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]

The truth about the Bad Dude Former lefty Brian Linse has more or less succumbed to Stockholm syndrome and we will soon be asking him to become a regular contributor to Samizdata.
It was tough but although he is still in a state of denial, the process is irreversible and we will have him signing his soul away signed up to ‘The Cause’ very soon indeed.
Mark my words, he will not be able to resist the forces drawing him back to salvation in London for long. We all know that latent libertarians like him never have an easy time coming out of the closet. Still, it was touching to see him actually eat the autographed picture of Barbara Streisand he used to carry around in his wallet.
You don’t believe me? Well I lured him into taking the Ethical Philosopher Selector test and this was his top 5 results (I was peeking and he didn’t cheat):
1. Rand (100%)
2. Sartre (98%)
3. Stoics (90%)
4. Kant (88%)
5. Nietzsche (79%)
That’s right… our former pet pinko aced RAND! We may have created a monster!

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.
