I've been looking for this for a long time, happened to be yesterdays daily article The Six Stages of the Creation of the State The Six Stages of the Creation of the State - Franz Oppenheimer - Mises Daily Much to long to copy/paste. Amazing read, though.
hahaha ive had that article in my bookmark for two days now. ill read it before tonight. gotta love mises institute.
Finally got some time to read it, it's definitely one of the better Mises Institute articles I've read all year.
cliff notes: A state destroys society by allowing a group of individuals ( the government) who has the legal and monopolistic right to initiate force upon the citizens. Simply put, the state initiates violence to "protect" their citizens against violence.
Just read the first link and it motivated me to buy the state, definitely important but just as fascinating too. Good shit Mirvs gonna read your second link next
what are your reasons to be motivated in the state? I don't really want to read the huge article without getting high....
