THE MYTH OF A GUILTY NATION

The author, born in Scranton, PA, was an American liberatarian author, journalist, editor of The Freedom and The Nation, and later a freelance journalist in New York City, and Brussels, Belgium, educational theorist and social critic. Nock was not opposed to Jeffersonian Republicanism, but the democracy and evil forces that subverted it; he had no kind words about the nation’s political system or process. He opposed all forms of a centralized, all-powerful government (as did our Founding Fathers) and their regulation, taxation and education (which are all planks of the Communist Manifesto), and that State’s degradation of society. He opposed war and was an outspoken opponent of Roosevelt and his “New Deal”.
