21) Why we couldn't abolish slavery then and can't abolish government now

LewRockwell.Com

by Robert Higgs

"Strange to say, however, the same ideas once trotted out to justify

opposition to the abolition of slavery are now routinely trotted out

to justify opposition to the abolition of government (as we know it).

Libertarian anarchists bold enough to have publicly advanced their

proposal for abolishing the state will have encountered many, if not

all, of the arguments used for centuries to prop up

slavery." (08/20/09)
