Frederick Douglass was invited to join this self-deportation group, go to Africa, launch a new colony of ex-slaves, and Douglass could be president or an important person. This was Blacks backed by White Christians with money, who believed they had the wisdom to create a republic similar to the US in Africa. Douglass turned them down. In his letter, his reasoning was that he'd prefer to argue about liberal principles with slave owners in the United States, rather than go to Africa where "savage chiefs" had been enslaving blacks "for ages", and to try to debate with them on abstract principles like universal Liberty that they did not respect nor understand. I'm paraphrasing but he said it very eloquently and with more punch. The two phrases that put in quotes are quotations from the letter Douglass wrote.
Thank you for sharing. I look forward to reading it. Have had difficulty reading Mises in comparison to Hayek. Mises is a bit more dry in my opinion, but still very informative with so much knowledge to process. Thanks again for the suggestion.
@@patrickfrise1204really? Hayek prose is so long winded. You can tell Mises was highly educated and trained 19th century scholar at the height of European society. I find Mises’s works methodical. His arguments as air tight as it gets. His prose like God himself is speaking lol.
To MisesMedia, Your video is titled: A Strategy Against Woke . I did NOT see or hear any strategy AT ALL. Thomas exposed the lies of the historians/people with specialties and gave many examples. But there was no solution proposed at all. So, it was a waste of time to watch this video. Unless you are planning to make a follow-up video (in continuation for this one) for his strategy.
Um. Are you kidding? The WOKE are quite literally those who are in the midst of removing our freedoms and tearing apart Western Civilization. "A STRATEGY" TO tear down the woke" is a statement to demonstrate their plan to complete such a World. It is NOT a waste of time in any way. You need to know these things because obviously we are living it and people STILL don't get it. How can you EXIST within the very corruption he speaks of and deny it's there when you are living it? I don't know. It is psychotic. It is insanity. MOST people don't know these things. No matter who you are, you are never too successful, too old, too young, or too knowledgeable to be educated.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely....and when you have such a system men with the mentality of gangsters inevitably gain control. History has proven that." - Lord Acton
Deja Vu! I came across a thin book in a friend's library (newly printed, so he hadn't had it long). Reading it, was astonishing because it described what has now come to pass-----The Author's Name was Hayek. Thank you, Prof. DiLorenzo, for bringing those words from the past into the minds of today.
Read Human Action and Socialism by Mises, and this quote stood out to me because I realized it's very common; "Marx and Ingles never tried to refute their opponents with argument. They insulted, ridiculed, devoted, slandered, and traduced them, and in their use of these methods, their followers are no less expert". Mises in Socialism "The economist cannot be a favorite of the autocrats and the demagogues because the more they realize that his objections are well founded, the more they hate him" Mises in Human Action Every sentence this man writes is profound!!
While hating and refusing marxism, I appreciated Engels's book on the condition of the working class in England (1845), that was spot-on and mostly based on direct observations.

@@NCCC2025 Abe Lincoln: “If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.” Explain to me why 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and with the support of Lincoln passed a constitutional amendment that would preserve slavery in the south, forbidding any federal action from taking place on the matter before the south seceded. Explain to me why Lysander Spooner the author of the unconstitutionality of slavery written in 1845 and a staunch abolitionist despised Lincoln and his administration… oh wait you can’t cause you haven’t read the book.

Gosh! Talking bad about Abe in USA must be a capital crime! Sounds like talking bad about Piłsudski in Poland. In overall it basically confirms what I've been thinking about the US Civil War since always - putting aside which side was more morally right and who owned more slaves, it was a war for/against a federal power grab, not for/against slavery.
they don't need reality or truth to "exist" -- the power of falsity is deep as the power to discern truth from shadow. Darkness is an unlimited store of potential. That's their God.
I think the term "woke" is being overused and misused often to just dismiss ideologies that maybe should have further examination. There is a lack of real justice so people get social justice instead. BLM exists because police brutality exists and some are racist too so society should recognize policing problems. Metoo exists because there are many sexual predators and their victims are ignored so society should recognize that too. What else is "woke" the LGBTQ people well gay pride parades have gone on in America for fifty years so why now is it a problem for people to just not go? Free country free speech but not for "woke" causes? Sounds fascist.
If we are forced at gunpoint to fund public institutions and even turn our children over to them, we have a legitimate say in what they are paid to promote, particularly to minors. That is not an assault on free speech. Fascism is a left wing, big government system in which a tyrannical state colludes with a selected number of big businesses and controlled institutions to rob and oppress all others, determining even what shall be accepted as fact. The modern Democrat party, which owns and is owned by tech, academia, and media, is fascist. Trying to jail and bankrupt political opponents using invented law, the malicious and capricious use of law, jailing of peaceful protestors, gross corruption, disarming citizens while increasing politicians' security, using language to warp rather than describe reality, and contemptuously dismissing the concerns of the people, is all classic totalitarian behavior. Having official victim groups in order to look virtuous is another standard trait. If the country is being robbed and destroyed, who cares, as long as the homos/trans/illegals are happy. Breeders should just shut up and obey. In nice lefty Canada the government is pushing a bill that would allow life imprisonment for speech, and arrests of people who might, based on others' assumptions, someday say something unapproved, like criticizing islamic terrorism or pedophilia. Pre-crime. You won't like where this all goes. You won't be exempt.
Lincoln was absolutely corrupt. He is the prototype for today's scum bag politician. The man was very intelligent, shrewd, but unfortunately used those skills on behalf of evil and lies, rather than truth and decency. Like it or lump it, Lincoln is not who you believe him to be, nor his motivations. Try harder and look deeper.
We need to fight woke, not just complaining about it
No complaining, no explaining, JUST CREATING.
