Calling Out the 'YouTube Libertarians'

I despise the Youtube libertarian crowd. Numerous fruitless debates later, it is refreshing to see a concentrated refutation of the vacuous philosophy these crackpots subscribe to.

Notice some of the comments.

We live in a highly state controlled economy where the government provides lots of goods and services ... which proves what exactly? That government is necessary? That would be total non-sequitur. Yet that is the argument made in the video. It's a truly retarded argument.

We live in a "highly state controlled economy," comrades. The tenuous regulation that does exist in the Global North is surely what is propelling us toward the "road to serfdom." Ignore the vastly disproportionate political power of capital (especially multinational corporations) and its aggressive international organizations such as the WTO, IMF, and the WBG, which act in order to expedite the expansion of neoliberalism. Also, disregard the wave of austerity sweeping Europe and the United States.

Notice the straw man that this member constructs: that Seder's critique was a circular argument and so can be easily dismissed. In fact, it was "StatelessLiberty" who merely asserted that "we live in a highly state controlled economy" and then proceeded to draw an asinine line of reasoning therefrom.

Quite honestly, we should upload videos that potently refute these maniacs.
