**Tests to see if your pals are really open-minded, reality-oriented Voluntaryists. State the following and gauge reaction:**

* Venezuela collapsed in large part due to US sanctions, not just “because socialism.”

* John F. Kennedy was a terrorist leader no better than any other MSM bogeyman, burning children alive with napalm and escalating the Vietnamese conflict.

* The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were massacres of innocent human beings of unprecedented scale.

* Abe Lincoln viewed blacks and whites as irreconcilably different and wished to send blacks “back to Africa.”

* George Washington and the other founding fathers were slaveholding hypocrites.

**Implicit American exceptionalism has crept into even the most vocally “anarchist” groups, think-tanks, and conferences. It’s a wonderfully insidious way to keep anarchists and Voluntaryists from actually becoming a threat to the status quo: DANGLE A CHUNK OF PURE ANARCHIST PHILOSOPHICAL, JUICY MEAT ON A STRING, GET THE GOOD-HEARTED FOLKS LOOKING FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE SALIVATING, AND THEN QUOTE SOME KENNEDY INTO THEIR EAR, OR FIRE UP THE TWO-MINUTES' HATE ABOUT *FOREIGN* SOCIALISM!**
