Planned Chaos - by Ludwig von Mises - (Full Audiobook)

17:25 “The interventionists do not approach the study of economic matters with scientific disinterestedness, most of them are driven by an envious resentment for those who’s incomes are larger than their own. For them, the main thing is not to improve the conditions of the masses, but to harm the entrepreneurs & capitalists - even if this policy victimizes the immense majority of the people.”

The most important text anyone can read on the machinations going on right now that Josh didn't mention (I'm not sure if he even knows about it), is Tragedy and Hope by Princeton history professor Carol Quigley. It was written in the 60's and outlined exactly how the trans-national Oligarch socialists had consolidated their power up to that point, and how they were going to consolidate their power globally in the future. It describes what we are witnessing today EXACTLY. Since it's 1300 pages I will link to the excellent "cliff notes" if you will: odysee.com/@joe-plummer:b/Tragedy-and-Hope-101:9 Also, if you want the full picture from one of the best investigative journalists of the past 20 years, I highly recommend www.TheCorbettReport.com. He has connected all of the dots to a terrifying degree. It's much, MUCH more serious than Biden simply winning the election, though he is the vanguard of their plans here in the US.

[@christopherarmstrong2710]

@@CastleHassall Exactly. Makes no sense if the laws are not worth the paper they're written on (e.g. Soros backed DA's in highly Blue cities & states). That's where strong-sometimes tough, when called for-leadership is needed. But, strong rule of law does act as a moral compass and checks and balances against unjust / unwanted behaviors. So I believe "the _rule_ of law" is different than mere "laws," and already implies that their "rule" (enforcement) is strongly enforced.

Interesting how capitalists want to regard fascism as a form of socialism, while socialists consider it an extreme version of capitalism. It's the adult version of "I know you are, but what am I."

[@vegvisirphotography5632]

And your dad told you Santa existed, which was a malicious lie. Giovanni Gentile was the editor at large of Italy's most popular MARXIST publication. He was frequently pictured with his comrades, as a paid up communist party member. I'm looking at 2 years worth of pictures in 1918-1920 when Adolph was wearing his communist party colours. Both socialists. Both of the national variety. Opposing globalism. A national socialism, though fascism and national socialism is different. Black people were in Mussolini's govt. Muslims. Protestants. Catholics. Jews. No camps. A form of ultra national socialism. He opposes religion. There is nothing right wing about fascism or national socialism. The far right is the realm of religious purity and absolutism. An eye for an eye. Ultra conservative is not ultra nationalist. Nationalism is not left or right. Scotland today has a left wing nationalist party, who use ultra socialist idologies. Yes, you heard. I tell you this as someone with a dissertation on Giovanni Gentile, and a former Marxist.

[@vegvisirphotography5632]

The free market ideal under classical liberalism and libertarianism to the extent these ideologies have been used, are the ”extreme version of capitalism” and fascism is not. The socialists’ prime argument is that ”capitalism will lead to fascism or corporativism”, rather than to equate these ideologies. The fascists’ argument is comparatively simular, namely that capitalism paves the way for socialism by housing the same materialist principles as well as holding simular utilitarian ambitions. Since seperation of powers is likely the most central thesis in the liberal ideology and Socialism and Fascism equally disregard this as fiction, I think if nothing else, we can safely assert that Socialistic and Fascistic views on power are more closely related than either are to Enlightenment liberalism

@@Dad-GadNATO is not a unified bloc but rather an organization by individual nations who joined willingly, which would render mutual defensive aid to each other in the event of an external force. Contrary to what you’d believe NATO does not exist to deter Russia, but rather to prevent inter European wars. For example: Belgium’s nato guarantee doesn’t exist because of Russia - it exists because of Germany, and France. Russia falsely claims Ukraine is an artificial state yet internationally recognized their borders on multiple occasions. The entirety of Russian history is inexorably linked to the creation of Kyiv by Swedish Rus-folk. You claim the west is weak and incapable of power projection but in the same breath claim that everything negative is due to American influence. Eventually axioms appear and Russia’s degradation to a local/regional power is absolutely visible. If you’re retarded enough to disregard demographic data posted by those nations themselves, you’re going to be in for a very rude awakening when your worldview becomes shattered.

27:45 "The only means to acquire power and to preserve in a market economy not altered by a government-made privileges and restrictions is to serve the customers in the 'best' and cheapest* way." Pff, yeah, I guess it's just harder to direct differently all those hundreds of millions of people to value things and obtain them by minimizing the amount of objective and emotional dissatisfaction & disenfranchisement in such a succinct way, right ? There's still some enforcement and restriction left; and requirements (money) to obtain smth can still be lowered, but it's literally that our individual actions would be tied to the requirements and requirements and hardships for everyone else if we get it more easily; everything is freaking tied in, and that' supposed to be "optimal", because we can only think of the government (when it's theoretically/ideally not corrupted nor has a secret agenda) as doing the same action of getting for free in our place, right ? It's the government. And it's 2021. Can't it try to affect the pricing of the companies themselves ? We know how investments can be risky and yet allows for increased purchasing power in the consumer base ever so slightly by giving away money with trust without having immediately/automatically exchanged with smth of equal "value" in the first place, can't the government due these kinds of "investments" of a different nature than getting translating or defaulting those prices to other people ? If it transcends the market ? I'm not convinced on that idea yet, but it sounds like we can do more and have not enough yet, if even just that general idea just above, not even in theory And sure, you could say that Socialist Statism differs from all other forms of authoritarianism in that it intentionally works "for" the people, but not necessarily "by" it, and more directly by taking the responsibility for obtaining needed/demanded goods away from their ability to "earn" it in the however ultimately subjective and changing ways that employees can value whatever activity (i.e. "labour" that you can offer them); which means that your value fluctuates with time, *inherently* , because of others' unchecked changes, and thus can f*** over you over without you even knowing it nor caring; it's not like either the organic/artificial price setters know much about the macroeconomic situation and the status of their consumer base before deciding how to price their objects or to decide what to do in the current quarter and the upcoming ones, and it's not like their "rational actors", same with teh consumers, they might not know as much as they should in order to complete what they need to do in the "democracy" of the marketplace, or to keep the companies sharp, with them being trapped and harmed by their own hubris or complacency...)
