I have lived in Scandinavia and still want to get a copy of Holberg’s “naturrett” (natural law) in Danish, but here Hoppe sums up probably what Holberg states In his tome: natural law as : self ownership, property appropriation (lawful) , and transactions.
Absolutely and unfortunately correct
Laser-focused indictment of the current mess.
"Call things by their right names." - Confucius on fixing government.
*Confucius on wisdom* .. Nothing to do with government. But I do understand your sentiment.. The left coins new words, turns new phrases and appropriates words which have had power. Liberal was appropriated because of the power it was in the 60's.
@@Zichronot Well, good points but Confucius was all about advising the rulers in good government and the source I had stated, clearly correctly, that it was on fixing government. Obviously, it's a pervasive problem both in and out of government. The Left's vocabulary is deceitful and only useful in manipulating the manipulable. The Left's use of the word liberal is extremely deceitful.
Government can't be fixed.
@@RepublicConstitution I would be inclined to agree in so far as the real solution is for the individual to fix themselves, not the government. But there are better forms of government.
“Washington, D.C.] The Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees’ 2014 report shows that Medicare and Social Security, the most popular government programs in the U.S., have reached nearly $49 trillion in long-term unfunded liabilities. This equates to a liability of more than $150,000 for every person in the United States.
Romina Boccia, the Grover M. Hermann fellow at the Heritage Foundation, reported on the massive unfunded liabilities in the Daily Signal on Wednesday.
According to Boccia, the federal government has promised benefits to a large number of Americans that it can’t pay for, creating an uncertain and unsustainable future for those most in need.
To combat this long-term liability, Congress would need to be set aside $49 trillion today in order to secure Social Security and Medicare benefits in the future. If Congress fails to act, beneficiaries would see drastic benefit cuts after 2030.”

Central banking is more the answer. Automation is a great thing.
It’s not one thing it’s a multi layered type of thing
@@right-winglibertarian3896 central banking is just a tool to finance the deficits; it's government overspending which is more at the root

Hans also mentioned some of this in his Socialism and Capitalism book.
Great book!

Rome, although there had been many warning signs over the years, failed to realized that its end was approaching until the enemy was flooding over the seventh hill. Like Rome, America has ignored the danger staring at it both from within AND without. Its now highly likely that catastrophe (in whichever form) will strike this country suddenly on a day like any other and when its over America will have changed drastically forever.
Rome was not brought down by "enemies" it was falling by its own weight like Russia and by an increasing new religion that rejected imperialism and pagan governments, which took power away from the Roman state and changed the culture of the population from a more liberal position to more conservative one in comparison, and all of this was a good thing since the break down of the evil empire brought a thousand Liechtenstein in the middle ages and the political division and polycentric order, decentralized power and made possible the raise of capitalism at the end of the middle ages increasing further in modern era. Sadly the state was also increasing as capitalism did.
This is a fantastic speech if only Hans do not assume people could be on multiple government handouts at the same time this drastically decrease is his 70% figure
True, but more importantly, the vast number of regulations and interventions, especially fed monetary policy, makes a tangled mass of partially dependent businesses and corporations, and by proxy all shareholders, employees, and customers of those businesses. It makes it impossible to have clarity about who are the net benefactors of the state beyond the state itself.

Hoppe!! Hoppe!! Hoppe!!
More and more, the truth will be revealed. Long ago, the old European noble aristocratic class, who had lost their feudal slave grip during the Glorius Revolution, joined forces with the radical Socialists by the time of Kant. They completely warped the ideology of John Locke. French philosophers took it from there, and that leads to those like Babeuf (the first Communist) and Marat, as well as the Conspiracy of Equals and the Chartist movement in Britain. The Communists were within the Jacobins, and those Jacobins came to the US, forming the Democrat Clubs. They infiltrated Jefferson's new Anti-Federalist/Republican Party, making it the Democratic-Republican Party. George Washington warned about the Jacobin Democrats, before his death, that they would side with France. Is it any wonder that, later on, the French and the Catholic Church worked together to finance and arm Jefferson Davis' southern Plantationists? Thomas Jefferson was for a regulated bank, but not like that of Hamilton, a Federalist. James Madison led the Democrats and claimed to be totally against banking. This led to the famous dinner and Hamilton-Madison compromise, where Hamilton would sell bonds to pay the war debt and create money, as well as a national bank. Washington DC was created over this due to state debt.
This scheming led on to the Federalists and Democrats joining forces after the Federalist Party supposedly died. Federalism pushed Colonialism and world domination, which was tied to the noble aristocrats and monopoly companies. Finally, the more-moderate Jefferson Republicans had enough and split from the party in 1824. They reappear as the conservative Whigs, then, as Republicans, under Lincoln. However, some on the right had the Federalist ideology too, and we see the radical Republicans during the Civil War. The Republicans understood the need for banking and capitalism, but not to use it as the Democrats intended on doing. This was still the fight between the "free banking" wanted by the left, and the controlled central banking of the protestant conservative right.
The Democrat's ideology is the Jacobin ideology, and the plantation is the same as Babeuf's "commune." It is nothing but feudalism rebranded. Both Marx and Engels were Babeufians, and when Babeuf and the Jacobin's hopes of a European worker's revolution later failed, Marx concocted his plan of using the Hegelian Dialectic to force a revolution by propaganda. Hegel's thought came from the radical Socialist philosophers such as Kant. The radical Socialists had changed from wanting no law at all, (the 1450s - 1700s) to wanting a central government of "universal law" spread internationally (Kant) by hard and soft power. Thus, Communism is international radical Socialism.
The perverse and degenerative libertine thought of the hard-left can be traced back to the radical Hussites, Socinianism, and Unitarianism of the Protestants, as well as the ultra-liberal sects of the Catholic Church, and the followers of the Sabbateans and Frankists. In the Catholic Church, they were the "reformed Catholics" and those within several of the "military" orders.
The Federalist ideology became globalism, which now pushes radical socialism.
Would love a few history book recommendations to help me trace this thread.
@@seanrobbins3855 Same, have you made any progress?
You think the USA is bad in this regard?? Look at the EU - the Napoleonic code. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and N. Ireland however is subject to ancient Common Law which is one of the many reasons why the U.K. is leaving the sclerotic EU. The USA and Canada theoretically enjoys the same common law but looking at the way things are going in Canada I’m beginning to wonder . . . .
You mean civil law
@@dansonoflightning2277 - no. The ancient Common Law.
He is right in the context that the USA government officials have forgotten that they work for US, the taxpayers. Not for foreign groups or governments or non legals or whatever. For the CITIZENS of the United States of America. Gov. officials need to be reminded of this.
@The Expat Dodo yes
The government doesn't work for the taxpayer, the taxpayer works for the government. If it were the other way around, they wouldn't be called taxes, but simply voluntary payments

People dress like slobs in public nowadays. I actually find it distressing.
You are correct.
Dont you mean disdressing?
This is a fallacy. It’s the same that people are more rude than ever before.
Yes, but so few men have the necessary skills, or access to ready game to dress themselves in the hides of the many animals they have killed while taming the land, any longer.
If this is what bothers you the most, you're a lucky man.
Male is female and female is stunning and brave.
I love Hans Herman Hoppe his take on democracy, and this lecture debunks they myth that America is better than Europe
Hoppe is a hero!
it is a travesty i have only one *uprate* to give to this video
Oh how my country has fallen
Phenomenal
Hello from the USA, these regulations really only exist if you watch t.v. and live in cities. BTW, I have a place to sell in Chicago. Most Americans ignore the Government in the USA. However, The Governor of Illinois is an excellent example of this God complex. JB Pritzker owns Hyatt hotels and is worth 5 billion probably 10 billion now because he makes money from pcr tests. His tweets are a perfect example of creating a nanny state. However he lives near me in Wisconsin where I have fled because it is free here. There are signs over the roads in Illinois that state things like do not take a selfie in a car, dumb shit like that, it creates stress. The pollution in Illinois is horrific now. The Democrats have ruined the state which gave birth to Abraham Lincoln.

This is Gold!
How are the german regulations ???

We are hiding in red states or swing states. Our media is owned by the left. They are a small percentage it just seems large because it is television. Many of us are living happy free lives. We are outside, not inside watching t.v.
All you need to do is find out the REAL reasons for the Holy Inquisition - and WHO they were really after and WHAT they had actually been doing to the people.
You're citing the Catholic Church as an institution trying to uproot moral corruption? That's hilarious. Can I interest you in buying some tickets to heaven? I'll throw in a nice Brooklyn Bridge, all yours.
Inquisitions are state made, that is the reason.
@@gamingtemplar9893 - the so called Spanish Inqisition was set up by the Pope - following a plea from the Royal Family Isobella and Ferdinand of Spain - when they discovered WHO had been disguising themselves as Roman Catholic priests and been carrying out black masses and all manner of sexual perversions and deviancy on the people in rural areas of Spain.

Okay Hansel! where is Gretel?
He sent her to a boarding school for special educational needs children.
He physically removed her, so to speak.
All that being said.... Professor Hoppe is clearly CORRECT in arguing that society is falling apart, due to increasing statism and the moral degeneracy it brings. His blunder is to blame this on democracy and to de facto advocate dictatorship (whether absolute monarchy or some other form of dictatorship).
I haven’t taken his view on things as advocating one form or dictatorial rule over another. Rather, he’s pointed out how the parroted narrative of democracy being assumed as better than monarchy hides the flaws of democracy, which in his argument are worse in the worst case scenarios of an oligarchy brought about by democracy versus a monarchical dictatorship.
But he advocates for a more decentralized form of government, not a dictatorship or absolute monarchy.
Hell, he even views absolute monarchy as the beginning of the decline.
No. This is to not actually read Hoppe. He is not an advocate of monarchy. He merely says it's preferable to democracy. Those two are not the same thing. Hoppe is an anarcho-capitalist. No state is the ideal, whether democracy or monarchy
@@OrthoHoppean So to have a government you can not change is less bad than to have a government you can change? That is not in line with historical experience - for example people fled from the France of Louis XIV (the Sun King). Nor does Hoppe seem to grasp the vital difference between Constitutional (limited) Monarchy and Absolute Monarchy.
@@OrthoHoppean The historical claim that Germany and Austro-Hungary were less statist than Britain and France before the First World War is the reverse of the truth - they were more statist (not less).
Creepy
Trying to blame democracy for the rise of statism does not work - the United States had government elected by the people for more than a century BEFORE the rise of statism as a proportion of the economy. Also dictatorships such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia had a a bigger (not a smaller) state, relative to the size of their economy, than the United States and other democratic nations in the same period. Imperial Germany was a more, not a less, statist society than Britain and France in 1914 - just as Nazi Germany was more, not less, statist than Britain and France in 1939.
The absolute monarchies (dictatorship - a system where the people can not vote out the ruler) are certainly not associated with a high level of morality - as an examination of the Roman Emperors, or Louis XIV and other "enlightened" despots shows.
And are we really supposed to believe that the rise of statism under, for example, the Emperor Diocletian was caused by democracy?
The problem of increasing statism can not be solved by arguing, as Professor Hoppe de facto does, that people should have the right of voting the rulers out of office taken away. And as for implying that people will be more moral under dictatorship - well that is odd thing for a person with a German accent to imply.
@@freedomarts I did not say that all monarchies are dictatorships. Only unlimited monarchies - such as that of Louis XIV (the Sun King) are dictatorships.
@@freedomarts And if we are talking about directly before the First World War - well none of the powers were pure "dictatorships", but Germany and Austro-Hungary were more statist societies than Britain and France were - someone like Hans Herman Hoppe implies the opposite.
@@freedomarts Why should an unlimited monarchy take 10% - why not everything? First Book of Samuel, Chapter Eight. Eventually if a monarchy is unlimited that is what happens - and YES it happens in an unlimited democracy as well.

Lmao, the government purchases SpaceX’s services therefore Elon Musk is dependent on the state (specifically in the negative connotation that he implies).
Rule of thumb: Anyone who is claiming moral degradation of some group of someone, needs to swallow the projection.
Lol. By your logic, we can't criticize anyone on moral grounds at all without it being a projection. But I'm willing to bet that you don't actually believe that or practice that.
Low employment in USA : four main reasons
1. Corporate outsourcing for cheap labor.
2. Robotics and computer tech replacing human labor.
3. Minimum wage jobs are impossible to support an individual, no less a family. Minimum wage needs to be double what it is.
4. By law, only corporations are the only taxable entities (via capital gains tax), yet courtesy loopholes pay almost nothing.
Conclusion: Fewer and fewer people have more and more, while more and more people have less and less. The rich get richer, while the poor get shafted.
Can anything be done? I don't think so, as the rich own everything from presidents and armies to the media and education.
