uhh taxation is theft is the libertarian response? Do you ever talk to libertarians?

I was watching your "Socialism Has Never Worked" video cause it showed up on my facebook, and decided to see what you currently putting out.

I found your video about socialsm completely worthless if not negative from a consequentialist utilitarian perspective. The plebeians are dumb and you make socialism into a more complex thing than it is. I suggest a close read of Blumer's "What is Wrong With Social Theory" when applied to the vast expanse you pretend describes socialism in claiming t hat it is not what you or Obama want when you both seem to think utilizing state coercion to fund "public goods" is not morally impermissible?

I guess what I really hated about your video is even acknowledging the ludicrous meta narrative of "socialism has never worked." People who make sentences like that are not worth listening to on the subject because it is like playing chess with checkers. Intelligent people do not dispute whether state coercion and centralization can effectively set prices so as to sustainably manage economy to some end. Intelligent people who are for the free market do not assert socialism will not work but instead that it is unlikely to lead to as efficient a result as a free market absent state coercive intervention--at least across the board. Sure as I imagine you understand some roles for the state as protecting private property or other things perhaps in line with the ideas of Locke, Rawls or John Stuart Mills.

Anywho please make better content. Nearly 1% of people in the US are already behind bars, many for victimless crimes.

If you want ideas on libertarian stances I'd love to provide real stances, not strawmen the left is notorious for in manufacturing consent of the uninformed masses. Indeed Adam Smith was correct in Wealth of Nations that division of labor has enabled humans to become as stupid and animal like as one can be.
