Happy Armistice Day.
Before it was declared “Veterans Day”—and therefore lost its original pro-peace meaning—Armistice Day celebrated the end of the First World War. What a disastrous war it was. Today, James Bovard reminds us of some of the lies “that filled military cemeteries ([link removed]) .” Indeed, we’re still living with WWI’s statist legacy today. The war was, as Rothbard shows ([link removed]) , the great triumph of Progressive intellectuals.
Be sure also to check out our latest on the economic role of technological innovation ([link removed]) , and the environmentalist lies ([link removed]) surrounding artificial intelligence tech.
