The reasoning for both remains simple psychology, as a first level hierarchical need for safety and security (basic needs) outmaneuvers the need for hard truth. As Murray Rothbard discloses in his 1973 book, For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, “the State provides a legal, orderly, systematic channel for predation on the property of the producers; it…
