People think we live in a capitalist society and that capitalism has gone wrong. We don’t live in a capitalist society, we live in a crony capitalist society, in which people get on by milking the system, by the special relationships they enjoy with those in power, by the laws, the licences, the regulations and the subsidies granted in their favour.

Libertarians preach tolerance. We tolerate others’ views, we tolerate their speech we tolerate their behaviour as long as does not impinge on the life and liberty of others. However, there is one thing we do not tolerate. And that is crony capitalism.

And come the revolution crony capitalism in all its forms will be thrown into the dustbin of oblivion.
