The Philosophy of Liberty: Plunder
Loading...
Uploaded by TheF4FS on Jun 13, 2011
http://www.myfreesociety.com In this follow up video to The Philosophy of Liberty: Property, we explore Frederic Bastiat's concept of Legal Plunder. Is it ever OK for government to steal your stuff and give it to someone else? Or is government just a glorified organized crime syndicate ala Tony Soprano? Does it really make sense for citizens to plunder each other like competing bands of vikings?

@ForeignPerson1 Maybe you are new to English ForeignPerson1. Liberty has NEVER meant a license to steal. It doesn't mean hiring the government to do your dirty work.
Liberty = freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control from others. Liberty = FREEDOM, NOT to hurt other people, but freedom from other people hurting you.
Capiche?

Excellent video

This video is one of the few places that mentions that public schools plunder liberty. Very few people realize that fact, but think about this: Why is there such a large debate in public schools over creationism vs evolution if children were given the liberty to choose which side to believe? Our schools force students to believe one theory or another, rather than giving them the liberty to learn arguments on either side and then choose.

Great video, especially for kids, who are being indoctrinated in gov.-run schools to grow government. It's interesting how legal plunder creates a survival of the fittest aspect, as different groups compete to lobby for legislation. The biggest cat wins.While so much legislation aims to make things "fairer" by bending nature to man's will, it actually does worse things than if natural competition was allowed to flourish. It becomes man conquering nature, i.e. man enslaving other men.
