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.

We seem to be quoting Marx a lot these days 🙂
I don’t know if Groucho is the (only) source or not, but there are others. Whatever, you’re likely to enjoy this page: http://FreedomKeys.com/politicians.htm
Q. What do you call a good politician?
A. Don’t worry, nobody else knows either!
“Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho.”
Love Groucho—he should get an honorary degree in PoliSci from someplace impressive, even if it is posthumous.
That is the most succinct description of the workings of the collectivist state I’ve ever seen. Just ask the people in the streets in Venezuela.

Any state; any political system (which need not be a state).
