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]

Don’t talk to us about them Rand Simberg made a cute observation about this war taking on Pythonesque dimensions which I find highly apposite in view of what the war has done to Libertarians.
Prior to 9/11 we were united in grim struggle against the predations of our respective governments and the ‘liberal/left’. Since 9/11 we have cleaved in two; now we are Anti-war Libertarians and the Warblogger Libertarians. The former find themselves lining up with Noam Chomsky and the latter have locked step with Christopher Hitchens. We fire pixelated Katushya rockets at each other over the Green Line of cyberspace
Of course they are now the Judean Peoples Front and we are the Peoples Front of Judea. Or is it the other way around? In any event they are the Splittists!!

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.
