The Origin And Nature Of International Conflict (by Hans-Hermann Hoppe)

[TheHomoludens]

"the foundation of liberty is private property"

this is the essence of the "libertarian" philosophy, it clearly reveals itself as a system of believes, all built on this core idea.

I wish Hoppe would use his critical thinking on his own position, but maybe that would drive away his sponsors...

What is the name that he mentions at 34:17 right after La Boetie?

Thanks!

@Jaluzaga Hume (David Hume). He also comes up in a video 'On Morality and Utility', on my channel.

the soviet union was substantially less cruel in its aggressive undertakings than the US?

Democracy should be de-legitimized! People should know that the mass murder of Iraqis and Afghans is a result of democratic ideology more than anything else.

[phroto13]

@truevoice08 as was the murder of jesus and socrates, and the "witches" in salem massachussettes suffered the wrath of democracy

Palestinians voted in Hamas... yes, they are in war with other democracies.

Sociology is not only worthless, but dangerous. It warps ones mind - it divores political questions from ethical questions

Like it or not, all government - democracies, rebulics, monarchies, dictatorships - are democratic

If there is a culture which hates reason, hates material wealth, worships petty, primitive lifestyles, their government - and it's behavior will refelct that.

Such cultures are necessarily threats to their opposites

Life, nor peace is not achieved by standing still

[TheHomoludens]

@grantsinmypants2 "Sociology is not only worthless, but dangerous"

Agree, would like to add:

sociology doesn´t put out predictions that could be empirically tested, which is mandatory for any science according to "critical rationalism" as laid out by Popper.

The same is true for psychology and economics - pseudo-sciences...

Popper called the different approaches "nominalism" ("what does that mean?") vs. "essientialism" ("what is it?"), but I think it´still: sophism vs. philosophy.

Whatever your personal opinion of Hans Hermann Hoppe, you have to admitt that this is brilliant.
