Classical Liberalism Versus Anarchocapitalism, by Jesus Huerto de Soto (Excerpted from Property, Freedom and Society: Essays In Honor of Hans-Hermann Hoppe)
….This “infantilization” of the masses is deliberately fostered by politicians and social leaders, since in this way they publicly justify their existence and guarantee their popularity, predominance, and governing capacity. Furthermore, a legion of intellectuals, professors, and social engineers join in this arrogant binge of power….
The state has become the “idol” everyone turns to and worships…statolatry represents the chief threat to religion, morality, and thus, human civilization…..statism fosters and drives irresponsibility and moral corruption, as it diverts the focus of human behavior toward a privileged pulling on the reins of political power, within a context of ineradicable ignorance that makes it impossible to know the costs of each government action.
