    I distinctly remembered when the 1974 energy crisis was in full swing that Walter Cronkite had a news story that said that we had enough oil until 1991. I guess that was the way it was. :-P

      Yeah, I was a kid in the 1970s and I remember them telling us we would have enough gas for 10 or 12 years and this was around 1976 or 1978😂😂 my goodness here in the United States. We sit on it so much black gold, and we have filtrated our oil to make it so much cleaner than any other country in the world.. WHY would Democrat Socialists-Joe Biden in a bunch want to get oil from another country?? I have no idea because the oil we Dubai is more expensive and we have to pay for it and it’s dirtier and I think it’s just not in the way of the left in DC government saying “See, we are the good ones because we are not pumping oil in our country because we need to cut down on CO2 emissions.”
      USA has so much to leverage in? China has stolen so much intellectual property from us that we can cash in and pay off our national debt !! Xi has had a host of billionaires leave the country like Dell, Nike, Intel, and google.😂 Xi had this big meeting with a bunch of American billionaire a week or so ago and I guess he was attempting to kiss there, but I’m hoping they would kiss his ring, but they weren’t interested!! 😂 GOOD!!!!
      Do you wanna say should’ve never gotten into business with them anyway! This CCP is/was evil, and they killed about 50 million of their own people during the great leap forward in another 10 million or so during the cultural revolution and if they don’t care about their own people dying then I don’t care how many of us. Why are 80% of our antibiotics made in China?? Scary!! Bring all of our businesses back to America and quit lying and saying we can afford it blah blah blah because now people are leaving China because Xi is Mao 2.0 & he wants Chinese workers to be paid as much as Americans and the workers aren’t gonna get the benefits for the money is going to go to the CCP so the American businesses are telling him to screw off and it’s more than that but the CCP wants more control over American businesses and they’re not having it

      Murray Newton Rothbard (1926-1995) was an American heterodox economist of the Austrian School, economic historian and political theorist. Rothbard was the founder and leading theoretician of anarcho-capitalism, a staunch advocate of historical revisionism and a central figure in the 20th-century American libertarian movement. He wrote over twenty books on political theory, revisionist history, economics, and other subjects.
      Rothbard argued that all services provided by the "monopoly system of the corporate state" could be provided more efficiently by the private sector and wrote that the state is "the organization of robbery systematized writ large". He called fractional-reserve banking a form of fraud and opposed central banking. He categorically opposed all military, political, and economic interventionism in the affairs of other nations. According to his protégé Hans-Hermann Hoppe, "there would be no anarcho-capitalist movement to speak of without Rothbard".
      Libertarian economist Jeffrey Herbener, who calls Rothbard his friend and "intellectual mentor", wrote that Rothbard received "only ostracism" from mainstream academia. Rothbard rejected mainstream economic methodologies and instead embraced the praxeology of his most important intellectual precursor, Ludwig von Mises. To promote his economic and political ideas, Rothbard joined Lew Rockwell and Burton Blumert in 1982 to establish the Mises Institute in Alabama.

    "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State."

      "If you only do business with good people, (not crooks or government), you will only have good business.", (My quote). How does citizen owned capitalism create a civil and prosperous society? Imagine if you and I were taught in our schools to hate each other, (hard to imagine, right?), but we sill had some individual liberty left to start our own businesses. I own a race shop, and you own a printing company. I need printing done, and I find you on the internet. I visit your shop. You do great work, your prices I can swing, and your "on time delivery" is fantastic. We start doing business together, and we both make more money as a result.
      What do we become?
      Friends!
      I have made some really great friends with my little business, (I actually do own a race shop),--all over the world.
      We trade with money, or we trade with blood.
      I don't know who's "final analysis" communist veblen was talking about, (his own I am sure, dribbled down from marx), but as soon as business goes to government to get favors, it makes it so you and I can't compete in what ever industry it is, so yes, that is sabotage of "OUR CAPITALISM". It belongs to us ya know, capitalism. It is called communism when the government runs the economy---into the ground, (happens every time). If you do not live in a free society where you can use your brain to trade freely with others, for mutual benefit, how could you follow your own dreams? You can't.

    • @whateverimtold9872
      @whateverimtold9872 Před 5 lety

      Right...and what happens when somebody else starts a race shop competing with yours...? You have to start undercutting each other on price and/or service and/or quality. Or the mafia thugs start destroying it and requiring you to pay 'protection'.
      You can whine about communism all day long, but capitalism isn't the dream you think it is either.

      @@whateverimtold9872 (1) Why would they undercut each other in _service_ or _quality_ if they're _competing_ with each other? (2) How is the mafia any _different_ from communism and socialism? Usually the mafia loves it when a socialist comes into power as long as they have good political connections, and they usually do. For it to be capitalism, which we've never done before, the mafia's fraud would have to be dismantled bit by bit. (3) Capitalism has its issues but they're _far_ better issues than communism's.

      He also has a couple of good books critical of Lincoln and what he calls
      "the Church of Lincoln" which consist of the cohort of Historians who practically worship Lincoln.
      He also writes for LewRockwell.com

    ...when they took our states republic constitutions and replaced them with State of ... constitutions. They issued birth certificates with "legal" names. Applications in Texas the VS109 states "MOTHERS LEGAL NAME" "CHILDS LEGAL NAME" a legal name is something you give a thing, like a corporation or a business. In the 1840's or so Texas ceded SOME of its lands to the United States for the purpose of erecting military reservations. Babies legal names are Registered and parents are issued "Certificates" as proof of their registration. In order to play in the quasi public/private field of quasi government banks such as the federal reserve and all its quasi government creations you have to show proof of your legal entity - which is not really you. Back when the constitutions were authorized by the people they said, we the people of the Republic of Texas... now days they don't say that. In the congressional record of about 1864 it shows that Mr. COWAN asked Lincoln WHO were the people and Lincoln said there were two definitions according to his attorney - 1. the people (democracy) and 2 the people of congress (aristocracy). Either way they have made it de facto when Lincoln placed the states into districts and put them under military control and making them into legal identities instead of lawful creations of the people.

  • @montrelouisebohon-harris7023

    FACT!!’ Government is the problem and Ronald Reagan was talking about this back in the 1980s in back in the 1960s and he said that America would just be fine if the government would say the heck out of everything and quit trying to micromanage business and the people. If the government worked on trade and treaties and protecting the country, and made sure that the states were maintaining law and order as well as balancing their budgets, and then we could be OK.

      Robert Brothers What they choose to do impacts other people. Libertarianism also assumes we can be too independent when in truth we are heavily interdependent since we impact each other dramatically.
      That isn't to say people can't decide to cooperate in a libertarian society. However in American Libertarian communities, there's no emphasis put on cooperation. It's placed more on isolationism.

    • @robertbrothers2099
      @robertbrothers2099 Před 8 lety

      I actually agree with you on some of that. But-obviously the reason that we are interdependent to that degree is because it is the antithesis of the premises of the other dynamic. Still, I am not strong on libertarianism politically, because the role of the citizen is to keep sweet, don't rock the boat, and shut the fuck up.
