Hans-Herman Hoppe in the Morning

Andy Duncan, posting at Samizdata, has finished reading Hoppe’s Democracy: The God That Failed and has provided us with a review. His opening remarks.

"I used to be a singer in a rock and roll band.

Well, okay, maybe not, but I was a lead guitarist in a punk rock band. I even had my Fender copy tuned so I could play the major rock chords with a single sliding finger, just like those anarcho-punk legends, Crass.

If only our band had possessed some luck, a good manager, a driving licence between us, some money, a van, and a small pet monkey named Brian, we might have made it big. Especially if the lead guitarist had actually possessed any talent.

But, alas, this punk dream faded, as it did for a million others, and my brush with anarchy submerged itself for another twenty years. However, much to my surprise it resurfaced again last year, a little rusty but largely unscathed, when it experienced a depth charge blast from Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s mental mind bomb, Democracy: The God That Failed."

I like a good “mental mind bomb.” Get a cup of coffee for this one, it’s a longer post.

  1. I think he reviewed “The Myth of National Defense” this time, rather than “Democacy...”.
