Rather, they did so by becoming more productive and thus creating more wealth. - Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business Justin Tosi is an Associate Professor of Strategy, Economics, Ethics, and Public Policy at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.

Dumbest Venn Diagram of All Time?
I believe that every argument should begin with commonly understood definitions. Capitalism is a social system based on the explicit recognition of private property and voluntary contracts. Communism is the abolition of private property altogether. And socialism is institutionalized aggression against private property and contracts between consenting adults. Every short-coming of capitalism applies many times over to socialism since the latter does not legally recognize people's right to voluntarily defund or disassociate with unproductive actors in society. Under capitalism, no one can take...
A History of Communist Ideas From Karl Marx to COVID Lockdowns
https://youtu.be/5uWiRyxewxo What was singular in Cambodia was the all-encompassing “year zero” ambition of the Khmer Rouge. Here Communism was reduced to its essentials, as a negation of everything existing, a war of the young on the old, a social leveling of society down to equality in abject poverty and misery. Pin Yathay, a Cambodian engineer whose family was wiped out by the Khmer Rouge before he escaped and staggered on foot across the mountains to Thailand, later recalled of life in “Democratic Kampuchea,” “There were no schools, no money, no communications, no books, no courts.…...
Konstantin Kisin is Verifiably Wrong About Foreign Policy
https://youtu.be/IKySeu-BHCI Then the fighters realized that the gang in the White House could not see things clearly, and that their leader (that idiot they obey) was claiming that we envied their lifestyle — when the truth, which this Pharaoh would like to hide — is that we are attacking them because of their injustice toward the Muslim world, and especially Palestine and Iraq, as well as their occupation of the land of the two sanctuaries. When the fighters saw this, they decided to come out of the shadows and take the fight into their territory, into their homes. – Al Qaeda in Its Own...
Progressive Myths w/ Dr. Michael Huemer & Keith Knight
https://youtu.be/yhL7B3Aqw9I [H]omicides committed by blacks against whites are more than twice as common as homicides by whites against blacks in the U.S., despite that there are 5.6 times more white people than black people in the U.S. A randomly chosen black person is thus 13 times more likely to kill a white person than a random white person is to kill a black person. (p. 32) Males make up only 50% of the population but 95.5% of the police shooting victims. (p. 63) The gender pay gap statistics do not control for occupation or other relevant factors. In other words, they are not, in...
On “Election Integrity”
The government openly claims the right to control everyday decisions millions of people make with taxes and regulations. Why would they have some exception for who gets to run for (or be elected) President of the United States? The same deep state Domestic Imperialist mindset that regulates all commercial interactions "for your own good" obviously does not just sit idly by and let people decide who the official USA mascot is.
The Sad Truth About WWII
https://youtu.be/5TlmL9IRtps Among the people many, in their desire to emerge from an almost unbearable tension, went so far as to say out loud that they wished the enemy would risk the attack. Foremost among them, Mr. Churchill found the waiting hard to bear. I can still see him at Chequers, one August day, raising his fists towards the sky as he cried, ‘So they won’t come!’ ‘Are you in such a hurry,’ I said to him, ‘to see your towns smashed to bits?’ ‘You see,’ he replied, ‘the bombing of Oxford, Coventry, Canterbury, will cause such a wave of indignation in the United States that they’ll...
A Strategy for the Right w/ Daniel McCarthy & Keith Knight
https://youtu.be/K3T-K0peaDo A second crucial point: society is divided into a ruling elite, which is necessarily a minority of the population, and lives off the second group — the rest of the population. Here I point to one of the most brilliant essays on political philosophy ever written, John C. Calhoun’s “Disquisition on Government.” Calhoun pointed out that the very fact of government and of taxation creates inherent conflict between two great classes: those who pay taxes, and those who live off them; the net tax payers vs. the tax consumers. The bigger government gets, Calhoun noted,...
