    Sadly, a lot of people get tripped up because they are confused about one simple thing. We are not the government.

    This really short book covers it well. https://cdn.mises.org/anatomy-of-the-state.pdf

    In fact the first chapter argues that really pretty convincingly. So it only takes about 5 minutes to properly understand that we are not the government. Backing a politician’s grab for power really doesn’t benefit you, because, really, you are just giving social support to more power going to the uniparty, which doesn’t work for you.

    It’s one of the shortest books written. It’s basically Machievilli if you freeze dried it into a two hour read. And the critical parts are up front.
