 Yeah, so we want we've won a long time ago, right? Capitalism works socialism doesn't All you have to do is look to your the northern border and see what's happening in Venezuela as if we needed one more example of the complete Misery caused by socialism everywhere. It's tried every time it's tried no matter the continent No matter the century no matter the decade Socialism fails and the opposite is true as well Every time capitalism is tried to the extent that it is tried It succeeds you free up China a little bit and boom wealth is created You free up India wealth is created and of course as I mentioned before 300 years ago before capitalism we were all dirt poor all of us were dirt poor and Capitalism made us relatively rich. It extended life by more than double maybe triple It's made life so much better So not only have we won the economic argument with great economists like Mises and Hayek and Friedman and others But we've won the existential question history proves Unequivocally that socialism states is and collectivism are failures and the freedom in capitalism works on our enormous successes and nobody cares Nobody cares Everybody wants to be a socialist nobody wants to be a capitalist everybody wants to be poor Everybody wants to die of starvation Everybody wants to be oppressed Everybody wants to have no freedom That's what socialism represents, but they all want it somehow next time not to result in that So I think we should all ask ourselves why why is socialism so attractive. It's not because it succeeds It's not because it produces anything It's not because people are wealthy and you know die old and have happy lives It's the opposite. So why is it successful? Why do people love it? and my argument I'm Rans I'm Rans argument was that people love socialism because it's consistent with the mall ethical beliefs that we hold as a culture We think sacrifice is noble. Well, the socialists Want to sacrifice you? in the name of nobility if You believe that suffering is good for the common good for the public interest Then socialists are very good at suffering. They have fine-tuned the art of suffering They can make you suffer all the time in the name of the common good as Long as we believe that the common good the public interest other people's well-being is the moral standard of a good life of Being virtuous of being noble of being good Then socialism wins every single time every single time The real revolution that we need is not an economic or political revolution Those come afterwards, you know people say people say politics is downstream from culture It's become a very popular thing to say right politics is downstream politics is downstream culture, which is true But what's culture downstream from It's downstream from ethics. It's downstream from morality. It's downstream from philosophy If you want to change the culture and therefore change the politics You have to change the moral beliefs of the people you have to get rid of this altruistic, and I'm sorry if I offend anybody Christian morality of sacrifice of Altruism of the idea that other people's happiness is what's important And we have to replace it with something positive because just being anti is not good enough We have to replace it with our morality and nobility of virtue of self-interest what I ran called Rational long-term self-interest a morality that says that no the purpose of life is your own happiness, but not You know, whatever you feel like doing whatever that the moment strikes you whatever the emotions drive you know What in reason in rationality? Really leads to long-term flourishing to be rational to be honest have integrity To be just towards other people to treat people the way they deserve Right not to sacrifice, but to trade Why would you sacrifice sacrifice by nature is a win-lose proposition? If somebody doesn't lose it's not a sacrifice if it's win-win, what do we call it? Trade I will take win-win over win-lose any day because win-lose always turns into Lose lose and I don't want to lose So what we should build is a structure a moral structure on the idea that human relationships should be about win win That human relations should be should be about individuals pursuing their own self-interest and interacting with one another Because it's in your self-interest that the fundamental moral purpose in your life Should be to figure out how to live the best damn life you can live for you Now if you had that morality if you wanted to live a good life if you cared about your own flourishing Then what kind of world would you want to live in what kind of politicians would you want to elect? Politicians would tell you what you can eat and what you can't eat what business you should open and what business you shouldn't open How much you should pay your employees and how much you're not allowed to pay your employees? No If you want to live for yourself if you want a happy successful flourishing life for you You want politicians to leave you alone You want to make decisions about your life about your business about your trading about your consumption About how you live your life. You don't believe in authorities Dictating to you cursing you Individuals who want to flourish as individuals want to be free Freedom is a consequence Freedom is a consequence of the idea of individualism Freedom is a consequence of the morality of individualism of the idea that what matters the only thing that matters politically is the individual and his ability to lead a flourishing life for himself and Individuals who believe that don't succumb to authority. Don't choose between left and right They choose freedom and only freedom the only standard by which we should measure politicians is the extent to which they will Reduce the amount of coercion imposed of us and ideally reduce that amount of coercion imposed on us to Zero because we freedom means as As as link said the absence of coercion We should strive towards absence of coercion not tinkering with regulations not reducing regulations eliminating regulations eliminating controls eliminating restrictions For that just returning you need a morality of freedom a morality of individualism I'm a reality of self-interest and we need to reject and this is why it's hard. This is why it's so damn hard Because again, we won the economics. We won history. We want everything But what makes it hard is that we have to reject a moral code that's being instituted among us for 2,000 years and is ingrained in our souls and we need to take it and put it in the trash bin of history and Adopt something new something better something that's consistent with capitalism and freedom
