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]

If I ruled the world How many people have indulged in that fantasy at some point in their lives? I know I have. Of course, the fantasy has been no more than a fleeting moment, usually upon hearing of the latest piece of idiotarian nonsense being peddled as fact on the BBC or passed into law by HM Government. Yes, those are the moments when I wish that I simply had the power to slap it down with a stroke of my pen or a contemptuous pronouncement.
I do not believe I am alone. After all, isn’t the phenomenon of blogging the very manifestation of that itch; the compounded fury at all that’s wrong with the world and the irresistable urge to put it right. But what if you really had the power to put it right not merely complain about it.
So let’s play a game. I am the genie released from the bottle and my first act is to make you Ruler of the World. You now have three wishes. What would they be?

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.
