Listening to Hoppe is always a pleasure.

Such a tragedy that this only has 28k views.

Wow! I heard Tom Woods hyping this guy up on his podcast and not too surprisingly, Hoppe actually lived up to it! I always considered democracy the lesser of evils, but in one little video he changed my mind :O

Hans Herman Hoppy.
I love the complete disregard the Aussies/English have for the pronunciation of foreign words and names.

Politics isn't about who is right or wrong, but who has the most appealing insentives.

[ChimpOnComputer]

Hoppean principles should be applied by localities first before anyone even thinks of them ever being adopted nationally or even state wide. And that goes for any principles or ideals or strategies in political things. It's how they got ahold of their current seats, and as much as many want to just throw out the seats and rugs from under them, I can't see how that can happen until the majority of local positions are already filled with, and every mandate, decree, and unreasonable and absurd restriction or regulation is repealed. Shall not be infringed means shall not be infringed.
The hoppean snake must return.

[NavaidSyed]

I love you, Dr. Hoppe. Please reinstate Dr. Block as the fellow.

[GeorgWilde]

Immagine Robinson Crussoe with a lot of paper money. It's value outside the coercive apparatus of the state would be made explicit instantly.

41:10 — Specific Errors of Democratic States

[ExpensiveGun]

The introducer grossly mispronounced his name.

[NavaidSyed]

Can it not apply to the US as well? Only significant countries will tax you even if you move to another country.

[Conza]

47:18 — Predictions Under Democratic Conditions

[errorcode]

32:48 "ze protection of life, property and ze pursuit of happiness from domestic violence" *COUGHS* "and from foreign aggression" *DRINKS WINE* .

100% savage. (by savage, i mean civilized)

[danielbowman]

In Czechoslovakia restitutions happened. People got their houses back at least.

[CIARUNSITE]

But if they're fighting with bullets and all you have are ideas...

If only these poor chaps knew what was waiting for them....
