    Marx vs Libertarians | Alienation, Private Property, and the 1844 Manuscripts

    Before Das Kapital, there was 1844. In his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, a 26 year old Karl Marx laid the philosophical foundation for his war on private property. Alienation. Species-being. Estranged labor. Money as the “universal pimp.” Communism as humanity’s redemption. But was Marx diagnosing the disease correctly… or prescribing the wrong cure? In this episode of Are You Smarter Than a Libertarian, we break down Marx’s original arguments in detail and put them under libertarian scrutiny. Is wage labor exploitation or voluntary exchange?Is profit theft or incentive?Does abolishing private property restore humanity… or concentrate power?Is alienation caused by markets… or by the reality of scarcity itself? No slogans.No safe takes.Just economic philosophy in a head-on collision.

    Don Lemon, Free Press, and the Property Rights Everyone Ignores

    Don Lemon says his First Amendment rights were violated. Libertarian ethics say something very different. In this episode, Jeff explains why freedom of the press only protects publishing, not trespassing, why property rights are the foundation of all real rights, and how confusion about the Constitution fuels media outrage cycles.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: The President History Won’t Criticize

    Franklin D. Roosevelt is often remembered as a heroic leader. This episode challenges that narrative. We examine how FDR’s New Deal policies prolonged the Great Depression, how his wartime decisions reshaped global politics for the worse, and how his expansion of executive power still impacts America today. This is a critical, evidence-based look at one of the most protected figures in U.S. history. 🎙️ Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeart Radio⭐ Rate and follow for more episodes like this #smarterthanalibertarian #podcast #history #government #economics

If you still think this is about wages or vibes, you are missing the real enemy. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself.

    Socialism Didn’t Fail Because of Sanctions. That’s the Excuse, Not the Cause

    Every time socialism faceplants, the excuses come out like clockwork. “It was sanctions.”“It was capitalism.”“It was outside interference.” Funny how socialism never fails on its own. Today, Jeff breaks down why libertarians reject the sanctions excuse, why socialism collapses even when left completely alone, and how blaming embargoes is the political equivalent of blaming the ref after losing by 40. From Cuba to the Soviet Union, we look at what actually causes shortages, stagnation, and authoritarian control. Spoiler alert. It’s not capitalism. This episode is for anyone who still thinks socialism just needs better conditions, fewer enemies, or nicer planners. It doesn’t.
