But this much is for sure: they tell and/or believe in lies. ‎️‍🔥 Watch Juan Carlos Hidalgo’s Last Video: WHY IS LATIN AMERICA SO CORRUPT – https://youtu.be/rFxQOB6HEcA ️‍🔥  Those lies, though, are persuasive to a lot of people.

It’s a shameful anniversary: October 1, 1949 is the date the People’s Republic of China was founded. Ever since, a country steeped in a tradition of philosophical wisdom has been put through the torture chamber — literally and figuratively — of communism. It raises the question: how did communism take root? The answer lies in […]

No matter how or how often war is fought, the result is the same: it works out horribly for pretty much everyone involved. So in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s pertinent to ask: how do governments keep convincing people that war is in their best interests? This video seeks to answer that question, […]

Inflation is the word of the day; rates in the United States have hit 40-year highs, and seemingly everyone is feeling the pain — from the gas pump to the grocery store. But with growing media attention also comes bad or misleading information. To set the record straight, we brought in the heavy muscle: Learn […]

Al-Qaeda’s terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, sought to secure the free world into giving up its freedom. The terrorists largely failed; the free world is resilient, after all. But here we are, more than 20 years later, and the Transportation Security Administration not only still exists but is still enacting its “security theater,” needlessly […]

The Guardian once called neoliberalism “the ideology at the root of all our problems.” New York Magazine called neoliberalism “the left’s favorite insult of liberals.” 

But does anyone really know what the word means — or know anything about its origins?

As tensions rise between Ukraine and Russia, it can be easy to fall into the trap of picking sides. But there is no good side of war, and no good justification for it. 

War, in all its forms, is wrong. Even so-called “justified” wars have had horrific unintended consequences. 

With cameo appearances from Edwin Starr and George Carlin, this video lays out the Libertarian position on war in general, and Ukraine specifically. 

We spoke to Students For Liberty alum and CEO of the Ukrainian Institute for Economic Leadership Mykhailo Lavrovskyi about Vladimir Putin, the Revolution of Dignity, and what Ukrainian sovereignty should look like.

Those flying cars we’ve seen for years in sci-fi films and cartoons? Yeah — still waiting. But we DO have cars that run on electricity, and they’re a big improvement over gasoline for many car buyers and for the environment.

Why, then, is it so difficult and expensive to get one?

This video seeks to answer that question, but we’ll give you a hint: state and federal government power are being leveraged in a big way.

The history of Marxism (and its offspring, Communism) in Latin America is a sordid one. Many of its brutal dictators, including Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Pedro Castillo, have used the Marxist doctrine as a stepstool to power.
