Zang. This is what kicked off the whole free-d market thingy. (Thanks, Nick Ford! Thanks, Stephanie Murphy!)

has been folding & stapling chapbooks all weekend. (Next up: Economics of Anarchy.) Distros are fun. The latest Market Anarchy and Anarchist Classics went into the mail yesterday, so Anarchy is already on its way to Las Vegas, San Francisco, Asheville, Chicago, Indianapolis, Honolulu, Tulsa, etc. etc. This month: Kevin Carson on post-scarcity market anarchy; and Lysander Spooner’s Plan for the Abolition of Slavery (“We specially advise the flogging of individual Slaveholders. . . .”) http://distro.libertarianleft.org/for/anarchist-classics-series/lysander-spooner-plan-abolition-slavery/ http://distro.libertarianleft.org/for/market-anarchy-zine-series/kevin-carson-full-communism-post-scarcity/

I am going to be speaking, thrice, at the upcoming Libertopia Conference in San Diego (Oct 11-14, 2012). We’re also hoping to do a lot of tabling for ALL Distro, Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS), and Markets Not Capitalism.

Ed Novak, Spokesman For The Pennsylvania Department Of Banking, on why he intends to find a way to shut down a small ice-cream parlor’s no-fee community banking alternative, by hook or by crook: “But we are going to do something. You can’t mess with people’s money. … If the ice-cream store goes under, who knows what happens?” Well then I suppose the depositors will lose their waffle cones as well as their principal. But really, much as I understand that the purpose of Departments Of Banking is to insulate entrenched capitalists from market competition, by any means necessary, still, I do have to wonder how you ever get to a point in your life where you can actually say stuff like this in public without just falling over laughing at yourself. http://radgeek.com/gt/2012/09/19/waffle-cones-community-banking/
