Tom Woods Debunks the “Socialist Sweden” Myth

by Keith Knight | Nov 4, 2022 | Blog

There’s plenty to say regarding Sweden: (1) its “socialist” policies were made possible by wealth created under an essentially capitalist economy (as recently as the 1950s, remember, government spent less as a percentage of GDP in Sweden than in the U.S.); (2) Swedes earn about 50 percent more in the U.S., in our supposedly wicked economy; and (3) since Sweden’s explosion of social welfare spending there have been zero jobs created on net in the private sector. - Thomas E. Woods Jr., Ph.D., Socialism Sucks Also note that the Nordic countries have more economic freedom than the United...

YouTube Removes Interview Exposing Two High Level Pedophile Rings

“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment...

Marxist-Leninist Admits Libertarians Are Right About Cuba and North Korea!

by Keith Knight | Oct 28, 2022 | Blog

I asked a self-described "Marxist-Leninist" why do people risk life and limb to escape mostly socialist Cuba to the much more free market United States? And why is South Korea wealthier than North Korea? He had a one word answer: Sanctions. Sanctions are when governments coercively violate the property rights of people under the guise of pursuing the greater good. By forcibly stopping people from freely trading and contracting, they make everyone worse off. The Marxist literally is saying government regulation is the cause of people staying poor. Notice there is no principled...

Why is South Korea Wealthier Than North Korea?

by Keith Knight | Oct 27, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/TXjlHzQijBA The heart of the liberal philosophy is a belief in the dignity of the individual, in his freedom to make the most of his capacities and opportunities according to his own lights, subject only to the proviso that he not interfere with the freedom of other individuals to do the same. This implies a belief in the equality of men in one sense; in their inequality in another. Each man has an equal right to freedom. This is an important and fundamental right precisely because men are different, because one man will want to do different things with his freedom than...

Those who believe Washington D.C. has the right to control Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nebraska, and Kansas are true imperialists. All the regulatory agencies that Democrats support literally are imperialist, i.e. one group arbitrarily imposing its will on another through coercion. Excerpt from Jacobin Magazine Lies About Ludwig von Mises!

https://youtu.be/ukKSob-6aAM The human tragedy reaches its climax in the fact that after all the exertions and sacrifices of hundreds of millions of people and the victories of the Righteous Cause we have still not found Peace or Security, and that we lie in the grip of even worse perils than those we have surmounted.
