Hey Matt and Antonella, thank you so much for this video, we so badly need to learn more about things we've been forbidden for so long, now that we have internet we can go online and find more by ourselves. I'm messaging you from #Cuba, and in these times learning more about freedom and capitalism is key. Greetings from the island. Ivan.
Nothing wrong with poverty. It can be a lesson in what is most important in life. Like if you buy a pumpkin, you don’t throw half of it away. You also collect and keep the seeds. Otherwise Bill Gates will take them from you because he uses the even more powerful instrument of corporatism.
Matt & Antonella ~ Thank you for all the work and effort you do for the cause of Liberty via Natural Rights. Although, there exists a reality that Libertarians simply will not accept .... the vast majority (perhaps 75% to 80%) of highly-urbanized, totally-dependent, pure-consuming people DO NOT want to be free. No! Rather, they want to feel safe, secure and comfortable in their chains. Liberty is a precious notion and it requires these 6 ingredients: intelligence, ability, risk-taking, courage, responsibility and accountability. These 6 things are precisely the values and virtues the mass of urbanites do not possess nor even want to possess. They are satisfied being a mob of sheep, tended by shepherds and watch dogs. Liberty requires its seekers to be at their best. It's difficult. Why do you think Libertarians are at the margins of every civilized society?
It is always so difficult for me to understand why common sense basic principles are not more popular. I know humanity prefers the easy button but are the majority really that comfortable with their chains?
Have you read Marx? He clearly stated that he was anti free markets. He did not created socialism. He created a flavor of socialism called class socialism. There were other forms like fascism where the nation is united through the syndicate corpus(the corporation meaning body) under the state. Or national socialism which emphasizes that the racial group should unite against jewish marxist socialism and jewish capitalism under the state. If you study in depth the works of Marx, Gentile, Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini. They all explicitly stated that they were against free market capitalism and for absolute state control over the economy and nation(s). The nazis were socialist. The fascists were socialist. The marxist were socialist. All of them were either for totalitarianism or authoritarianism. Some were thinking in national terms(fascists) some international(marxist) some in racial terms(nazis). They weren't left or right they were for the good of some arbitrary group and for the good at the expense of any and all individual rights and liberty as the greater good justified any and all crimes committed or devised. Of course their flaw was that the utopian good doesn't follow after immorality you cannot reach heaven by without first being moral. Good follows morality. Good cannot follow after "justified crimes for the greater good" as morality must be integral part of any utopia from the beginning.
