Samizdata
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed Samizdata[1] is a British group weblog. Founded on 2 November 2001, by Perry de Havilland and originally named ‘Libertarian Samizdata’, it dropped the label due to the reluctance of editors to subscribe to a particular label.[2]
Edited by "anarcho-libertarians, tax rebels, Eurosceptics, and Wildean individualists," Samizdata is one of the UK's oldest blogs.[3] The editors describe Samizdata.net as "a blog for people with a critically rational individualist perspective. We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous.[4]
In 2005, The Guardian wrote that it was "by some measures the nation's most successful independent blog," with over 15,000 unique visitors a day, and "arguably the grandfather of British political blogs."[2] In 2008, The Observer labeled it as one of the fifty most powerful blogs in the world.[5][3]
