All government wars are unjust. It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society. The State thrives on war - unless, of course, it is defeated and crushed - expands on it, glories in it. There is one good thing about Marx: he was not a Keynesian. If you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place. Libertarians regard the state as the Supreme, the eternal, the best organized aggressor against the persons and property of the mass of the public. All states everywhere, whether democratic, dictatorial, or monarchical, whether red, white, blue or brown. Early economic theory was rooted in the Italian, French, and Spanish traditions, which were subjectivist oriented. Then it shifted onto the terrible path by Smith and Ricardo and the British classical tradition, which is 'objectivist' - values are in inherent in production.
