Whereas Communism, Socialism and, to a lesser extent, capitalism have all failed repeatedly. |
Classical liberalism or (neo liberalism) the term often used by the left is a term used to describe those who believe in limited government and negative rights but not positive ones. Just like Social Democracy is used to describe those who believe in a mixed state economy (Socialism + Capitalism)
I have come across Stefan Molneux before in my internet travels, and I will just say that you might want to check out his credentials before buying him wholesale. I can be a fan of biology and state my opinions, but if I want to be taken seriously by academics and the media, than I should at the very least, have a bachelor's degree in the field. Same goes for economics.
