straits, and there is an initiative for automakers to make vehicles with better mileage. Part of the quest for better mileage is new auto policies, and the bar is set at an industry average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016. It is expected to drive up prices, and therefore the size of personal loans for new cars. The average car gets 25 mpg. The average is computed by taking cars and also trucks into account, and this raises the bar to 39 mpg for a car and 30 mpg for a truck, which means we all will need bigger installment loans in the quest for better mileage.
