  1. Libertarianism is a fantasy, just the political opposite of socialist utopia. Trump’s amphibian, you think think he’s gonna drain the swamp? Hilarious.

  2. Private schools fight equality

  3. He should know, just parrots a steady stream of conservative dribble. Tough for conservatives when facts lean liberal.

  5. America has a mixed economy, there is no socialist utopia nor a capitalist one.

  9. Pinochet in Chile and Franco in Spain were both right wing fascists. There is no one size fits all definition of fascism.

  10. It’s not feminism’s job to fix the world that men have fouled up. Man up guys.

  11. Reforms needed; Milei is a nut job.

  12. More deaths in unvaccinated states, read ‘conservative’ states. Keep peddling this bs.

  14. Libertarianism is the right wing version of socialist utopia, fantasy.

  15.  @fringestream990  nice evasion. Liberals could say the same about bigger govt. The reality is what we have; shrinking government just gives businesses more power. If it worked , we’d have it.

  16.  @ExPwner  Show example of functioning libertarian state.

  18. Not feminism’s job. Men are in charge and they bear the responsibility.

  19. Reality is you want government balanced by business. It’s called a mixed economy and almost every country has one.

  20. Stossel showing his true, conspiracy leaning colors. What, no video on unending mis/disinformation?

  21.  @noshow22  He always goes anti govt., never anything about FL book bans, don’t say ‘climate change’ laws, don’t say gay. He’s always leaning against liberals.

  22.  @noshow22  He's cherry picking his censorship. What about DeSantis et al book bans, 'Don't Say Climate Change', etc

  23.  @panzerofthelake506  I did not use the word nutcase, but Stossel’s videos almost always lean hard right, while he purports to be impartial. You may be unaware of the history of right wing attacks on the Federal government while favoring ‘states rights’, a strategy used in the past to fight civil rights for blacks.

  24.  @panzerofthelake506  Hemingway, Vonnegut, Maya Angelou. Who decides what’s inappropriate? A minority of Floridians in this case.

  25. There's no free market without socialist safeguards and there's not socialist utopia without some free market.

  26. Stossel as a ‘truth teller’ is the only real myth here.

  27. Another GOP baby Trump

  28. Slashing aid to starving, disease ridden countries? That what you call ‘caring’?

  29. This is an ongoing mantra with conservatives. And of course there’s truth in balancing our checkbook…up to a point. But our economy remains robust enough that paying the interest is not really a problem. Cutting the deficit is a political football that neither party wants to address because citizens don’t like hearing bad news. Taxes have to go up and programs have to be cut. Try selling that to the electorate, instead you see both parties promising to raise the deficit.

  30. Stossel’s a ‘free market’ cultist.

  31. Thomas Sowell is a right wing mouthpiece paid by Hoover.

  32. UBI is obviously no miracle cure, very few things are. But in our era of increasing automation, contract workers and ongoing poverty, UBI may be a partial solution. Conservative pundits are going to hate it because it doesn’t fit the ideal of the free market, but those pundits aren’t offering alternatives.

  33. Libertarian fantasy of ‘free market’ as if the market would work without the FCC, FTC, FDA etc. Politics for children.

  34. Stossel. Proof that conservative and intelligent can’t be used in the same sentence.

  35.  @lnfinite_Mind Peruse Stossel's youtube lineup, nothing but rightwing dogma. You've proved my point.
    1
  36.  @lnfinite_Mind  I understand the appeal of libertarianism, in an ideal world we would have little or no government. As it is, an unfettered free market is no more realistic than utopian socialism. And ‘freedom’ is an idea dependent on your exact definition. I see MAGA using that word to justify racism.

  37.  @lnfinite_Mind  I agree that money has corrupted our system. Citizens United has got to go. We need shorter, limited spending election period where this or that corporation or interest group can't buy a senator.

  38. Conservatives trying to rewrite history and give cover to white supremacists. Trump candidacy and MAGA are living proof.

  39. Stossel’s conservative dogma again. #1 killer of American kids, go ahead and spin it while you live in MA which has some of the strictest gun laws. Hypocrisy in action.

  40. Hilarious. Stossel is all conservative.

  41.  @jumpinjakeflash1 Libertarians are small government, free market believers. That is a conservative political position, just the opposite of socialist big government. Look at Stossel’s videos carefully and you’ll see him taking aim at liberals 9/10 times. Even this piece mentions Covid censorship but not right wing book bans, or Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay, or ‘don’t say climate change’. Stossel would love to pretend that he’s unbiased but that is usually not the case.
    1
  42.  @jumpinjakeflash1  Libertarians are conservatives, anti big government, pro 'free market' and you'll notice most of his darts are aimed at liberals. If he was unbiased he would have called out the censorship in GOP states, Don't say gay, don't say climate change, book bans etc.

  43. You must be joking. Please link some progressive Stossel 'journalism' because I've never encountered it.

  44. Check the mortality rates for non-vax states v vax states.

  45. The usual right wing gibberish from a guy who lives in NYC. Why don’t you move to red country John? Hypocrite.

  46.  @lokai7914  What do you think the federal government is? A gift from big business? Capitalism doesn’t exist without socialism, anywhere.

  47.  @robertfranklin8704  Thank you

  48.  @lokai7914  Open a history book. Every part of the safety net was fought for with blood in America's streets, not a gift from Henry Ford (or Elon Musk). No surprise that the GOP hates the safety net because they worship at the church of the 'Free Market'. There's no free market and there's no socialist utopia, just a constantly shifting balance.

  49.  @jomansson5742  Sadly the same applies in our country sometimes, see Iraq War where Americans died for Bush/Cheney fantasy.

  50.  @teekay_1  Two sides of the same coin. Everything that keeps capitalism in check, the SEC, Social Security, FDA, FTC is not a gift from capitalism, it's socialism. The reverse is true too, socialism doesn't exist without capitalism. The 'Free Market' is a utopian concept, just like perfect socialism. It's just a spectrum.
