The stands are full and they're all painted with sky blue and white colors. There is a lot of joy. People sing songs that are very fun, that are very distinctive.

So, I mean, what do I know is that there are many liberals, libertarians and anarcho-capitalists who are really useless because all they do is criticize, let's say, those of us who want to lead the world toward the ideas of freedom.

Therefore, if you level your harshest criticism at those in your own ranks, you end up being subservient to socialism, probably. And also, for instance, you have cases of strong hypocrisy, let's say. I have seen cases of agorists. I mean... It's the anarcho-capitalists who criticize Rothbard because he said that you have to get into politics, otherwise the socialists will advance.
