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]

Yes Alice? Something happened The blogosphere has been pulsating with comment and counter-comment about the dramatic events in Iraq over the weekend. My favourite comment of all on these events comes from Alice Bachini, who yesterday evening put up this posting, which I reproduce in its entirety, on her blog:
I’ve been away …
… and unable to get to any media for the past 24+ hours. Did something happen?
Said her first commenter, of just two so far (but she likes friendly comments so do go over there and add a friendly comment) said:
Alice. We love you.
Indeed.

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.
