These lectures are gold. Thank you so much!

[Jaluzaga]

If one were to refute Hans-Hermann Hoppe's statements one will be in a logical contradiction, therefore Hans-Hermann Hoppe will win the argument.

"With the State of Liechtenstein I'm already negotiating."

Genius!

[AnyerSpinoza]

His logical argumentation is overwhelming

[truevoice]

Just one question, how is heightened criminal activity attributable to an increase in welfare payments?

[AynManRand]

The correlation is there. What does it mean? Can a theory be built? That's the point of the talk.

[gulbirk]

so when you remove democrasy, what will you put in its place?

I think he did not understand Popper falsability. Nevertheless, it is interesting.

[reachforacreech]

@truevoice08 Google 'how the welfare state corrupted sweden bylund'.

[megatherium]

It is not the welfare state per se that heightens criminality(it sure doesn´t help reducing criminality also), is the kind of people that receive this benefits that have the problem. Poor people have always tenden to have more anti-social behaviour as a whole, thats part of the problem why poor people(some of them, not all) can´t get stable long term employment and careers, you need to be a realiable person and with good maners as a first prerequisite to get a good job.
