One thing I call bullshit on--no, people are not "inherently evil/stupid" yada yada yada original sin yada.  We're the species that put all our chips into our brains and our ability to socialize, so knock off the self aggrandizing already.  As Stef pointed out, there is no such thing as human nature.  It's just a cop out argument used by people who want to sound smart.  And same with the snipe at big pharma too...grief.  We have enough conspiracy pillocks in this movement already kthxbai.

The comments by statist in this video are stupid.
Got a moron making wild claims about what would happen in an ancap society while saying that there has been no ancap society in history.

To every socialist pillock saying "NAZISM WASN'T SOCIALIST! I DON'T CARE WHAT THE NAME WAS!!!11"

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler, 1 May 1927

What's more, doesn't anyone think it's a bit weird that they refer to such a country with a vast military as socialist, despite the huge amount of machinary and capital it controlled via the state and the huge state controls and production, etc they had? And there's the fact that the Nazis literally burned Mises' books....but you know, we're *SUCH* Nazis. *rolls eyes*  Sorry, socialists and other theists.  Hitler was in YOUR camp, deal with it.

ofc ourse citation of Hitler can often be unreliable. i'mpretty sure there  are alsocited statementsof beng an atheist andthat is very questionable.

Such as?

Also, I think you missed the point of my post, dude. The point was Nazism IS socialism.  The fact that I taped the term "and other theists" in it doesn't change that.

my point was that statements on what an ideology supposedy is canoften be unreiable. Or are you suggesting the Republicans are the party of small government because that's what they claim they are? I'm just tryng to take a step back and examine thngs carefuly.. Not defending Naziism or SOcialism by any means but understandng the language of politics is important what is claimed to be and what "is"are two different things.

Fair enough, although you didn't see the last part of my post regarding the huge military state--and the huge amount of capital in control of said state that would imply, did you? Or the whole burning Mises' books thing...

As for the quote itself, take it up with Shane, he was the one who provided to a liberal making the "Hitler was a capitalist!" argument.

I think it should also be noted that this douchebag claims he doesn't care about our sympathy, yet went to the media to play the sympathy card. Fuck him for that too.

The first hour or so is an excellent discussion of Net Neutrality:

I'll go ahead and spoil this one bit from Leo at 44:08: "You have a political bent that is against government regulation in general, and I understand people's reluctance to let the government get involved in any way in the internet, but I feel the government has created this problem by creating a lack of competition. Maybe the solution is to foster competition, as opposed to regulate Net Neutrality."

FINALLY!!!

Well, have another cluon then.

Let whoever it is have their fun. It's like Whose Line Is It Anyway: the points don't matter!
