Would love to see videos on more political ideologies such as minarchism, communism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-capitalism, social liberalism, classical liberalism, facism, etc.

I'm glad you didn't use liberal. I feel a real liberal is independent. Being open to new ideas is not someone grounded in party ideology.

[NotANameist]

I lean conservative and found this to be very fair and logical breakdown. Thank you for providing that without including bias of either side

[xtremethegreatone]

Perhaps we should have progressivism ideals that benefits for everyone in the world by creating ideas for the future.

Blows my mind people can look at these two and decide "yep I want my society to stagnate forever, technological and social change are horrible."

[radha]

Do private sector innovative?? Is there any reality in this? Could you make a video about it

[blake]

i’m like 68% conservative and 32% progressive

[Johnnysmithy]

A society needs a healthy amount of both.

I think I am more of a social conservative and fiscally liberal .That's the reason many people say that I belong to the Nazbol gang .

I am an economic progressive, social libertarian, and on everything else for One America and national unity. The only thing that matters in government is economics. Economics is an art not a science. It is simply rules that all agree to. Independence through manufacturing our own items, selling them with our our own stores, and being able to farm our own produce etc. ensures we can determine those rules and not let someone somewhere else determine them and the value of our means of exchange which is money. Anyway - as an economic progressive there are two very important matters to control - the financial system (national banking) and payment of income to workers, retirees, and the disabled unable to work which then is spent and drives the economy through the economic vote in choice. To enhance choice anti-monopoly rules are put into place and competition rules enforced. The worker is protected against explotation with max. hours laws (8 hr day for example), guaranteed vacation time and holiday's, and breaks and is allowed representation through a Union in the workplace to protect those rights. A social tariff exists on all imports to equal out the cost of making it here to there and thus being a great force for better conditions and pay abroad and keeping our standards at home. Taxes exist to balance the money supply and create a demand for the currency thus make it valuable to obtain. Phew - some thoughts on being an economic progressive. As a social libertarian that means I believe government should legislate as little as possible in ones private and bedroom affairs and should strongly promote and defend the Bill of Rights with fines and jail time for violators of those rights and this should apply to big corporations and social media as well as government. To each his own is my rule. One America? That means promoting what would unite us out of our diversity to create a cohesive society that works. On those issues called wedge issues I tend to support compromise trending toward progress and liberty while protecting innocent life as much as possible.
