Part Of The Problem · Against Socialism with Keith Knight · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

And you wouldn't really mind, okay, I'm going to get $20 an hour for the rest of my life.

But over time, that money is going to buy more and more and more.

So even that wouldn't really be –

If you had no central bank, if there were mass production, if there were fewer regulations.

One more thing.

I don't I should have made this on the self-interest point, because do you agree with me that the rejection of self-interest is critical to the foundational dispute between us and democratic socialists?

Thank heavens NBC, ABC, and Fox were unable to vote on whether or not podcasts could enter the competition market.

So one thing about criticizing the rich and just supporting the poor, we can say to them, or just supporting the masses instead of the bourgeoisie,

one thing we can say in their favor is being rich almost necessarily meant you were evil for the vast majority of history because the only way to acquire large amounts of wealth and resources was theft and conquest it wasn't until there was the concept of private property the freedom to contract and make mutually beneficial voluntary exchanges that people then could reasonably create large amounts of wealth in a first generation uh time frame

by meeting consumer demand and that.

So for the vast majority of history, being rich could necessarily equate with evil.

So what I use for the self-interest proof or way as a to provide some evidence

You can look at what I call the Donald Trump test.

What we can do is take someone, have them in the private sector, and then put that same person in the public sector.

Because according to democratic socialism, in the public sector, they have to answer to us, the voters.

So they're going to be trying to please us.

But in the private sector, evil, greedy, self-interest, individualism, dog-eat-dog mentalities and externalities, that's horrible.

We want people in the public sector.

What happened was we actually took someone, Donald Trump, from the private sector where he had the apprentice, he had buildings, which whether or not you like them, Donald Trump was not that much of a threat to society as far as being totally detrimental when he was in this voluntary sector.

Even if you didn't like him, he had no right to conscript you with the Selective Service.
