This is the only youtuber I've felt the need to donate money too. This video has some great history. I don't agree with his conclusion. Mostly for two reasons, 1. It essentially leads to a situation where anything other then laissez faire capitalism become socialism. I don't find that particularly useful. 2. It leads to massive confusion. Planed economies are dangerous and oppressive. Confusing any government intervention with a planed economy is not only confusing but it creates an easy strawman.

Too many Ryan Chapmans to spend much time finding out about him.
Everybody has a political opinion, and economic opinion, religious opinion, etc., etc., etc.

Clearly you didn't watch the video9 :lol:

He goes out of his way to keep his political leanings out of his videos and instead focuses on history to answer questions as objectively as he cans. You won't find information about his political lean because he doesn't talk about it. I do find it interesting that you went to such extreams to attack the source instead of listening to what he said and addressing the content.
