The Property and Freedom Society ("PFS") is a libertarian anarchist organization devoted to the promotion of property rights, free trade, anti-militarism, anti-empiricism, anti-egalitarianism, the right to discriminate, and cultural conservativism.[1] Founded in May 2006 under the stewardship of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, a libertarian theorist and former University of Nevada, Las Vegas Business School professor, PFS presents itself as a more radically libertarian alternative to the Mont Pelerin Society. The PFS holds annual conferences where leading libertarian, conservative and racialist intellectuals deliver speeches and exchange ideas. The conference has featured lectures by LSU law school graduate Stephan Kinsella on the legal structure of an anarchist society; lectures by Hoppe and Loyola College, Baltimore business professor Thomas DiLorenzo on Rothbardian economics; histories of U.S. foreign policy delivered by Buffalo State College Professor Ralph Raico; and discussions on the role of race in America led by racialist scientist Richard Lynn and white nationalist and segregationist activist Jared Taylor.[2]
Mission
On the fifth anniversary of PFS, Hoppe reflected on its goals:[3]
On the one hand, positively, it was to explain and elucidate the legal, economic, cognitive and cultural requirements and features of a free, state-less natural order.
On the other hand, negatively, it was to unmask the State and showcase it for what it really is: an institution run by gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots – an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches.
Annual conferences
The Eighth Annual Meeting of PFS was held in Bodrum, Turkey from September 19-24, 2013. Topics on the agenda included "The Myth of American Exceptionalism", "World War Two Revisited", and "Why are the Jews so Smart?", as well as a presentation on the history of race relations in the United States delivered by segregationist and white nationalist Jared Taylor. Hans-Hermann Hoppe presented his remarks "On the Nature of Man, Truth, and Justice."[4]
Allegations of racism
Noting the racialist and white separatist affiliations of Richard Lynn, Jared Taylor, and other PFS speakers, the Southern Poverty Law Center condemned the PFS as a "serious academic racist event" populated by the "movers and shakers" of the racialist movement. A May 11, 2007 article by the Las Vegas Review-Journal detailed the criticisms of PFS by the SPLC and the Anti-Defamation League, and also noted that Lynn, a longtime and regular PFS speaker, has described black people as "more psychopathic than whites".[5]
