The following document is an overview of various resources which deontological anarcho-capitalists with a culturally conservative and economically Austrian bent can use to further their arguments. Need help arguing on philosophy against utilitarians, moral subjectivists, about animal rights, or simply in defense of self ownership? Check out our section below! Having trouble explaining to a statist that anarchy would not only work but be superior, or that anarchism is propertarian, or against democracy? We’ve got you covered. We have resources on various different social policy debates, from defending gun rights to attacking mask mandates. Our largest section is our economics section; where you can find resources on the business cycle, all of its examples, the minimum wage, the monopoly myth, socialism, Keynesianism, and pretty much anything you might need to defend Austrian economics and laissez-faire capitalism. We’re not joking; we cover pretty much anything you can think of in economics. We even have a small and humble culture section at the bottom for those interested in defending traditional values. Finally, check out our reading list at the bottom for additional information!
If you want more information on economics, culture, or social policy, this document provides just a basic overview with some useful resources. However, check out these two much larger fact sheets filled to the brim with extremely useful stats (credit to AmirBaky):
Libertarian Fact Sheet: Libertarian Fact Sheet (VIEW FOR TONS OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON THE ENVIRONMENT, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, PRIVATIZATION, ECONOMICS, GUN CONTROL, DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, IMMIGRATION, THE DEATH PENALTY, AND COVID-19)
Secure Copy of LFS in case above gets nuked: Copy of Libertarian Fact Sheet
Right Wing Fact Sheet: Right Wing fact sheet (VIEW FOR CERTAIN ABORTION VIEWPOINTS, CULTURE, OR AMERICAN STATS)
Secure Copy of RWFS in case above gets nuked: Copy of Right Wing fact sheet
Do note that there are things on here not covered by either fact sheet. These areas primarily relate to anarchism, political theory, and philosophy, but also include specific monopolization, some economic empirical evidence, and a bit of stuff on culture and social policy. The Right-Wing fact sheet contains useful cultural information which may not be present on either the Libertarian Fact Sheet and this doc, and please use the Libertarian Fact Sheet for tons of extra statistics regarding the superiority of free markets and libertarian social policy. Please utilize all three resources to the best of your ability!
This is a work in progress. Please feel free to email me at @lm93tah@gmail.com if you find a solid resource which could be added.
UPDATE 6/30: This resource database is going to start to transition onto the libertarian fact sheet. This will be an ongoing process
UPDATE 7/6: This resource database is now only being added to sporadically. For updated data and arguments, I’d primarily visit the Libertarian Fact Sheet. The Right-Wing Fact Sheet and Fact Sheet Copies are also being sporadically updated now, if at all. However, you can still come here for material on anarchism, vaccines, culture, economic theory, and monopolies, as well as a few other things.

https://econclips.com/climate-change-from-the-economic-point-of-view/
essentially climate change isn't very dangerous, and every part of it can be overcome with technology
American economist Robert P. Murphy points out3 that the climate change impact calculated by using IPCC models is not as terrible as the picture painted in the media or even in summaries of the very same models. For example, according to the IPCC report, despite climate change in fifty years after 2000 the total number and percentage of malnourished children in developing countries will fall by 9.4 million. According to WHO, by 2030 the health effects of diseases are expected to decrease by 30% as compared to 2004. Even if some of the worst IPCC scenarios will come true, within a century from now our descendants will be ‘only’ 8.5 times richer than us as compared to 9.5 times if no harmful climate change would occur.4 Our children will still be healthier than us, and the technological development along with the accumulation of wealth will make it easier for them to cope with climate change.
According to Murphy’s calculations, in the IPCC’s worst-case scenario5 of temperature increasing by 2.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 the expected cost in terms of impact on GDP (and that includes health effects and mortality rate) would reach at most 2.5%. At the same time, according to the IPCC report, the cost of programs that aim at limiting temperature increase due to greenhouse gas emissions up to 2 degrees Celsius during this period is about 3.4% of GDP.
In short, this means that if politicians would choose not to act at all, allowing temperature to rise by 2.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, the cost would be smaller (equal to at most 2.5% of GDP) than the cost of programs aiming at limiting temperature increase to 2 degrees alone (equal to at least 3.4% of GDP).
The perspective up to the year 2100 is similar: In the IPCC’s worst-case scenario a rise in temperature by 4.9 degrees Celsius causes damage of around 4.6% of GDP. Meanwhile, the cost of restricting emissions is about 4.8% of GDP in 2100.

Debunking Utilitarianism
Xx: Utilitarianism presupposes ownership over your emotions, as for your utility to be positive you must rightfully possess (own) your emotions. Owning your emotions should naturally imply self-ownership, which would take precedence over utilitarianism.
Utilitarianism relies on the assumption that all pleasure is good. Given this, anyone feeling any amount of pleasure is viewed as inherently good. However, emotions are what represent pleasure and for one to consider pleasure to be good they must assert that it is rightful for the person to feel said pleasure, meaning you must assert that one owns their body as that is the only way they can possibly own their emotions. Thus utilitarianism presupposes self ownership and thus falls apart.
If we do not presuppose self ownership we run into the issue of you making the illogical jump that one feeling their own pleasure is good, as they do not rightfully own said pleasure and thus we cannot assign an ought to it, necessary to proceed with the utilitarian framework.

Proofs
-----Debunking Determinism-----
(P1) If determinism is true, then it is possible for there to be a perfect predictor which calculates, using the deterministic laws of physics, the future with perfect accuracy.
(P2) But, if perfect predictors possible, it’s also possible for there to be another perfect predictor which predicts what the first perfect predictor predicts, and to act in a way so as to ensure that its prediction does not come true.
(P3) If there is a predictor which ensures that the perfect predictor’s prediction does not come true, then perfect predictors are not possible.
(SC1) So, perfect predictors are impossible. [From P2 and P3]
(C) Thus, determinism is false. [From P1 and SC1]
Note: Predictors cannot predict themselves leads to some issues with this
inference.devices.7.bib.included.dvi (nasa.gov)
No extension of quantum theory can have improved predictive power
-----Proving Moral Truths-----
P1) A moral truth is an objective statement about morality and only morality (in the metaphysical sense).
P2) Moral truths do not exist.
P3) P2 is a statement about morality in purely the metaphysical sense, which is true if we grant subjective or nonexistent morality.
C) P2 does not exist according to P2.
——-The Truth Proof——-
```
Proving that there is truth by contradiction.
P1. Assume that there is no truth
P2. if P1 then it is true that there is no truth
C. therefore there is truth```
-----Disproving Materialism-----
P1) if materialism is true or psychicalism is true, then everything in the universe would be purely physical or material
P2) P1 can be restated as “there is nothing which is nonmaterial/nonphysical.”
P3) An objective fact purely about the nonphysical/nonmaterial would itself be nonphysical/nonmaterial.
P4) P2 is an objective fact purely about the nonmaterial/nonphysical.
P5) P2 is nonmaterial and nonphysical.
P6) P2 doesn’t exist according to P2.
C) ergo materialism is false — QED.
Materialism alone cannot explain the riddle of consciousness
Is Scientific Materialism "Almost Certainly False"? - Scientific American Blog Network
-----Proof of Self-Ownership/Life Right-----
Assertion: Man is a living being with a right to support his own life. (I.e. The Right to Life.)
Life is a process of self-sustaining and self-generated action.
If an organism fails to engage in the action specified then it dies.
Man may engage in a process of self-sustaining and self generated action.
Therefore Man is/may be a living organism.
A right is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action.
Morality is a code of values to guide man’s choices and actions.
A value is that which one acts to gain and/or keep.
A principle is a fundamental, primary, or general truth, on which other truths depend.
Life requires self-sustaining and self generated action to be kept.
Therefore life is a value.
A dead or nonliving organism is incapable of action.
Therefore a dead or nonliving organism is incapable of keeping values.
Therefore a dead or nonliving organism is incapable of being moral or immoral.
In order for a Man to live he must engage in self-sustaining and self-generated action.
In acting to keep the value of his own life, Man chooses to keep the ability to value.
This act is a moral principle.
Man is free to chose whether or not to act upon this moral principle.
Therefore Man has a Right to Life.
Elaboration Dialogue ---------------->
So morality is a code of values, the validity of said code is up for debate and scrutiny but for any values to be held, one must of course be alive.
This of course is an irrefutable fact.
So by choosing to live one is acting in accordance with a value code, namely acting in accordance to hold any values whatsoever - choosing in essence "the value" if you will.
As a matter of principle, of fundamental truth he is choosing to value and in this act (whatever his later just actions or errors may be), is acting upon his right to his own life
Property rights would be the corollary as one must hold property to sustain oneself
But all natural rights stem from your right to yourself
>OH, so when you choose to hold a value, which is necessary in argumentation, you concede the right to oneself?
Precisely.
*in answering to utilitarianism*
From that question lies the field of ethics as a whole - what I mean to say is answering the questions of how one ought to act. A code of values.
The Utilitarian end is not in accordance with one's nature.
And "human nature" in this context
Isn't the typical vague allusion
But rather the product of the initial two rights we've asserted, that of life and property
Non-aggression easily follows shortly, but the Utilitarian end essentially deems a metaphysical worldview of Men as servants rather than individuals.
But since I'm headed to bed momentarily, on Utilitarianism specifically to through the assertions discussed I'll leave this link to a couple of excerpts
Ayn Rand Lexicon Link in Utilitarianism Section
>yes, and it isn't even in man's nature necessarily to act to the principles of one's utility
---Why Care About Morality---
My stance is that given objective morality, then you cannot rationally argue against the fact that you ought to be moral, because:
Morality is discovered through the use of reason and logic.
The use of reason and logic must assume the validity of reason and logic.
The validity of reason and logic must assume both the existence of truth, and the correctness of being consistent.
Consistency is absence of contradiction.
Contradiction would be self-refuting.
Therefore, to avoid self-refutation within reason/logic, you must be consistent.
Given the correctness of consistency and the existence of truth within reason and logic, we furthermore must look at why this applies to everyone.
Anyone who attempts to engage in argumentation against following objective morality must use logic and reason.
> Morality is discovered through the use of reason in logic.
>
> ...
>
> Consistency is the absence of contradiction.
>
> Contradiction would be self-refuting.
>
> Therefore, to avoid self-refutation within reason/logic, you must be consistent.
Objective morality has been discovered through reason and logic.
Therefore, we have logically found that objective morality is correct.
Therefore, we have discovered that contradictory action to the objective morality is wrong.
Therefore, we have found that it is inconsistent.
This is because to be false, something must be inconsistent with reality.
To be false, something must not be true.
If a theory different from objective morality is not true, then it is false.
Therefore, it is wrong, and therefore inconsistent.
Therefore, to be immoral is to be inconsistent. And given that in order to argue, one must presuppose the correctness of consistency, one cannot rationally argue against following an objective morality given its truth.
