We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Forget, forget the 5th of November Of all the memes in all the countries in all the world, Blairism is the one that is catching on as this article in the Spectator reminds us.
They are also quite right to foresee a similar prohibition in Britain should even one little poppet get his or her fingers barbecued next Guy Fawkes Night (and we know, we just know that at least one of them will)
The Safety Nazis have been crusading to ban fireworks for years and, in a country whose prime (perhaps only) preoccupation is safety, it is only a matter of time before they succeed. So, in future, we’re all going to have to spend Guy Fawkes Night gathering around the central heating and letting off some party poppers (until they ban those as well)
Pessimistic? Moi?

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
